i just finished mounting a fan onto the stock heatsink on my gen 4.... and put both rear fans on exhaust.... anyone know the pin configuration on the rear fans so i can hook one up to the front for intake...? not having a temp sensor on it makes it rev up all the way... it sux.....it would be nuts if i could get that 2 work... 5 fans. in the case... i'll post pics eventually... i used insulated wire to secure the fan onto the side of the heatsink..... working well so far.... after switchin around the fans and adding the fan on the heatsink HD temp droped from 42 idle to 33 idle... video card drop was even better from 58-61 down to 48 on the gpu and from 48 on the chip down to 43... it's lovely and this is with all stock fans... the fan on the heatsink was a rear fan from an old old dell P2 866MHZ and thit hooked right up to a 3 pin adapter...oddly enough it seems that dell has gotten more proprietary over the years..... the fan i wanna use for the front is the rear fan from the 8400 I took my equip out of... it's nice so far.... i'm loving my XPS

Sounds like a nice cool rig with the temps posted. How is the sound? Like an Airport? My first mod sounded like LAX. My second mod cut the sound down without sacrificing CFM.

I could be wrong here but I think the wires are - 1 hot, 1 ground, 1 rpm, and 1 pcm. Google 4 wire DC fans & your not gonna find much out there.

would i be able to disconnect one of the wires so i can hook it up to the psu without it sounding like a jet? thats the key cuz then i'll have an active cooled heatsink with a buttload of airflow
