ok, it started of with me being bored and wanted to make something...so i decided to get an old cpu fan and put led lights on it. It was all fine and i double check it all for touching wires and stuff like that. When i hooked it up in my computer it worked, but when i went to tuck all the wires away, i heard a small "pop" and then the fan started spinning at full speed .i didnt do anything unusual to the fan except that the wires for the plug broke, so i figured no big deal, ill just solder them back together and wrap it with electrical tape.

I tried the other cpu fan hoping that it would work but that one spun up at full speed too......i tried changing the speed in the program speedfan but it didnt work, so now im stuck with a really loud fan. Could the problem be that possibly one of the plug wires touched and shorted something on the motherboard or would it be something else? i reallly dont want to have to buy a new motherboard......Any help would be great. Thanks

I don't really, know, could you try the fan on another computer and see if it does the same thing... Also, try another fan on your motherboard.

Yeah, like you said, take a look and see if can see anything strange...

man you must have an absolutely pitifully boring day. you can buy a fan with led's already on it really cheap. as far as the problem you're having, i have no clue. sorry
