Since my thermaltake 480W butterfly psu died, I decided it was a good idea to rip out the two fans from it..snip snip snip.
Originally the power supply came with an external "X-Blower", controlled by an aluminum speed control panel with 2 main “Tt” knob, which also controlled the power supply exhaust fan. These two fans both have connections for the fan speed control panel.
The psu intake fan I managed to wire on a connector and is working, but without speed control (I taped off the third wire). The exhaust fan has three red, two black and a yellow wire coming out of it. The yellow and black wire goes to a three pin connector, two of the red ones go to the fan control, and the last two wires red and black, well I snipped them from the power supply. I don't know what these last two do and the unit will not power up.
Sorry I don't have pics at the moment, any idea how much power and in what configuration I would need to make this fan work?
