What's the wire gauge for the fans? 24/26?? I want to extend all of my rad fan wires about 30"-36" to route them around the inside edge of my case. Should I go with once gauge larger for the extended runs?

Ok...24 it is...what size Techflex PET Cable Sleeving ...the 1/8" ?Originally Posted by HiJon89
I believe the 1/8 is what you're looking for.
I also believe that the true gauge on the wires is 26, not that it makes a difference. Just FYI.

Depends on the fans. I've seen anywhere between 24 and 28 used on fans.

Good information here. I am planning to run the wires for the fans (on the rear of the case) to the front of the case where the fan controller is going.

you could run a thinner wire for the rpm pulse
I was wondering the same thing.
Would this stuff be too thin?
that would be fine... thats a good deal on the wire... and theres a jaycar just round the corner from me in northbridge
just remember to only connect one fan into the pulse wire
Hahah good, cos I recently bought 4 rolls of each colour, plus a dozen 3pin headers and some soldering supplies.
Last thing I'm trying to find locally is the motherboard KK header plugs (at least I think they are KK).
By this chart:

If i wanted to wire all three of my rad fans together with a .25 amp draw per fan, I would need 22 Gauge which is rated at .92 amp working load. (leave some overhead room) 24 gauge is rated .72 amps working load.
Found this twist for $5...
Overpriced. Guess ill have to get it in 3 - 25' spools for $4 each. I have a few separate case fans that i will use the RPM wire.
