(It wont let me adjust it). I hooked a meter to an unused ATA plug (yellow and black wires) and it reads 12.25 When I get back into windows, meter reads pretty steady during this time), I run speed fan, and it is reading 12 V = 13.63 V. But my meter is reading fairly constant 12.29 V. These leads me to think speedfan is off by nearly a volt. Makes me doubt if temps are dead on correct now. |
