SCYTHE Ultra Kaze 3000

[malik22]

Hi guys



I was wondering if the nanoxia fan controller that came with my nanoxia 120mm fan will work to adjust the SCYTHEs rpm all the way upto 3000?Or can I hook the SCYTHE 3pin into my mobo(Asus P5E Delixe X48) and adjust the fanspeed in the bios? Im gonna setup my new system tommorow and wanted to know what to do.

Yup, it'll work. The regulator isn't a RPM regulator, it changes the voltage given to the fan. I believe it operates from 7 - 12 V. I wouldn't recommend trying to use your motherboard for controlling fans, speedfan is the most common method and doesn't work properly anyways. Your BIOS just shows the fan speed.

By the way, watch out with the Nanoxia controllers, they work nicely until you pull the cables a bit too hard by the regulator itself.

I wouldn't run the Scythe off your motherboard. They are powerful fans and might burn out the header.

They run at 0.60A and your motherboard can take up to 1.5. It'll be fine.

I've never heard of a motherboard supplying 1.5A to a fan header. Most do like 6W, which is .5A.

Ah yes, my bad, you're right. Have a look in your motherboard literature how many amps your motherboard supports.
