Hi,
I have a FC5V2 which is permanently running with one unplugged fan header. In the past I've used the linear rheostat type of fan controllers, and in that situation it was usually recommended to set them at 12V instead of minimum, so it wouldn't heat up a MOSFET on a free channel.
Now with this kind of more complex PWM regulation circuit, is there also a preferred idle position (0/12V) so it won't heat up/consume energy or slightly stress parts for no use? Thanks.
ps: I've already contacted mail support, but they couldn't give me an answer on this non issue.
