Fan controller, is it possible to hook up 8 fans?

I will be needing a fan controller and was wondering if it's possible to hook up 8 fans to a four fan controller, I will have 6 120mm xigmatek XLF-F1253, and 2 140 xigmatek XLF-F1453

Was looking at one of the Scythe Kaze-Master 5.25" Fan Controller.

Anyone know if this would run all 8 fans safely?

Not sure but does it say how many watts per channel it can handle?

edit...12w per channel

not sure of rating of fans but they will say an ampage on them so you can work out the watt (voltage x current in amps)

these are the listed specs of the fan controller

- Display Dimensions: 114 x 20 mm
- 5V or 12V (from PSU)
- Fan Adjustment Range 3.7 V (±10%) ~ 12 V (±10%)
- Four Fan Channels
- Maximum Ampere per Channel 1 Amp
- Fan Speed Range 0 ~ 9990 RPM (displayed in 30 RPM steps)
- Number of Temperature Channels 4

and from the back of one of the fans (120mm) DC 12v 0.20A

is this enough info?

In bold, two fans in parallel if they're that rating is fine.
