3 or more fans controlled by one fan controller input?

[Jed Shields]

Hi guys,

I'm looking a Scythe Master 4 fan controller and was hoping to control all 3 fans of a 360 radiator with just one knob. I've found a double split fan power cable but can't find a triple.

1. Is this available?
2. Is this advisable, or should I have no more than 2 per knob?

I've got a Corsair 800D that will have 3 fans for WC radiator and another 3 case fans.

Alternatively, I guess I could go for 2x Fan controllers giving 8 in total as I have plenty of free 5 1/4 bays ...

From what info I can find on your fan controller, it supports up to 12W per channel. You'll have to look at your fans to determine how much power they need etc. but that should give you a good idea of how many fans you can have on each channel. It would probably be better to leave a little headroom as well since I'm pretty sure motors in general need more power to start them up than they do to maintain a constant speed.
