But I can measure only 5V.... The meter is digital. The ADC has a high sample rate and integrates piecemeal. Or I could be wrong about your meter. However, you are right about needing to do more research. A cheap way to measure peak voltage is to charge a capacitor in series with a diode. It will reach peak voltage but not discharge. Then you (might) be able to measure it with your meter. > No I think there might be more secrets behind 4-pin fans than I know... > maybe these fans use TTL logic type voltages to influence electronic > communtation internally..... > We might need to reseearch in the internet her David
