Rosewill RCX-Z200 fan voltage
« on: May 04, 2018, 03:41:43 pm »
I have a project needing a good amount of cooling/heating.  A small environmental chamber for determining the temperature characteristics of various types of components (voltage reference diodes & ICs, resistors, capacitors, etc.).  I have an idea for a couple of Peltier modules that can be controlled to heat or cool the chamber to specific temperatures (and accurately measured).  I have a friend who has a couple unused Rosewill RCX-Z200 CPU coolers that look up to the task.

I haven't been able to find any documentation that specifies the fan voltage for that module.  Can someone help with that bit of info? 

Thanks!!

most CPU coolers use 12volts

Thanks for that.  I suspected that would be the case, but not sure.  Was hoping it would be a 5V fan, since I already have a 5V source for my project, but a small 12V source won't add a lot to the size of the PCB.

Thanks!!!
