    No, you tell me what chips they are ? Including that 16-pin one... :confused:

    Then I'll say "Just noise, Kna, don't worry about it" :geek:

    Do you happen to know the maplin code for 4 to 3 pin plug converters, as I have 3 coolermaster case fans, with molex connectors, and only one coolermaster sleeve fan with a 3 pin connector. I am either looking for a converter I can plug in, or the stock code for the standard 3 pin plug and I can then fit them to the wires (this saves me space in the case as I get rid of all the pass through connectors that will become redundant).
    Thanks :)
    BTW, great site, I have been reading it for a while, just never have the time to post! I am currently makinf the HDD activity meter, tis a nice mod :)

    Very tightly, there's easy rotation on the knobs themselves, but everything is held together securely.

    just had a look on the eksitdata site and it says that the led intensity does vary when u turn the knob.

    are they wrong or is it just minimal change?

    I don't want a 3 to 4 pin converter, I want a 4 to 3 pin converter.
    Currently, 3 of my fans use Molex connectors, I want to be able to change this so they can connect to the fan controller. So either an adaptor, or preferably, some 3 pin plugs that I can crimp on there myself!
    Thankyou.

    Not easy, I was trying last night to get the thing apart and it didn't go well.

    I don't seem to be able to get the knobs and clear shrouding away so I can get to the circuitboard. More news if I work out how.

    Oh, and I've removed your Avatar, no porn please. :nono:
