Fan Controller.

I'm looking into buying a fan controller as i stream a lot of things from my PC to my TV.

The main reason behind this is because my fan seems to be very loud and i have to turn my TV up to hear it.

Will this cause my CPU to overheat at all if i turn the fans down low? and how would i connect it up to control the fans, I have 2 fans.

Thanks

I doubt it. You should be fine when doing non intensive tasks. You could always monitor the temps while doing so though.

First off what fans are they? Are they intakes and exhausts? And are they 3/4 pin or molex.

I did a review of the Hydra Pro from Bitfenix. I took temp and sound readings and posted the results in there. I hope reading the review will answer a lot of your questions

Well i'm expecting it to be the fan on my CPU that's making all the noise and i believe it's 4 pin

Personally I wouldn't have a fan controller on a CPU, especially if I had the option of PWM.

Are you sure that PWM the fan control is enabled in your BIOS?
