Akasa AK FC-03 questions.

[squiffy]

How many thermal probe leads are supplied with the FC-03?
Does the controller read CPU & motherboard temp from computer BIOS? Or only measured through the probes ? Ideally I would through the Bios (like the Asus Ipanel) plus through videocard drivers. That way can connect up CPU, videocard and my powerful exhaust fan to the FC-03.

Does the controller slow down and speed up the fans to your pre-determined level? Ie if CPU and mobo are under 30 degrees C in quiet mode, when it detects 35> for CPU, 45> for GFX spins the fans up.

I have the Asus ipanel from my old motherboard, will it fit into my new board?

Can the Akasa power 12cm fans? I've unplugged the Thermaltake and it's considerbly quieter and is now at a acceptable level. CPU idle temp has stayed basically stayed the same perhaps 1 degree hotter, mobo also probably 1 degree. 30/27. I can now hear the stock CPU fan at 2800rpm (before the Thermaltake drowned out CPU fan) CPU burn x2 has CPU 43 degrees. The Coolermaster fans are quiet and probably provide enough airflow. Or I could just replace the Thermaltake with a quieter fan. GPU core gone up to 37 degrees though.

According to Coolermaster the 12cm & 8cm fans are 22dB, but no mention of CFM.

yeah it can power 12cm fans and there are supposed to be 4 temp probes provided
