Hi,
Finally got my rig out of the POS case it came in and mounted it in one of these, problem is now I can actually get to the insides now I can't stop tweaking it
I'm looking to try and control all the fans from the front, but not sure where to start.
In short:
- Current setup:
2 120mm TriCools on front each controlled from a pot.
1 120mm TriCool on back controlled from 3-position switch on back
1 220mm on top controlled from 3-position switch on back
...and another 120mm I found somewhere on the side panel, uncontrolled.
On top of that I'm looking at adding an internal fan to turn the unused row of 3 HDD bays into a cooling duct.
So basically I need:
-5 matched 120mm fans
-1 220mm fan
-Something to control them all
As for the fans, I'm expecting cries of 'Yate Loons' and 'Silent Eagles' but I really like my lights.
Ideally I'd just need 2 more TriCools to match the others and find a way to allow them to connect to a controller, if anyone knows how.
Controller-wise I'm looking at the Kaze Master Ace as I'd like something with temps/RPM on it, only thing is it's only got 4 channels. Is it possible/safe to put 2 of these fans on 1 channel?
Any advice would be appreciated.
