Fan controller help

Morning

I have a 6 fan controller that already has all 6 fans in my case attached to it.

I need to squeeze another one in on the side of the case and was wondering that if I was to wire 2x 120mm fans into one of the controllers (giving a total of 7), would I overload it?

My board does not support PWM on the case fans and the 120mm case fan I have is 3 pin.

What controller is it? It will be ok if it can handle the wattage.

Most of the Zalman/Akasa ones will run 2 fans from 1 output.

10 watts per channel , no problem.

To calculate :

Voltage = 12v

Multiply by fan amps - Random fan 0.13 amps ( i.e - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-013-AR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4 )

Equals 2 watts ( total per fan )

Hope this helps,

Yea that has plenty of power to even run 3 fans, unless they are very high power fans like Delta's.
