Hehe, looks like I got me a little money maker here... Too bad all the parts have to be bought retail in a differen product, wasting a LOT of money on cooling ribs with very big empty holes for hard drives. The fans are expensive...

My GPU fan runs at full speed and produces way less airflow than the CPU fan while the air coming from it is blistering hot. This seems to be te wrong way around and I wanna fix it! So, I'm planing on getting me an extra GPU fan...

What noises?? a 12v fan running at 5v is as silent as a mouse. If you use your lappy the internal fans would make more noise.

Also keep in mind that the bigger the fan the more of a startup kick it requires. Too big and 5v might not start it turning. It's probably best to take those extra thin hard drive cooler fans like I did, their weight is obviously less...

The schematic looks just right and what a nice USB connector have you drawn The material I used was Lexaan, but I'm not sure what the English name for that is. Lexan maybe.

Thanks nightanole for coming to the rescue in the 'Save Jettics' lappy'-a-thon It MUST be clear now.. must'nt it? Oh well, if you do see smoke, take pictures!

Try Radio Shack. Explain your problem to them, they will help.

Like I said, I just bunched up all the red wires into one of these and connected it to the + area in the USB connector, ask an electrician if you don't know how. Do the same for the black wires. As far as linking stuff...

Quote: So whould it be possible to connect the yellow cable (i beleave the data cable) of the fan to the data cable of the USB? Well, no. If you have a rotational signal coming from the fans then you will lose that,...

If this still confuses you you might want to think about it some ore before you blow up your expensive lappy. A basic understanding of electricity is recommended. I showed you the link that tells which spot in the USB connector...
