Hey guys,

I'm new to OCN, but i've been lurking the forums for a while and i've finally just completed my first build (it was a ton of fun

)

Anyway I find my Ap-15 are surprisingly loud and I was thinking of getting a fan controller to slow them down a bit, but I'm not sure which ones would fit well with the brushed aluminum on my 800D.
Any suggestions?

I was looking at these:
Kaze Master
Kaze Q
NZXT Sentry 2
Kaze Master ace
Lamptron FC5V2

Also my Ap-15s are plunged into my H100, and changing the "fan profile" does not seem to affect the noise they output?

Thanks for the help

here's an external fan controller
first i've seen
looks pretty cool, doesn't waste any bay's or if u don't got any to spare, not cheap though

if u have the bays to waste/spare (like the 800D) I personally like this one

Wow that is cool!

my main goal is to keep the sleek look of the 800D intact. To that end I am also going to do a stealth mod on my optical drives so an external fan controller is quite appealing to me.

The sentry LX doesn't look bad at all, but how does it look with the 800D's front panel?

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help

it should match fine
black finish
the white fonts match the 800D's white leds
not sure if its a good idea to stealth a digital readout fan controller, defeats the purpose of having one
especially as one as good looking as this

No, I only plan on stealthing the optical drives (2 dvd drives). A stealth mod on a fan controller certainly would defeat the purpose.

And when I say matched, I mean I am looking for something with a brushed aluminum finish (I'm quite picky lol) Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

The Sentry LXE actually has a brushed Aluminum finish and is actually external. Even though it's expensive I may get it.

If you liked the Scythe line, you could try This one. I have it on my 800D. While it isn't as stealthy as an external controller, it looks clean and can control 6 fans with a decent wattage rating. Maybe you'll be able to make it out in my avatar.
