Temperature Switch Kit  

Temperature Switch Kit

Use this kit in the HeatSync 6000 Case for ultra-silent fan operation. Allows case fan to remain off when system is in low demand. After system has been under load, switch turns the fan on after case temperature reaches 40 deg C. Includes bracket for mounting switch to heatpipe clamping plates on case. This switch requires no electricity to operate increasing reliability. Can be used in conjunction with fan speed controllers for maximum versatility.
  • 40 deg C. Temperature Switch
  • Switch Harness for fan
  • Bracket for HeatSync 6000 case
  • Mounting Hardware

Thermal Switch  

Thermal Switch

This switch reacts only to thermal affects and requires no electricity to operate. Normally open switch closes at rated temperature sending power to fan. Can be used in conjunction with fan speed controllers for maximum versatility. Swivel bracket allows switch to be mounted to any flat surface.
  • Normally open circuit
  • Switch closes at rated temperature
  • Max load 8.5A @ 12 VDC
  • Voltage Rating 250 VAC

 40 C. Degree Thermal Switch .... $15.00

Resets (opens circuit) at 32C

50 C. Degree Thermal Switch .... $15.00

Resets (opens circuit) at 39C

Thermal Switch Wiring Harness  
Wiring harness for connecting thermal switch to 3-pin fan connector. Plugs into motherboard or fan speed controller. Quick release blade connectors for connection to thermal switch. 18" long leads reach anywhere inside case.

Automatic Fan Speed Controller

Automatic Fan Speed Controller

This Fan Speed Controller is compact in size for easy mounting in any location. Linear response curve for smooth ramp up. Load stabilized output for consistent speed. 12 volt start-up circuit spins fan at full speed during start up to ensure reliable operation. One controller can be used with two case fans using a fan splitter cable. Most motherboards can handle the current of two small fans per connector. Typical speed range is around 1700---2500 RPM. If you want to constantly run your fan at a precise RPM- get the  fan speed cable instead.
$15.00
Fan Speed Control Cable
The fans used in this case are the slowest speed available in a 70mm size. However, I prefer to run them even slower for reduced noise. Stock fan speed is 3300 RPM, this speed is fine for remote installations where noise is not a concern or where maximum cooling is desired. Advanced users can easily make/modify their own cables. Cable is just a standard fan extension cable with a resistor installed inline to reduce the current to the fan.

Note: There are many variables to optimum fan speed. You may want to run the fans faster with a hot video card. A cool running system can run the fans at slower speeds. For quiet cooling of your Radeon, see the Mass-Air Heatsink System.

Select Resistor Value
33 ohm
47 ohm
68 ohm
82 ohm
100 ohm

Recommended fan speeds:

  • 00 ohm  =  3300 RPM (>3 GHz)

  • 33 ohm  =  2500 RPM (2.8 - 3 GHz)

  • 47 ohm  =  2300 RPM (2.5 - 2.8 GHz)

  • 68 ohm  =  2000 RPM (2.0 - 2.5 GHz)

  • 82 ohm  =  1600 RPM (1.8 - 2.0 GHz)

  • 100 ohm = 1300 RPM (<1.8 GHz)

For lower noise, slower speeds can be used. Get a few sizes to see what works best in your system.

Fan Extension Cable

18" long 3-pin fan extension cable. Use this cable to extend the reach of your fan cable or to build your own fan speed cable.

 

 

 

  $3.00

Fan Splitter Cable

Use this cable to connect two case fans to a single three pin header. Allows two fans to be used with one fan speed controller. 3-pin connectors for fans with tach signal.
