Running the fans at 12 Volts is the standard way. Some people set the fans up to run at 5 Volts so that the fans will spin at a lower RPM and be a little more quiet. You shouldn't have a problem running both fans off of one connector. I actually have 5 fans off of one connector, as well as one hard drive, and have no problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Perry Hoekstra" <dutchman at uswest.net> To: <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 11:39 AM Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Electrical Question > Ryan Bethke wrote: > > > The red wire on the fan runs to the orange/yellow wire from the powersupply > > connector (12V) or the red wire if you want to run the fan at 5V.
