Hey all,
Does anyone know if this works (and doesnt ruin anything? )
I successfully done a 5 volt mod and PWM at the same time in the past, such that the 5V speed is lower, and you still maintain PWM control of that lower speed.
I've done this by making my own adapter, where +5v and ground come from a molex plug, and the motherboard gets the rpm and pwm connections.
Question is, is this possible with the 7 volt mod?
The reason I am concerned is that a 7 volt mod uses +5v as ground.
The PWM signal only drives up to 5v, and if it expects to have a ground to sink to, it could do anything from just not work, to actually destroying the motherboard.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
