I have a pair of delta 120mm (the big boys) and had them on my Noctua heat sink in push pull for about 8months via A Zalman fan controller
Last week i decided to move them to the front bays on my Antec p182 and use the stock P12 fams on the cooler, the idea being to create positive pressure and add more cold air.
However the fan controller burnt out within seconds of turning the machine on.
I know many use the Akasa fan mate to control these monster fsn but repot they get very hot and require cooling them selves... Is this my best option? I have looked for a controller that can handle the 30w @+3amps got not getting very far.
Can anyone sudgest a way of controlling the speeds but safely letting them run at full whack when I want it?
