Exclamation Extreme Fan Controller -- 12 Fans
OK so Im building a new rig which is completely relying on Air for cooling , Case is a HAF 932 and theres going to be 12 fans in total which I need to be able to control their speeds. ( Intakes : Front , Bottom and four on the side panel , exhaust : one at the back and three on top + 2 CPU fans mounted on True Black ).I would probably need 2 , 6 fan controller like Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme model, to do this , its just that I dont really like the blue color and It doesnt go with my Red&Black theme of my case...

==>

Is there Any RED 6 fan controller out there in the market ? what are my options besides the Sunbeam model ? should I just get the blue version disconnect the LEDS or change them to Red ( if even possible !? )... what do you guys recommend ?

Have you considered the fact that you don't need 12 separate fan controls for 12 fans. You can have pairs or larger groups of them controlled with one knob. No point in 12 separate fan controls really (unless this is an e-peen thing).

You can link them together with adapters or just wiring them together.

You can probably have the 4 side fans be controlled by the same knob. The two on the TRUE can be on the same knob. The bottom and the front fans can go on the third knob. The three top fans can go on the 4th knob. the rear fan can go alone. You don't even need a 6 fan controller.

Yeah, just get some fan splitters or y cables. Much cheaper than buying a whole other (and unnecessary) fan controller.

Check the specs. They usually state how much juice each knob can handle.
