Ahem

 

[Dude]

I believe you are talking about pwm fans, you have to turn the fan around. Look at this wiring diagram

Really, much faster to just turn the fan around.

And no, you can turn the connector around to make it spin the opposite direction.

Ive modded these fans and when turning them around they make a horrible vibrating noise. They are used horizontally

I wouldve turned the fan around but i kind of need to make them do this. Please read the above reply

I may be wrong, but I don't think fans are designed to work in reverse......sure you can make them spin backwards but the whole air flow dynamic and engineering that when into the fan is now worthless.

Turning them around should not make a difference. Can you post a pic of them mounted? If they are not secured it can cause vibration.

Having mounting holes at each corner on both sides suggests they can be mounted either way, blow air out or in.

Its not the mounting. The fans themselves make a horrible noise because of my mod. This happens fan side up. They are against a radiator too.

[Dude]

So what exactly is your mod?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Sounds like a good time to buy un-modded fans and start over.

I drilled holes in the back, painted the blades and put them back on. Since then they've done that. These are sp120s that come with the h105

[Dude]

Try taking it apart again, then put the blade back on. The vibration seems to indicate you didn't get it back on right. Is the paint job even and smooth?

 

[Berton]

Yep, doesn't take much to upset the balance of the blades, paint will do it when the coats are not exactly the same. Dust buildup on fans will do it.

Meh... ill just buy some new ones then.

It's your choice, could be you just need to re do the paint job. Post a pic of your modded fans if you'd like
