Controlling Three Fans At Once

[A_Darkfire]

Hi,

Is there a way I might control three 120mm fans from a fan controller at once, i.e. three fans attached to radiator? Can I simple mod the cables to attach to one socket on a fan controller so when I change the setting on that socket it slow/speeds up those three fans together? Sorry if that sounds stupid, I know little about low voltage modding.

Using two of the Akasa 3 Pin Fan cable splitter may work to fet all fans running on one plug.

Dont know if it will draw less power to the fans or something though

Yes it'll divide the power but 6v is still usefull, Iam not sure if 4v would work out as well.

I quite like the idea of a master control for when you know your'll need more or less cooling definetly but the only effective way Ive seen is to use a software/motherboard fan control setup and they are rarely well made unforunately

Get a mCubed T Balancer fan controller. That will solve all your fan control problems. Imagine its as a hardware version of speedfan.

If you do that (all on one channel), make sure you have enough power per channel. I use the Sunbeam Rheobus which is one of the best fan controllers out there - not necessarily for looks or anything but because it offers a whopping 20W per channel. This means you can even run pumps from the fan controller - should you so wish. An excellent fan controller - as I'm sure people would contend at Xtremesystems.
