Guys I have just orderded the NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller as it has good reviews etc, but I feel I may have made a big mistake :(

First off I have a triple 360 rad and a double 240 rad both with push pull configuration now what I wanted to do was use splitters to assign the fans as follows:-

Double Rad (Pull - 2 fans) = Fan1
Double Rad (Push - 2 fans) = Fan2
Triple Rad (Push - 3 fans) = Fan3
Triple Rad (Pull - 3 fans) = Fan4
Case fans (2 fans) = Fan5

Now is it a simple case of using a 3 way and 2 way splitter to join the fans to the one fan header to the controller or is this not possible??

If not any ideas on how I would control these fans using the above method, also bearing in mind I only have 1 optical bay available?

Thankyou for your advice in advance :confused:
 
*UPDATE*

the Sentry 2 supports 10W per channel and using a converter as follows:-

10w @12v = 0.8333amps per channel

No correct me if I am wrong if I simply add the amp that each fan uses as long as it dont go over this 0.8333 on each channel I be safe right?

So for example I could fit 3 of these on each channel?

Can someone confirm I am correct or not please? as if its correct then I can safely do my above setup as I wanted
 
Another option would be using a fan controller that supports upto 12 fans, like the Scythe Kaze Q12.
