ARC midi R2 owners, got a question about the fan controller

Hey guys,

im on the hunt for a Fractal Design ARC midi R2 and just want to clear something up before i buy one.

can i control four corsair AF140 quiet edition fans with the fan controller? or do i need to buy a new one?

thank you

anyone? is the fan controller strong enough to power 4 maybe 5 AF140's?

Fractal's specs state it supports upto 3 fans. You might get away with 4 using a splitter.

"Fan controller 1 - integrated fan controller for up to 3 fans (included)

Yeh I seen that, I just did not know if I could run 4 AF140's of it.

3 fans is a bit silly really imo

I've got 6 AF140s running off of my Define R4 controller.

Comes with a molex + 3x3pin cables, I then used splitters to allow me two fans per cable, works fine.

Great, I can fill up the case with AF140's then
