I successfully shorted the pin on the back to get the supply to turn and supply 12 volts but wanted to increase to 13 volts.
I found another post here on the forum with some details but then the poster abandoned.
Here is what I have.

IBM X3650M4 550W power supply converted to 13.8V and fan converted
Changing the voltage of this power supply is simple, but changing the fan is troublesome and requires manual skills. The fan has speed monitoring, but if the speed is not reached, it will be protected. If you want to change the silent fan, you need to use a pulse generator to trick the detection circuit
The water quality of the text is poor, please look directly at the picture:
1. Start
2. Change the voltage, change vr201 to 10K adjustable, remove the resistance connected to the right lower pin of vr201 and short connec
3. Buy a well-built magnetic levitation fan, 2 wires are enough, buy a ne555 pulse generator, the original fan has 4 wires, the red and black wires are connected to the fan, the yellow wire is connected to the output of the pulse generator, the blue wire is not used, the world is quiet
After the finished product is revised, I am laughing and want to smash M coins:lol::lol::lol:
In addition, as a friendly reminder, please discharge fully when disassembling the machine and replacing the fan, and be careful of high-voltage clicks

I removed the resistor and shorted now the supply won’t fully power on. The warning light just comes on. Adding the potentiometer doesn’t help.
Any suggestions for what else to try?
