12v/OFF/7v switch

[iMc]

Does anyone know where I can buy ready made versions of these that you can plug either 1, 2 or possibly 3 fans into. Want to see if I can quieten down my system on the cheap for nighttime downloading .

there is a speciifc zalman model, that control fans and has 2, 3 way switch that does what you ask, its on overclockers, and doesnt have bad reviews

[iMc]

couldnt link me could you? cant seem to spot it i dont think.

[mr_anderson187]

link you where?

its the first one on that page, the zalman one, although it doesnt say it, on the right of the controller, as you see in the pic there is a toggle switch, google the name for reviews, and youll see its a on/off , and 2 different voltage selecter thingy switches,

overclockers are useless phannies, so they dont point this out

hope this helps

cheers, I wonder if theres anything that goes in floopy drive bay that does the same thing. Not bothered with all the variable speed adjustment just want to turn off/7v 3 fans when I dont need them at full speed.

Thanks again.

i got a crapy 3inch bay (floppy bay size) controller off ebay, and all it does is change my 3 pin fans from full to slower (id guess 7v) and it comes in matt blak with blue l.e.d.s or fetching silver...

surely if you replaced some of those fans with the more known silent versions, theyd be practically hush hush, at 7v

but afaik and iirc thres a site that sells exactly what your looking for in the 5.5inch verison, ill rattle my meager pea-brain to remember it

[mr_anderson187]

got it, a site that sells sortof what your after, that you coudl mod to a 3 inch bay yourself,
here

or a little guide if your feeling DIYish

hope this helps

I made a very simple version using a 3 way toggle switch, some wire, my case drive bay cover 3.5", some molex connectors.

Diagram here



from http://www.fanbus.com/

Instead of wiring the switch directly to the fan I wired it to a molex splitter cable so two fans could be plugged in to it. No LEDS or other flashy things but worked a treat and cost bugger all.

yeah thats were i linked to, (fanbus) but iMc has a few fans to do and mightnt want his case cluttered up, but this is defitnitly an easier idea,
