ok.....
so, when fans are run in parallel, as in the fanbus, each fan gets 12v. Since the PSU can supply alot of current on that rail, each fan still can run at its rated amperage. Right?
In series, the fans get the same amperage, but the voltage gets split up according to resistance?
When you run a resistor (rheostat) in series with a fan, you DO?!? drop the voltage going to the fan?
Since the PSU can put out as much current as needed, the only thing that would change in a fan ciruit is the voltage. Right?
