i need a good 6 channel fan controller

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
i almost bought this a couple of weeks ago. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998096
i wish i had now its discontinued. So i don't know what to do. I cant find any 6 channel fan controllers that look as cool as that nor that support 6 fans. I want something that has a good amount of speed variation. This 6 fans are on my rad. They are very loud(yante loon 140cfm) It doesn't bother me when gaming but i have to crack to volume when watching movies with the ole lady. The controller will be out side the case because my rad is just that. If it matters my fans are 8 watts each. I kind of want something with a black finish but will settle on something different. Thanks for any help.

This one looks pretty nice. I have no personal experience with it though.

I love the sunbeam rheosmart. It has PWM control. Only problem is the build quality if you're constantly going to be playing with it. I just tossed it into the other side of my caselabs M8 and set it to PWM mode and love it.

I can second this. Its a great fan controller. A bit fiddly to get all the fans working on PWM setting but is well worth it.

Before you buy that one, have a look at the kaze master pro:

I have a couple pics with it.

I use the Lamptron FC-FC2-B but the Rheosmart 6 would be good too.

If you buy the rheostat 6 make sure you keep a fire extinguisher near. thumb.gif
