Ok, I want to put inline resistors in the cpu fan in Red Comet so a) it won't sound like a jet engine and b) I don't have to hook up the stupid zalman fanmate and have one more piece of hardware to sleeve and mount.
I've calculated that I need a 68 Ohm 1/2 watt resistor. Being that I don't have any 1/2 watt resistors laying around (mostly 1/4 and 1/, how can I hook them up in series to get the needed wattage and resistance?
For instance, I know that if I hook up two 68 ohm 1/4 watt resistors in series, the voltage drop will be the same, but I don't know how that effects the wattage?
