Fan Controllers

[Homer13]

I'm looking to install a fan controller guys and must admit I'm not entirely sure what is involved.

I have found this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-007-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=189

looks pretty good i think lol.

What kind of connections will it require? I know all my fans are connected via molex and have their own tri-switches on them. I'm assuming I will have to do a small bit of re-wiring?

I have that very same 1...but brushed ally to match my case.....i never found i needed 1 with my antec 900, you would have to fit the little white 3 pin fan headers m8. you get extension leads with the kit so no need to lenghten any.

[Homer13]

do the 3 pin fan headers come with the unit? or are they in my antec spares box?

I know i may not need one but i think i might find the temp gauge handy.

and then if i find it is a bit warm, i can turn the fans up without going onto full rpm

I'd go with a mCubed T-Balancer

[Ya Mother]

Hmm dunno if you have any......they look like this...http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgur...&ct=image&cd=1

[Homer13]

ok llyod, that thing confuses me and looks exspensive

[Lloyd_mcse]

they're superb, u can add loads of other parts to it like flow meter, plus u get digital temp sensors to get REAL temps And the best thing is u can tell it what fan speed for whatever temps u want

[Homer13]

lol but is it worth it for a rig that is purely air cooled and not overclocked???

plus, until i know whats happening with work i cant afford too much.

might hold off a bit til i know whats happening and what i can afford

[Ya Mother]

Im selling my scythe kazemaster ace...brand new in the box never even been opened. paid £40....... oc uk will cost....£41.69
£37 delivered....let me know if your interested as im gonna put it on chilled for sale site.

[Homer13]

im interested mate but how long can you wait?

not sure i can afford it for a couple weeks but i will have a look.

will try and give you a def answer by end of the week

also what colour is it?

[Ya Mother]

Let me know asap m8 and its black of course. I need 1 that controls 5 sets of fans. got 12 fans now and gonna struggle to work them all off the scythe.

[Homer13]

kk mate, should know by fri is that ok?

with your fans, could you not chain them in groups of 3? As long as they are all in parallel then there is no major power drop if any.

that way you could control them on the kaze but i guess if you need to control others independently from each other then that isnt an option though xD

[Ya Mother]

yeah fridays ok m8.....ive already chained 1x3 and 3x2 and need to do another 1x2 and also have a single fan but gonna leave it on full as its a coolermaster and its dead quiet.

[Homer13]

how do you have the space for all this stuff in the case? it must be huge

[Ya Mother]

Its massive.....
