GeForce 6200 fan noise
Hi Folks,
I need a little help from the circuit designers. I have a PNY GeForce 6200 would like to reduce the noise from the heatsink fan. I bought a $30 Zalman VGA cooler and it doesn't fit, waaahh! Now I am thinking of reducing the stock fan speed in half, for example splice the +5V and put a resistor in line. But I have little electrical expertise. What value resistor do I need to make this work? Please give me the value and the color code for the resistor, and the wattage. Thanks in advance, Mario |

it uses heat pipes. about 186.00 us dollars or get a passive cooling unit for your 6200 or put ear plugs in. "Mario Rosario" wrote in message . net...
