can my fan controller take the volts?

Hey guys

Just wondering, I have a zalman zm-mfc1 plus controller and want to run 2x corsair sp120 performance fans, 2x GT 1850, 1x bitfenix spectre pro 200mm and a spectre 120.

Is my controller up to the job?

Cheers

7 Watts per channel, yep it'll be fine

Definately be fine bud to run those fans off that controller.

Well within specs if you put each fan on 1 channel.

Operating watts at 12V. Startup will be higher though...

1x corsair sp120 performance - 2.46 watts
1x GT 1850 - 4.32 watts
1x bitfenix spectre pro 200mm - 3.46 watts
1x spectre 120- 2.4 watts

If you place all the fans on a single fan connector it will overload the fan controller
It is not about the volts
It is about the amperage
So 7Wats means 12V 0.58Amp Max power draw

you will have plenty of headroom
