Resistors - Fan Cable Resistors And Voltage Reducers
A resistor converts 3-pin fans from 12 volts to a lower voltage. This basically means it reduces the speed of your 3-pin fans, which in turn reduces the
noise the fan makes. For instance our Zalman RC56, 56 OHM resistor will reduce fan speed as well as noise by approximately 40%.
Installation considerations
Fitting the resistor is very straight forward. Just plug the 3-pin fan into one end of the resistor and then the other end connects directly to your
motherboard.
