Re: Morex external PSUs

This mod does sound easy and I will certainly consider it if my cpu
fan change isn't sufficient. However, a quick check of the
specification of the main connector doesn't help me to identify the
wire(s) that can be used. I cannot see anything that would relate to
fan control and I guess that the only +12v wire on pin 10 would
affect the supply to the mb. Can you help?

with psu's
