              I bought some 2 pin sunon fans.
              at 500 i had the same result as you.
              at 25000 they are somewhat adjustable.

                @Veti what model are you using? Meanwhile I got it working. I connected them on the toolboard to out 2 and out1, used pwm 255 and connected to pwm out and 12v.
                The control is for me good enough at the moment, I would guess that I'm getting ~10% steps.

                What range did you get with 25000?

                Thats the one I'm using:

                  i was able to go down to 10% with the fan still spinning.

                    @Veti I tested with 25000 as value.

                    My Fans don't even start to spin.
                    Only at 100%, they start running

                    but at 99 it's standing still... why these big differences from similar Fans?

                      some fans do no like the pwm signal.

                        You can try adding B1 to give it a blip of full power for 1 second to overcome any starting resistance.
