Fan Controler 70w is there one?

Danfoss2011 · 29 Mar 2011 at 19:21

Have 8 of these beasts. 12v 0.70A is what they say! From what i've worked out thats 8.4W (watts).

Ether working the 0.70a out again for 8 the totaly power draw of all 8 running is 67.2W (watts).

I need some way to control them, 50+ DBA aint cool where as 103CFM+ is way cool.

Idealy i'd like something I can have on the desk, if watching a movie, odd bit of browsing or overnight running I can set them low, if benching or gaming can wack them up!

Clearly i'll need to make up some cables to extened it all, no problem there.

Issues is there a fan controler out there can do this or am I going to have to make something! 4CH is not a problem as i can use 2 or idealy an 8CH. I'd make a nice mount/stand for it!

Not wanting to run anything off the mobo headers at all. Want a totaly stand alone system

Lamptron FC2 has 6 channels at 45W each. Thats the one I have. I think they have an 8 channel version. Have a look on their website.

They also have the ability to turn the fan completely off which is handy.

edit: ocuk stock some

Are you in the UK? If so can you trust me the place you got it. Knowhere in the UK has stock that I can find. Ace has been trying to source then since the 9th too.

Danfoss2011 · 31 Mar 2011 at 15:58

John24 · 1 Apr 2011 at 17:42

Well I don't want to put you out. Would like to finally get my hands on one though.

How are you finding it btw? Is the mechanism to change the led colours easy to use?
