general

also Reggie i thought they only controled case fans

ones mounted on the case or whatever else

Nah its whatever you plug in

Youre usually able to

different designs

Control fans off of some of the headers on the motherboard but

Sometimes it just refuses

So Max, most good fans (non molex) use those little 3-4 pin connectors

you plug that into the controller

yes

you can control them

we talked about

3-4 pins yesterday

or i mentioned them

maybe day before

OH

I thought you meant mounting pins

no lol

like, the literal screws you were mounting with

whar

what*

thought you were saying you could only line up 3

nonono

This makes way more sense now

i have a weird number of 4 and 3pins

yeah, the 4th pin is usauly PWM

power management

ye

which lets you get speed data back from it

rather than just sending speed to it

oh god

my music accidentally pulled the happy birthday song

LOL

so I'm listening to it

and randomly i hear pikas voice

i actually jumped

Now this

is a fan controller

who needs knobs and dials

spooky I'd unironically like that

i love those kinda switches

it's like you're a kid

my dad has tons of mixing and music equipment

so when i was a kid

I'd play with all the shit

dials knobs switches

My big power server thing

has knobs

has the coolest on switch

show

no, you have to turn a key, and then a thing pops out, and you can hit the button

holy fuck

it's like zathura

i think

they turn then hit a button right

that is basically thesame

but uh

are there autistic kid toys

that are just huge dials and buttons

and epic switches

God, this picture is shit

So, the little silver thing on the right, is the key

you press it in, it pups up, then you turn it

it's just

on the carpet?

it's only running at 1/5 right now

I haven't racked it

oh

ok

(I should)

I was testing to see if I should bet a battery bank to go along with it

since I'm headed to the computer store on 7/7 for CPUs, thought I'd look at what batteries they had

ah

>having money

kappa

Who is this for
