Yeah, connect the fan between the 12V and 5V rails, and if it fails in short circuit, it will take all the 5V circuitry as collateral damage. I am not sure if that has ever happened to anyone, though. It would not be a big loss on PC hardware, but we are talking C= valuables here. :-) Marko Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-05-15 13:00:14
