Sorry for the really slow reply. I have not tested SpeedFan on Windows since it is pointless that I don’t use Windows most of the time. I mainly use Linux and I have tried different methods of controlling the fan speed in Linux and it never works. I occasionally use macOS for productivity...

Since the fan itself is 5V 0.45A and the fan is only drawing 3.3V, I took 5V line from one of the SATA power pins and soldered it directly to Pin 1 (+) and Pin 4 (-). The fan now runs at full speed, exactly what I wanted and the CPU temp is 40-50 degree celcius during idle, which is quite...

Ok so i tested the fan and here is the result I cut the wire one by one to see if the fan spins or not cut Wire 1: No fan spin cut Wire 2: Fan spin cut Wire 3: Fan spin cut Wire 4: No fan spin cut Wire 2 and cut Wire 3: Fan spin So I think I can confirm wire (1) is VCC and wire (4) is Ground...

Yeah, the laptop surface is burning hot. I put a glass of water beside the fan and the water turns warm after 10-30 minutes.

I’m deciding whether or not to cut the data sync wires as an external fan isn’t enough to bring down the laptop’s temperature. This laptop frequently overheats and thermal paste such as Cooler Master doesn’t help either. I’ve cleaned the fan and temperature is still as high as 90-100 degree...

I took some measurements of the fan voltage (directly from the connector) and here are the results Pin 1 (+), Pin 2 (-): 3.6V Pin 1 (+), Pin 3 (-): 1.8V Pin 1 (+), Pin 4 (-): 3.6V From the image below: The first pin on the left side is blank and there are 2 wires (3 and 4) connected to the...

I have a Dell Latitude E6220 and the laptop fan has 4 pins. The wires aren't colored and are all black. I'm not sure which terminal is which and for some reason, there are 2 wires soldered to one terminal. The model number of the fan is Forcecon DFS400805L10T
