Ops, or rather it tries to turn on, but restarts endlessly. The fan itself is working

#

are you plugging it into correct connector? If yes then it is likely a short

#

how many pins are there in that connector?

#

I wanted to disconnect one CPU fan that makes noise while running and leave the other one that works quietly to work as the main one.

#

4

#

#

Wow, ye, i watching to this cable now

#

it's wrong info, my have not 0.16a, but 0.11A

#

it look like this:

#

100% same writing

#

u see 4 cables?

#

i have also 4 cables in 1

#

and 4 holes at the end

#

all holes have some metal inside, so looks like they not fake ones

#

@orchid walrus if i try put that fan one more time, i will not destroy my pc?

#

lets say i did mistake last time...

#

but i don't think so

orchid walrus Nov 26, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

well it shorts the pc. overcurrent protection should kick in but i wouldnt call it particulary healthy.

valid mantle Nov 26, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

ok, then i not gonna try it

#

but how both fans worked before without any problems...

#

i not get

#

is your motherboard connector 4 pin? cant think of a reason you should be making short with 4 pin on 4 pin.

#

orchid walrus are you using this connector

yes, i use this

#

but i can't tell 100% i used it last time, i just 99% sure 😄

#

anyway, better not risk?

orchid walrus Nov 26, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

valid mantle anyway, better not risk?

you probably didnt break anything but dont try it over and over.

valid mantle Nov 26, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

orchid walrus you probably didnt break anything but dont try it over and over.

i plan to buy Noctua NF-A15 PWM

#

is it risky or not?

orchid walrus Nov 26, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

havent told me where did you plug that fan yet

#

anything is dangerous when plugged in incorrectly

valid mantle Nov 26, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

orchid walrus havent told me where did you plug that fan yet

i think i did it in right place, but i not 100% sure, because i didn't focus on that part to much and done it more without thining much.

#

So basically lets say it was 2 options, pump and cpu fan sockets

#

if it was cpu fan socket, i should not try from your perspective?

#

or i can try one more time?

#

ok, forget. I just buy new cooler 😄
