Is there currently a fan controller on the market that can control cpu, gpu and case fans?

Me and my dad saw the NZXT sentry LX on the new display HAF 922 at the local computer store and he thought it was excellent and he said that he might think about getting me one. But if I got a fan controller I would want to control the gpu and cpu fans too because they are the loudest so are there any fan controllers that fan or are there any adapters to enable the NZXT one too?

Your CPU fan probably uses either a 3pin or a 4pin power cable.

Most newer cases have 3 pin fans.

Your GPU probably uses a proprietary connector so you wouldn't be able to use a fan controller to control it.

For the CPU fan.

If it's a 4 pin fan you can probably plug it into the CPU plug on the motherboard and control the fan speed from in the BIOS.

If it's a 3 Pin fan you will need to use the Fan controller to control its speed.

For the Case fans you can use the same fan controller.

For your GPU you can use ATI Tray Tools or another GPU control application like Riva Tuner. Most of them have a slider bar for the fan speed.

I'll read this review and see if it has any info. Looks like the controller has 5 channels plus 5 temperature sensors. Looks like all the channels have both molex and 3 pin inputs so you can control any fan for the most part. The temp sensors will not be extremely accurate but can give you a vague Idea of the temperature of certain parts of the case.

I have used a few different fan controllers. I have a Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme currently and before that I had the 4 channel version from Sunbeam. Both are decent controllers with decent wattage per channel. Make sure the controller you pick has enough wattage per channel to handle the fans you're using.

yeah you most likely wont be able to control your gpu fan on a controller without son serious mods.

most cards now come with overclocking software that you can control the fan speed
