Need help with Tacens Fan!!
Prologue:
I bought a Tacens Ventus Pro Ice (12cm) fan recently.(http://tacens.com/ventusproice_2.htm)
After I had installed my fan controller, I wanted to detach the 'fan controller' delivered with it.
The fancontroller on the fan was attached to the fan with a double copper wire. I asked a friend how to detach it, and he told me to cut the cable going from the fan to that little fan controller.
After I cut it, I rebooted my computer, and the fan still got power, but it wont do any rpm, the highest I got it to was 300 rpm for about 2secs...
The question: Does anyone know how to make the Tacens Ventus Pro Ice work without the attached fan controller?
Greetings

the fan controller is a variable resister ie low resistance causes the fan to speed up high resistance causes it to slow down
replace the variable resister with a standard non variable resister to set it at a constant speed

Ok, thanks, but is there I way ill be able to control it again with a fan controller if I replace the resistor?

if you replace the resister you can control it using a standard controller, and if you are careful and save the old resister you can always re solder it back on at some point if you need to.
i suggest measuring the resistance of the resister with it set to full speed and replacing it with something of the same resistance

Sorry, but how can I measure resistance?
btw,Thanks for the great help so far!

I would need 30 Ohm resistance if 12V and 0.4 ampere wouldn't I?

Thanks, already calculated with box-indicated max voltages.
Any possibility that I could find a resistor with 30-34.5 Ohm? (variable)
