Scythe Kaze Master Server Problem with 23 cms fans

[BobaFett]

Hello,

I've just bought a Scythe Kaze Master Server (5.25 ") and there is a problem with my case's 23 cm fans (I own a Cooler Master ATCS 840 case).

Most of the times the Kaze Mater is not able to spin up my 23 cms fans and i must reset the Kaze Master to do so...

Is there a solution or it's an hardware limitation (I tried to boot in manual mode with full speed set for my fans but the problem is the same) ?

Regards

Hi,

i have the same case in private, so i can say that this is a problem of the fans. they only spin up with 12V, i can slow down them to 600rpm, but sometimes they stop working. then you have to spin the fans with your fingers. So my tip: us it in MAN and at full speed. thats or try to find a better/higher treshold point.

Thank you for your answer.

The problem is that even at full speed in manual mode sometimes they didn't start...
I think i'm going to plug my 23 cm fans on the motherboard and use the integrated fan management. I will only plug my others 12cms fans on the Scythe Kaze master.

thats the way i use my last one in the front of the case.

I tried without the front fan, same problem, sometimes one of the two others 23 cms fans does'nt start...

However i'm in manual mode with full speed...

I think my last solution is to plug only 12cm fans on the scythe, too bad

sorry, your right. But i can say that this is based on the CM Fans.

I have same case with Kaze Server controller and my 230mm fans runs always properly (in SEMI-mode and keep them running 360-510rpm when temp is below of pre-set).

So for me it sounds more liek a fan issue.

What number you have top of the fans (next to the CE-mark)?

I have two pieces 8X161A and one 8X151A. And i know there is also 8Y131A (and maybe some other "versions").

I noticed that 8X151A need more voltage to start to spin. And that fan also make little louder noise than 8X161A fans.

The two upper fans are 8Y101A
The front one is a 8Y121A

But since I've plug the front one on the MB the two upper fans start more often than before.
