5pin Fan conection on HP Z400 Workstation?
I was looking to upgrade my heat-sink and fan on my HP Z400 Workstation LGA1366 XEON W3530 with a Corsair A70 Cooler. Fitment of the A70 shouldn't be a problem but the fan pinout is.
HP uses a 5-Pin connection with a black wire that jumpers the two outer pins.
The fan itself uses 4 wires
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
- Black
The fifth pin is after the yellow and is connected with a small wire to the black fan pin.
Corsair gives me 3pin fan connections and Y adapters to run a push pull setup.
No 5 pin adapter in sight.
Should I rig my own adapter, and how?
Doing 3D renders
So far temps are in 65-70c with the Xeon and Stock cooler
I get about 47c max on my other computer w/ LGA775 Core2Quad with a Rocketfish Push Pull Setup and that is a much smaller heatsink then the Corsair A70.
I can put the A70 on my LGA775 but that seems like a waste.
idle temps are fairly close about 32 for the xeon and 28 with the quadcore with aftermarket cooler.
Just so you know Liquid cooling is not something I want deal with.
Thanks
closest thing I found was a
USB/KK Header Connector 1 X 5
in black so if I had to make my own connection I would probably use that. Just need some way of telling which wires are what.
