New Cooler Woes

NoSlak · 14-May-03, 10:50 PM

So i just got the slk-800 from UPS man, got some clips on it no biggie I couod prolly figure out how they go or look at a website, thing must weigh 50 lbs. tho sheesh hope it doesnt tear out my cpu socket.
So main prob I have is I ordered a 80mm Panaflo with it but the lil black and red wires on it have no plug attached to it !!! WTF am I supposed to do with that? Take the th9ing out of my old one?? I dunno how to connect these things!??!?!?!?!?

BigAkita · 14-May-03, 10:54 PM

That's called an untailed fan. It's common to ship them like that. Just clip the connector of another old fan or piece of equipment and connect it. You don't even need to solder it, just strip a little bit of the wire, twist them together, then wrap some electrical tape around it.

putwig · 14-May-03, 10:57 PM

Panaflo fans are always (at least all I have seen) "untailed".

Cut the connector off your old CPU fan and solder it to the free tails of the Panaflo. 12V to red, ground to black.

NoSlak · 14-May-03, 11:00 PM

ahhh, thx BA; BTW soon as I get my new board stable I can Format my other one and swap the the boards and CPU out of it which means that ole xp2100 is yours .

BTW noone ever got nervous to the weight of these things yanking out their Socket?

EDIT: Thx you to Putwig.

Here is a helpfull picture...

If you want, use a thumbtack to remove the metal clips and repalce the wires. It's very easy.

NoSlak · 14-May-03, 11:03 PM

Koo, only got red and black on new panaflo though.

BigAkita · 15-May-03, 01:50 AM

The yellow is just a sensor wire, you don't need it.

Just to follow up on Putwig's post; since this is the fan on your heatsink, if you are able to solder go ahead and do it. That is the one fan that you don't want the connection coming apart on.

Thanks for the offer for the 2100, I have some stuff I could trade you for it. I would like to upgrade my PR bench system to a CPU that is a little more real world than the 1.4 T-Bird that is in it. Besides that, I fried a 1.4 and 2200 recently doing reviews. The good news is I got some more cool keychains...WooHoo.

anime-fan-man · 15-May-03, 01:56 AM

deltas and torrnados come untailed as well, hooking them up is fairly simple and BigAkita and grim have filled in the info void,

NoSlak · 16-May-03, 09:59 PM

Ok , so I souldered the wires nic fan works , its on HS, BUT an alarm goes off and shuts mobo down , yes i am on cpu 1, i tried 2 and 3, i only have a lack and red wire no yellow I H8 ABIT NOW !!!!!!!!!!

Buzz_4_20 · 16-May-03, 10:22 PM

do ya have any other fans that have the sensor wire, if so hook that to the cpu fan header and trick the mobo but if your cpu fans does fail you can only hope for the temp protection to kick in.

NoSlak · 16-May-03, 10:30 PM

damn, no other fans have that , just bot this new panaflow

NoSlak · 16-May-03, 10:32 PM

how bout cutting of the fan tail of an old one, NOT tying wires together but just keep it on header?

Buzz_4_20 · 16-May-03, 10:56 PM

the mobo needs the signal that says the fan is running, and ususally that it's running over 2000rpms.

putwig · 16-May-03, 11:38 PM

You only need to hook up a fan to the header long enough to get into the bios and disable the feature. In the same section as the bios displays temps etc, there will be a "shut down on CPU fan failure option" ....... disable it!

Don't hate ABIT, I would be surprised if many boards are left that do not have that feature! For Joe average it is a great safety feature!

NoSlak · 16-May-03, 11:49 PM

thx you 2, God I love this site, my g/friend was gunna throw my comp out the window isf she heard that alarm 1 more time. Oh well I hope this fan never dies !!!! No sensor and I gues no way to read temps but NO SIRENS !!!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK !!!!

putwig · 17-May-03, 12:05 AM

It won't interfere with temp monitoring ability, you just won't be able to senses the RPM of the CPU fan!

Us water coolers have been disabling that feature for ages!

BigAkita · 17-May-03, 12:09 AM

Just remember to do some maintenance on the fan about once a month. I use the exhaust on my high-speed Hoover to blow out the heatsinks on my computers and clean the fans. If you ever notice a temp anomaly, shut the comp down and inspect the HSF.

A lot of people run like this, me for one on two of my systems. The trick is to remember that they have to be maintained. That goes for monitored and unmonitored fans on a heatsink.

Day 2,
So a bit of my finger is sore from when I got it caught in a 5000 rpm TT fan I plugged in while trying to get the thing to work but I did what u guys said so I'm cool with that; specially since I dont feel the pain in my finger cuz of the overtly obvious throbbing I am getting from the 2nd degree burn I gave to the inside of my thigh while I was complimenting myself on my first soulder job of the red and black wires.

So everything came together last night and we was on a DC server playin only thing is my temps are around 45 to 46 C with my Thermaltake volcano 7+ they was around 40 to 41 C???
Oh well least the SLK looks cool.

BigAkita · 17-May-03, 11:21 AM

How did you apply the thermal compound?

Man, that burn is a little too close to home.

Fu3lman · 17-May-03, 11:51 AM

you sure do have alot of cooling for an overclocked Atari 2600 (@ 3500 speeds, lmfaooooo)
