looking to get a fan controller, I've already got the scythe kama but unfortunately I can't use it in my fractal because of the front cover. So I'm looking into something touch screen
This^ I currently use it in my system.Originally Posted by mwl5apv;13037444
the nzxt sentry 2 is a good controller. touchscreen, 5 fans, temp probes, etc.
I personally used it myself and liked it alot.
Only issue I had was that it made my fans make a weird grinding/clicking type noise. This was a known issue with my fans though(cooler master R4 120mm)
Your should be perfectly fine though.
Those are PWM. Did you buy them yet?Originally Posted by phaseshift;13037397
5 fans...don't really know much about how much power etc...going to be using 5x 120mm Noiseblockers XLP
Oh I just ment I like the dials ,, just my opinion/taste. I probably shouldnt have said anything.Originally Posted by Gunderman456;13037472
NZXT fan controlers are touch screen. Been using mine for over a year with no problems.
No I haven't but I'll prob get the non pwm since I'm getting a fc. Btw do I need a molex connector for the nzxt? I don't have any molex on my psuOriginally Posted by gymenii;13037519

If you're budgeted, the NZXT Sentry2 is the way to go. 5 channels, 10w per channel and should be able to run all your fans (but limited to run more than 1 fan per channel).Originally Posted by phaseshift;13037773

hmm I might just go with the lamptron it looks slick and performs well...either that or an aquatuning but that one is most expensive lolOriginally Posted by gymenii;13038366

If you want higher quality and don't mind spending a few more bucks, get the Lamptron Touch. 6 channels, 30w per channel and will easily run 2 or more fans per channel, and if you get higher power fans later on you won't have to worry about replacing the fan controller.

Surely all newer PSUs have molex connectors. If you don't have one available, you'll need to get a 4-pin molex y-splitter if thats what you meant.
