Swiftech 8-Way PWM splitter mod?

[enRodjavel]

 

SO I got this Swiftech 8-Way PWM splitter with my Swiftech H220 and was wondering if I could solder a Resistor to the +12v (yellow) wire as You do with +12v->+5v adaptors so the Splitter just use +5v? cause I dont have any PWM-Fans in my Build, I "only" have 7 GT AP-15s and just 2 +5v Adaptors.

 

So basicaly I'm asking if it would work as a 8way +5v Splitter. I dont care about the PWM-funtion 

 

Been 10years since I did something like this in my Job so rusty as hell on the mathematics behind Ohm's Law

 

My Idea =

You should be able to as long as you solder it into the molex connector.

You can either use a resistor or you could just move the cables within the molex connector to get 5 or 7v ->

Not a good idea. That feeds current back to the PSU which can either cause damage be or detected as a short if it is within a certain threshold.

Should work, or you can change the 12v pin to the 5v pin, (Swap the 2) what ever you want.

A as I thought =D, thx Guys for the fast Replys. Then Im off to make a DIY-8-way-Fan splitter =D

Only a problem when using 7V, and even then fans don't draw enough current for that to have an effect, but yes higher wattage devices shouldn't be run off that 7V.

Just be sure you get a resistor that can handle the current multiplied by 8, since a too small of a resistor would be a fire hazard.
