Is it a no go? I know it'll be noisy but it should hack it right. This is an 80mm we're talking about. Running it over 12V and -5V.
I think I'll try it outside the comp before I try it with mobo and everything plugged in...

Why you wanna do that? Its gonna sound louder than a Delta or Tornado at those volts.
Are you on one of ur crazy overclocking missions again kez? :p
Crazy mission again iMc, lol.
I've got an old 80mm wired across -5V and +12V right now - on an old PSU.
Seems to be running OK...
Hope it goes ok. Id leave it running for an hour or so 1st to see if its ok.
Loud?
The fan will most prob burn out. The motor isnt rated to use that voltage. Wait for the smoke :P
Yeah I know it'll probably burn out, but to be fair, I bet it can hack it as it's only 5/6V more (ok 50% overvolt then, lol.)
Film it burn :)
Working fine here too. (Talking to Kez on MSN ;) )
Running an 80MM fan from an old 250W.
Fan's whining a fair bit ;)
Watercool your fan!
I was planning on putting a heatsink on it - then maybe aircoo... oh hang on... :PQuote:

lol. whats this fan overvoltage in add of anyway?
Moar cooling!
Just tried it across the -12V and +12V rails (ie 24V.)
I got a ton more airflow out of it - and took a reading of the voltage...
Came back as 40V - I think the -12V rail on the PSU is poorly regulated when there isn't much load on it, LMAO.
edit: FYI I'm testing this with an old quiet fan from a PSU - I'd love to see what happens to a delta...
LMAO 24V (or whatever insane voltage this PSU is giving out) is VERY noisy! And there's an awful lot of airflow!! I'll do some videos with comparisons in a while
Ive got a 240v fan here ;) I win! :)
But it's not overclocked! :heckle:
Ive got a power distribution box at the end of my road. How many volts do you think goes through that? :P
