Likewise, I have also run into the same issue. The only thing I could find searching for it in the discord channel was https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/937654723727745046/1300965554495946772

But I guess I could get something with more Amps should I then wish to add for instance a 12v chamber heater fan?

Issues with IDEX 4028 part cooling fans quickly changing speeds
Could I ask one more question..... Is the wattage of a PSU or converter important? The more amperage the higher the wattage.... Didn't know if one was more important than another?

Hi, thank you so much for this. Wrongly, I presumed that the MAX EZ was an upgraded version of the Pro so could handle running X number of fans etc. I have a 12v PSU that I will hook up to one fan as its only 1.3a but even that is going to be at the max according to the calculations, so I may have to invest in a higher amperage PSU or multiple step down converters.

So how do you suggest that they should be wired up? If this is the case regarding the amperage then why are others not experiencing the same issues? Sure with IDEX and both 4028 fans spinning up all IDEX users will be running into a similar situation?
Could you please explain what you mean by a step down converter? Is that what they also call a BUCK converter?

Issues with IDEX 4028 part cooling fans quickly changing speeds
I'm going to try and wire the fans up to a 12v PSU tomorrow.... But I shouldn't be needing to as the MAX should be able to cope with the 12v fans. The PWM has always been on the toolboard. It was only take off for testing purposes. I tried wiring the fans back to the 4 pin fan ports on the MAX back that made no difference.... Still experiencing the same issue when suddenly increasing or decreasing the speed of one of the fans while the other is running.....

Hi, if I'm connecting both the positive and negative to the PSU it obviously won't use any enable pin so should run at full power until Klipper boots??

Yes this is powered through the octopus Max board, just the pwm wire on the toolboard. I've tried rewiring the fans up as 4 pin fans going back directly to the MAX board but i have the same issue. seems like they aren't receiving enough juice or is being throttled back. I will try re wiring a 12v psu tomorrow and report back

Issues with IDEX 4028 part cooling fans quickly changing speeds
Ok, so when I disconnected the PWM pin from the toolboards and started the printer the FAN didn't start spinning at 100%, they didn't spin at all. I then increased the fan speed on t0 to 1% and the fan started spinning at full power. I then changed the fan speed of t0 to 0% and the fan stopped. I then repeated this on t1 and the same happened. I then set t0 to 1% (full power) and did the same with t1 and both fans instantly turned off!!!!
