SaFrOuT Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 i bought 4 fans ( see their details @ the end of this post ) and i want to buy a cheap controller for them so i found this one http://www.svc.com/ald-v01-u1-19.html which i think it is very very nice when talking about the price but i wonder if anyon e is using it , is it good enough to power those fans or not ?? or should i pay more and get this one http://www.svc.com/pct-fancon-blk.html or this http://www.svc.com/vannexfancon.html i know the vantec is the best but if the coolermaster will do just finethen i prefer it So i just need to know if this coolermaster controller willbe able to handle and do just fine with those 4 fans ( specs listed below ) or not ? here are the fan's specs Crystal Clear LED Fan 120mm Blue [ACE-120-B] Specs: Dimension: 120 x 120 x 25mm Airflow: 85.6 CFM Noise: 40 dB(A) ± 10% Bearing type: 2x Ball Bearing Bearing Brand: NMB Bearings Voltage: 12 Volt Current: 0.45A Static Pressure: 0.16 inch-H20 Lightning: 4 x Blue LED's Basecolor: Crystal Clear Rotorcolor: Crystal Clear Connector: Fan Connector 3 Pin / Black Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 i bought about 5 of these...the only bad thing is you cannot turn the controller knobs all the way off, just low the Sunbeam controller is my favorite, i have 3 of them, and you can turn the knobs completely off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaFrOuT Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 thanks very much A_G for the info i think for only 5$ i can handle this controller without turning off option, running the 4 120 fan @ 5v will be fine for me thanks again EDIT: but will those fans run @ volt less than 12v or not ? how can i check if they will ? since they only got 3-pin connector Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaFrOuT Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 does this controller decrease the voltage to 5v or only 7v ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal50 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 My Nexus controller is the same. You can turn the speed down but not completely off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaFrOuT Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 i think i will pay some more and get this one SUNBEAM RHEOBUS ==> http://svc.com/bus-54-bk-24.html from the reviews it is the best out there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 i think i will pay some more and get this one SUNBEAM RHEOBUS ==> http://svc.com/bus-54-bk-24.html from the reviews it is the best out there ya man thats the one i like the best...i have the supa watercooled setup with one of these, and my waterpump is on channel 1, and 120mm fans on 2 more channels, and 2x80mm LED fans on the 4th channel. Very nice little fan controller...when i bought from SVC, they were only $12.99 and $14.99, but then I went to buy some more again and holy crap they were like $24.99, but now it seems they are creeping back down in price i dont think you will be disappointed in the quality of the controller Saf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 I've got 2 of the Sunbeam units that have been rock solid for a couple of years. The only complaint most people have is that the LED's are MEGA bright! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
