Message: Subject: how many fans pro connector/ 24V fan By: jv_guano (IP: 151.42.48.*) Written on: 21-04-2006 15:47 Hi! I'd like to know if there's a limit of fans that can be connected to a connector. Moreover, can the connector that I choose for supplying fans, be connected to other devices? I'd use this way to connect (page's in italian, but you can watch the pictures and figure it out! ) http://digilander.libero.it/andypanix/Hardware/Ventole/Regolare_il_voltaggio_delle_ventole.htm#Effettuare_i_collegamenti 2nd question: I've found a 24V fan: where can I put a twenty-four V fan? Aren't too much 24 volts? Thanks!

How many exactly depends on the specs of your power supply; but depending on the type of fan, you can connect at least 5-10 fans to a single connector on a standard power supply at 12V. If using the "7V trick", I'd be a bit more careful. 24V fans are more commonly used for industrial applications. If you are lucky, the fan will run at reduced speed at 12V with a normal PC power supply, but there's no guarantee it will (try it ) bye, Tillmann By: jv_guano (IP: 151.42.48.*) Written on: 21-04-2006 16:12 thanx a lot for your reply! so, it's okay! I don't want use the 7V trick, and I don't want more than 5 fans! so, can I plug the fan to a connector already used, like the HD or CD-unit ones? I'll try with the 24V one, but it's small...I think is very useless!
