Morning all,
Just setup my new Zalman MFC1+ fan controller and my sharkoon fans.

I've set up 3 Sharkoon SE 1000's to channls 4,5 & 6 on the controller - all happily running.
I've set up the 2 Sharkoon SE 2000's (cooling the rad on the H50) to channel 1 with an ACTIVE RPM Sensing Cable (that came with the controller)...
2 fans.... 1 channel... ? I used a 3 Pin Y Adaptor / 3 Pin Splitter cable to attach the two fans to one channel.

The problem being that i'm having very varying RPM readings both in BIOS and HWMonitor for this channel.... Any ideas? Would I be better off attaching both fans to single channels? (I have a spare RPM Sensing cable I can use)

Cheers all...
 
A few hundred RPM's in the BIOS.

STUPID amounts in HWMonitor. It hit a MINIMUM of 0 once!

Im thinking of trying to connect both fans individually to the controller and see how that goes......
 
yeah attach them separately and see if the fans are faulty, it might be that ur controller cant provide the amount of power required by 2 fans on a single channel
