I want to quieten my new upgrade. Although most of the components are new i stuck with my, aging, but perfectly adequate Coolermaster Praetorian case - this incarnation:
I want to finally get round to replacing the 4 noisy fans that came with the above case plus add a fan-control unit so that i can make it really quiet when working/browsing.
I'm interested in the Akasa All-In-One 21 Function Panel as it looks a tidy panel, within budget, plus, it has built in card readers which would save some space on my desk. My only concern is that it has only 2 fan connectors/controllers and obvioulsy i have 4 fans - 2 intakes at the front and 2 exhaust fans: one at the top and one to the rear of the case.
My question is: Will the panel operate properly if i connect a splitter to each connection so that 2 fans are connected to one controller? Will the controller be able to cope and how would it interpret the rpm information with 2 fans joined up?
I'm still undecided on fan choice - but i know i don't want to spend more than £5 on each fan as the spec was built on a budget deliberately. Suggestions or experiences of fans would be welcome.
