Magic smoke:

Post by MarkuzLS1 »

I have a I had a MX233 LCD display that I was coding up my own controller for. It did CPU monitoring and displayed it on the screen and all sorts of fun stuff. Since it had the fan controller stuff, it was easy enough to manipulate the fan speeds through software. I decided to code up a controller that would adjust the fans based on CPU usage. For my first test of the command, I decided to stop all three fans (two scythe s-flexes and whatever came stock in the front of a Lian-Li PC-G50). I hit the go-button on my little dialog box and the fans cut off. Then I heard, what I believe to be the front fan, making a "bew-bew-bew" noise. Then the display blinked out and I smelled the distinct smell of magic smoke.

Are you not supposed to turn off the fans? Did I have a faulty display? Faulty fan?
