Will this fan work on a XFX Nvidia Geforce 9800GT? Does this fan have speed control?

I had the GeForce 9500GT and all the holes lined up but the plug was different. I had to cut the wire and use the plug from my old fan, then it worked perfectly.

Well No speed control. i think it works with the 9800 but you need to measure the stock fan and make sure there the same size diameter etc. i it does a great job this has one extra blade then the stock one resulting in more air flow.

You need still need to buy another power connector to make the connection. As for the fan having speed control it does not for that model.

According to this page: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-9800gt/specifications , they say you need a 400W PSU. However, it doesn't mean it won't work. If it's a higher quality PSU and there's not a lot else plugged into it, it will probably work fine (375 is quite close, and the 400 number is a rough estimate). I can't promise anything though. It works great with my 430W Corsair PSU though.

I don't think it was designed like a laptop where there is no fan speed at all until the processor reaches a certain temperature. Mine runs all the time as well, but quiet with no load, louder with a load. The fan speed change is immediate too which shows to me it is load driven, not temperature driven.

If the controller regulates the power output to control fan speed, then yes. There is no transformer on this fan, the power level supplied determines airflow.

There's a fan controller next to the USB 3.0 ports on top of the tower, but it only toggles them on and off and can't control their speed. I bought an NZXT Sentinel fan controller because I overclock and I love the thing.

This is a dual fan style cooler. The fans blow air out the edges unlike the single direction reference card. This xfx card is considerably quieter than the reference design, also.

The fan for the ATI X 1650 Pro seemingly has a very different format than the fan in question. There seems to be one web page that is selling them and this is the link: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/The-original-RADEON-X1650-PRO-DDR2-graphics-card-cooling-fan-ATI/1524552790.html for around $21, however Amazon will sell you a used graphics card for $34. Here is the link:

I installed a GTX760 in mine. Wiring was a little tricky and it wasnt exactly a blower type fan, but it has been working well.

Yes. The fan's speed will not be controlled by the onboard controller, rather the selection made on the switch. I would imagine the function is limited to the fan's controller b/c should the mobo controller drop the speed, while low/silent is selected, the fan may not receive enough juice to turn. If you're using several fans this is nice b/c even on molex the fans will be functioning at similar speeds w/o purchasing a controller, flipping the 5volt to 3volt or howling at higher rpm's.

NO. I have tried both brush-style and brushless compatible speed controllers with this fan and neither work.

You know Steve- the manufacturer's website answers your questions :) but here you go. "Q: What fans can I use a fan speed controller with? A: Our fan speed controller (ACSC) will work with brushless motors, such as the ones commonly used with inline centrifugal fans. Do not use with blowers, booster fans, etc." Quiet operation Durable ceramic-coated Metal housing UL-recognized components High quality molded impeller Thermally-protected AC motor Includes mounting brackets and 8 foot pre-wired 120V cord Thermally protected A/C motor :) I have 3 - these things are worth every penny - they are loud if not attached to any duct or filter.

The fan does NOT have a speed control though I believe they sell one (separately) now, however it is butt ugly so depending on where you place it that may or may not work for you. I tried several variable speed switches that are for ceiling fans but none of them worked; it was either on full speed or off.

Works very well with speed control. Have used one with my same fan for over a year now.

It depends on your build. For example my GPU The Nvidia Geforce 9800GT is a power hog, but I use it very frequently. The card is working fine on the PSU and my card runs stable at about 100 watts. Check the manufacturing recommendation for the card and see how many watts is recommended for the card. Then do some math add up the number of watts all of your components are using if you are within 20 watts I would suggest to go for another power supply. Also if you have an overclocked graphics card or if you plan to overclock with a third party program be careful as this power supply does not like stress. This power supply has also shorted out once but after I cleared the capacitors it was ok. In conclusion I do not see any reason you couldn't use this psu temporarily for a gaming machine as long as you have enough power for your system.

Absolutely, it even comes with a crossfire cable. It's a great card for the price, and performs well if your looking to upgrade an older machine. It does however have some issues with overheating. So be sure to download a program like MSI Afterburner which allows for manual adjustment of fan speeds. Hope this was helpful to you!

I am actually looking for a replacement fan for the exact same gpu. I found one on this Chinese site (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-12V-0-5AMP-Server-Cooling-Fan-For-FirstD-FD8015U12S-Server-Square-Fan-2-wire-80x80x25mmfree/822654237.html) but I'd much rather buy one on amazon :(

Why do people (like the ones below) bother to answer when they don't even understand the question?Anywho, while Ventech doesn't specifically say so on their website I'm fairly positive this is a brushed motor. The reason why is because they also sell a variable speed controller to be used with the fans and it states "This router speed controller works with any universal AC/DC brush-type motor". Since they don't sell any other speed controllers, and due to the price of the fan, I doubt it's brushless.
