hey guys. im not really sure if this is the appropriate place to post this but oh well. do u know of any good fan controller's that will control at 5 or 6 fans? my Sycthe Kaze's are soo loud and i wanna be able to turn them down when i dont need the extra cooling so a fan contoller would help alot. this is the one i've been looking at but not really sure if its any good or not.....

There's nothing to say, it's just a bunch of potentiometers slapped onto a PCB. It'll work out of the box unless you get a defective unit. That's it. If it was one of those fancy units with LCD panels and temp probes then there'd be something to say since they've got a ton more features and many of the ones out there aren't really of the best quality.

I'm pretty sure it's a Linear Regulation design (voltage regulator, potentiometer, another resistor, two capacitors, per channel)... the 7W per channel means, for me at least, I could only use one fan per channel

I was greatly over-simplifying it, hardnrg. Sometimes you're just too smart. laugh.gif
