The [Official] Thermalright Silver Arrow / SB-E Club - Page 221

post #2201 of 3228
7/17/12 at 8:05am
I've finally got one of these on the way to me but I'm after a quick bit of advice.

I'll be using it with a MSI P55-GD80 which has one CPU fan header next to the socket. As the SA has two fans (like a lot of coolers) do I need a "Y" splitter cable or do I merely attach the second fan to a case fan header?

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you order the SB-E version it comes with a Y-cable. Otherwise yea you'll need to get one if you plan to run both via PWM. I've used this cable and this cable and both worked great. thumb.gif

I read that the blue wire sensor must be clipped from the additional fan(s)? confused.gif


I hope my new mb has enough headers biggrin.gif

What? Why? No one including myself in this thread has ever had to do that. If you want to run two or three TY-140s (or any other PWM fans) off a single CPU_FAN header all you need is something like this cable. Notice the molex connector that goes to the PSU and the other labeled PWM wires. Everything you need is in that cable. thumb.gif

Thats what I thought, but Griff's question had me thinking too. I ended up reading a thread on Tom's (I know, of all places rolleyes.gif) where they suggested cutting the rpm sensor to allow pwm to work.

Thanks for the input, I'll grab a pair of Ys thumb.gif

Akasa also has a 5-fan version which is also powered via molex. That one cable could handle three on the SA and two elsewhere in your case! thumb.gif I have my 3-fan version running two on the SA and another mid-case fan. Cutting wires for this sort of thing is just silly...unless you're absolutely set on being as cheap as possible I guess. Still don't understand why some think you need to cut wires for PWM to function correctly. rolleyes.gif

tnx thumb.gif

I also have a Mix fan controller. going to see how that works and then try pwm on the mb header.

I bought some more clips and pads to mount the 3rd fan to the SA.

this one doesn't require external power:

As soon as I sell more stuff, I'm going to pick up two BitFenix pros. But I'm unclear which is better, the 230mm or the 200mm one. Also looking for three 140s or two 180s as intake.

Thread Starter 
Make sure the CPU_FAN header on your board can handle the voltage of that many fans. Otherwise they won't be able to run efficiently. The 230 Spectre is 10mm thicker which could cause problems as a side fan if the top of the SA is close to the side panel. The 200mm is quieter according to the specs with only a little less CFM. If you're going for a positive pressure environment inside your case you should try to keep the CFM of all fans similar. If you haven't already check out the Positive Air Cooling item in my sig. ehume and company can help you figure out our air flow config proper! thumb.gif

EDIT: Here's a good read on positive pressure and PC cases.
