I have no issue really with my T300 since it stays unplugged when not in use. Take care to chose a model that has a low-enough starter-speed (which is often omitted in the specs).Īnother is to connect a variable resistor in-line with the fan you use as replacement to further fine-tune the voltage-output.Ī lot of effort for essentially "silencing" a device that you really only use while sim-driving. ![]() so replacing the fan (which means voiding your warranty) with a closely matched (in power-draw) model of more apropriate voltage- and speed-range is an option. The built-in fan-controller is naturally matched in it's voltage output-range to the fan that comes stock. Needs a lot of rpm to move not that much air. Problem number 1: fan is shallow and of a small diameter. The wheel is equipped with a fan-controller and thus it exhibits different running-speeds (and therefore noise-levels) with the stock fan.įans with two wires going into them are most-likely voltage-controlled as opposed to pulse-width-modulation which is used for most CPU-fans nowadays. But if i connect it somehow via 2pin into the wheel, it will only be either off or on full power. And most of the quiet fans are quiet because they don't run at full speed. Originally posted by Molda22:Even though there might be problem with all the good fans being 3pin and the wheel fan is 2pin. So i am not sure if its even worth the risk of doing it and loosing warranty And i heard that even the famous quiet fans are very loud on full speed. Even though there might be problem with all the good fans being 3pin and the wheel fan is 2pin. Maybe if i try it for a longer period it will somehow get more quiet as you said and the fan will get "calm" but i think the only real solution will be to replace the fan with some quiet yet still powerful enoug new fan. Originally posted by Simon said DIE ♥♥♥♥♥!: Probably the biggest omission of this particular wheel-model! Let us not forget these were originally intended and designed to appeal to 12 year-olds playing arcade-style racing-games on a games-consoles. ![]() Yes: I do believe the cooling-system of this wheel to be under-sized because of form-over-function (outward appearance and and other) considerations. That way the motor shall not overheat any longer thus not triggering the full voltage of the fan any further. The idea is that the forced fan (at a lower rpm) keeps the enclosed air inside your wheelbase stirred and guarantees at least some constant rate of heat-exchange with the atmosphere. See the Thrustmaster support-pages regarding instructions for your specific combination of wheel-base and wheel-rim. It is just one sequence of button-presses away from you and it will stay activated permanently if you decide to keep it on. I want to encourage you as well to try the forced fan-mode. Have you tried the forced fan mode yet? Though I'm not sure if the fan actually has variable rpms. ![]() Originally posted by Case:Well, spring and damper won't solve your loud fan issue. ![]() To have such expensive wheel with expensive additional pedals, and to be able to use it properly i have to almost "turn-off" the FFB.Ĭan somebody help me with that? And also recommend FFB settings for Dirt 4? THank you so much Only when you touch the kerb or go outside the track, you can slightly feel the FFB. You can only feel very slight vibrations but not FFB really. but if its 65 or lower, to FFB is so weak, that it feels like there is no FFB at all. So it looks like my problems with the very loud fan begin if i set the FFB strenght in control panel from 65-70 up. I tried another testing yesterday with Project Cars and Dirt 4 and i set the FFB in control panel to 60 and spring and damper to 0 as some suggested and after 40-50 minutes it was still ok. And i would make get over it, but i am making videos for my youtube community and i cannot record with such crazy loud wheel, because the mic will pick the noise and the sound is bad even after heavy editing. Even with racing with headset on, i hear the wheel more than the game. After few minutes of racing with FFB on 70 or higher or after like 30-40 minutes with FFB set to 60 or lower the fan goes crazy and is loud as jet plane (if it is the fan, which i think it is). Not the FFB or the wheel turning like with some other wheels but the fan. This wheel is probably good with right FFB setup, but it is extremely loud. I've been using my old Logitech MOMO wheel for a very long time and it died so i thought it really is time to get something new and better and after long though i decided to go with T300RS with T3PA-Pro pedals.
