fan controller help

newgamer91 · 1 Feb 2012 at 21:10

ive put the nzxt sentry lx into my case it works fine when i put it into manual mode and set the fans to full rpm but when i put it into auto the fan controller beeps at me and tells me that fan 2 and 3 are fluxuating between 300rpm and 0 rpm also when it does this fan 2 and 3 LED's go dim.

ive checked the fan connections and there fine

anyone no how to solve this?

How many fans have you got attached?

I think the sentry LX only has a low output, so can only power medium power fan per channel.

You can't- Just edit the post asking for a Mod to delete.

only mods can change the titles

RTM it

Are the fans too power consuming for the sentry?

newgamer91 · 1 Feb 2012 at 22:25

Report to moderator I think, I assume he means ask them to change the title.

I like the lamptron fc5v2, although the black ones are overdue. They work well and control precisely, if you don't mind having knobs and 4 channels is enough (I had a few fans on one channel once)

i'd prefer to have atleast 5 channels so i don't over do each channel, what you think about this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-004-LP&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=189

Ive got the lampton version and currently running 4x 140 noctua fans, 1x 200 corsair fan and 2x 120 corsair fans.
I tend to not go for flashy as most of the tech is in the "flash" not the actual performance.
