Fan Controller Question

EnderXi · 8 Jun 2013 at 15:02

So, I have purchased a corsair 900d now this crazy mofo can have 15 fans in the thing, I am looking currently at having 8 fans and need a controller capable of dealing with that many, Scythe used to do the Kaze Q12 in black but have discontinued it (only available in silver) I have found a Nesteq device on ebay that has 8 channels (i have one on my 800d currently) but I am not 100% happy with the finish on the nesteq.

Anyone got any suggestions for alternatives?

Some of the lamptrons are highly reccomended for simple no frills fan controllers. The main bonus being that they offer very high wattage ratings per channel, therefore allowing multiple fans per channel. Im using an akasa fc six at 30w per channel, but it unfortunately has a slight buzzing noise that can be annoying.

Why not use fan splitter cables to group your fans together?

I have a 4 channel fan controller but only use 3 of the channels; 1 for front, 1 for back and 1 for the radiator at the top of my case. If you had side panel fans, perhaps you'd use a 4th channel for that.

+1, Go Lamptron, and multi fans per channel - just keep to the wattage limit per channel.
