I&#39;ve never seen one fail at 7v, but you may not get the cooling you want.

You could always put a two-way switch somewhere in the return line from the fan.
Connect the red fan wire to +12v(yellow) as before.
Connect the fan return (black) to the switch common side, connect the other two switch terminals to ground (black) and +5v (Red). The switch then changes operation from 12v to 7v. Switch up to 12v when you are playing games, drop to 7v at times when your GPU is not used much.

good idea. that way iit can be quieter when youre not at it [/b][/quote]


actually, i think its a good idea....... when playing games you prolly have the sound on high, so you dont hear the fans...... but when you dont play, you do hear it......

I cant hear this fan anyway. Could I set it up with two 12v at the same time? Would it do anything?

yes you can, bonus of that being that you would hear even less......... bad side about it is that the fan will run at 0v (and trust me, very few devices work @ 0v)

this is because the difference of the two 12v lines is 0v (=12v-12v)

normally you would have a 12v line and a 0v line (ground), difference 12-0= 12v
or with the 7volt mod: a 12v line and a 5v line, difference 12-5=7v
