    Ok, I created a new adapter based on a new idea of tapping 5V from a 4 pin or floppy molex. For this, I scavenged the cut off excess wire from the Yate Loon that I did for the radiator fan mod. Here is the cruddy result (I didn't bother sleeving it for a neat look right now for a simple test, I'll do it later) :


    Installed in my loop in place of the other adapter :


    It works fine and I get exactly the same reading range as the old one so either method works without problems. Martinm210, I think you should try this way in case your 680i is giving funky 12V feeding (maybe due to PWM, which can cause erratical behavior with non-PWM fans from what I heard around) with only the sensor wire going in your motherboard header.

    P.S. : Disregard the gross tubing, will be replaced by black Tygon shortly.
