#3486921 - 01/03/12 02:39 PM How To Turn Off USB Hub When Monitor Shuts Off?
Wrecking Crew Smooth Operator Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 1649 Loc: Colorado	I want to plug two USB connected fans to a USB hub that will shut off when the monitor sleeps. Any one do something like this? I don't need the fans to run when the monitor is not. The Dell 30" monitor has two USB ports, one of which is for the Track IR. The USB Hub with the two fans on it can go into the other USB monitor port or to the computer... The monitor sleep mode is controlled through the Win 7 Power Options.

Works better than sleep mode too. _________________________ •XBL/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite •Logitech G27 Nixim •360 Wheel •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo •X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro/Logitech Z-5500 •Win 7 64

Wrecking Crew Smooth Operator Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 1649 Loc: Colorado	Its the monitor that I want to cool. These little USB fans are a lot quieter than an AC powered one I had been using. I'm not really putting the whole computer to sleep - just shutting off the monitor after some idle time. Once the monitor is shut down then the fans don't need to run anymore. Too bad the USB ports on the monitor won't power down when the monitor does... Thanks guys, WC _________________________ Model: Home Built in Cooler Master Storm Scout CPU: Intel i7 950 Motherboard: EVGA X-58 Crossfire SLI Power: Antec TPQ-1200 1200W Continuous Power Memory: 12 GB OS: Windows 7 64bit Video: EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 30" Audio: Creative Labs X-Fi + Logitech Z-5500 / SteelSeries 7H USB Internet Connection: Century Link DSL 1.5 Down 896 Up

SkateZilla Skate Zilla HD Studios Hotshot Registered: 11/24/04 Posts: 8120 Loc: Virginia Beach, VA	I'd just leave them go, and have the USB Ports set to Power Down 10-15 minutes of no System Activity. That way your screen is off, fans will run for 10-15 minutes to cool it down before shutting off. _________________________ Skate Zilla Chevron 11 (Born Feb. 2012) Cooler Master HAF 922(Mesh Side), 700W OCZ, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Beta ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Pro, Corsair H100 Water Cooled AMD FX-8120@4.0 GHz, 16GB G.SKILL Sniper @ DDR1600, WD 1.5TB Black Sapphire RadeonHD 7950@1.0 GHz Core/6GHz Mem., ASUS VS248H-P 24" LED x 3, 5760 x 1080 Eyefinity, Creative XFi Fata1ity Platinum Champion, Intensity Pro 10-Bit HDMI Video Recording, Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCIe Skate Zilla HD Studios On Facebook

You could build one up or get a kit like this: http://www.coolerguys.com/840556082224.html Sounds to me that your monitor is just set to shut off after xx minutes, not involving sleep mode. _________________________ •XBL/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite •Logitech G27 Nixim •360 Wheel •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo •X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro/Logitech Z-5500 •Win 7 64

MasterTec Member Registered: 06/20/11 Posts: 108	My dad just bought a 10 port powered USB hub that had two power switches on it. One controlled the first five ports and the other controlled the second five ports. Maybe something like that would work for you.

Wrecking Crew Smooth Operator Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 1649 Loc: Colorado	Hmmm, if we keep talking about it in the post then a banner ad should pop up at the bottom of the page. Not that that is not a bad thing. Here's what I found in Win 7, it lets me set USBs to Enabled or Disabled. Haven't found a way to get to a specific USB hub....... hmmm Device Mangler..... hmmm Nope - this is what Device Manager shows - Don't really want to put the computer to sleep or hibernate, just want to shut off the monitor and fans...

You could put the monitor and the hubs on a power-strip and turn the strip off and on instead of the individual devices. _________________________ Shoot to Kill. Play to Have Fun.
