Go to solution Solved by Fasauceome,

yeah usually it's fine, but it can be annoying to plug into a fan header that has no pre-defined fan curve so keep that in mind, and in general it's a good idea to turn the PC off anyway cause you don't want to bump your hands into PC components that are operating (typically other spinning fan blades)

I did it, and nothing bad happened.

The fan turned on, I closed and reopened FanControl, it was detected, and I set it to max (since it's super quiet).

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

There are risks ofc. Mainly harming yourself on fan blades. And in less likely event you kocking at something and causing OS to crash.

Thank you, but I'm pretty good at not cutting my hands off. I've been working with fans for a while.

Also, nothing exploded when I plugged in the fan.
