| | Fans on while sleeping? Hi, I just built a computer with a mini P180 case, which has fans with molex connectors. I have the fans plugged straight into the power supply. When I put the computer into sleep mode, the fans still spin. Is there any way to get the fans to go to sleep too? |

That has to stay on and if the fans are plugged there so do they. Is there any where else that you can plug them? Ken J+ |

| | Hmmm... thats odd though, because I have a fan power port thingy in my other computer with a molex input from the PS with 4 pin outputs, but the fans still turn off when in sleep.... Uhh, I don't think so  .... |

| | No. The alternative is to shutdown, rather than sleep...unless you want to do some serious modding. |

| | It may depend on the power supply. I have three machines running Windows 7 here, all are built into Antec P18x cases, all have case fans that plug into a Molex directly from the PSU and all of the fans shut down when the computer goes into sleep mode (s3). The power supplies here are a Corsair TX 750, a PC Power and Cooling Silencer 510 SLI and an Antec Tru-Power 380. Check your BIOS settings and make sure that sleep mode "S3" is enabled. |
