Fan Controllers

smelly · 27 Mar 2009 at 21:31

Im build my new pc in a P193 or P183 case.

Im wondering what would be the best fan Controller for this case?

My choices seem to be either the Scythe Kaze Master Ace or Akasa Fan Control Pro, which got high rating.

but im wondering if i missed any good fan controllers with temperatures readings.

Any advice or recommendations?

thanks

I have two of the Zalman ZM-MFC2 multifuction controllers, one in each pc. They control four fans plus a pwm cpu cooler or pwm fan, tell you the rpm, they have 4x temp probes and tell you how much power you are using. They are very good but i would'nt pay the ridiculous price they are asking on here.

It's good but not my cup of tea plus the munbers only go upto ten.

I've got this and its great.

It controls 4 fans, gives the fan rpm & temp readings and looks very nice

Was a bit cheaper when I bought it.

+1 for the Kaze-Master. It also has the ability to turn fans off completely which many other controllers don't do.

is it possible to link up a bank of fans to only one knob?

so like knob 1 is front fant, 2 is rear fans etc?

Yes it is if you use a splitter

hawker1986 · 28 Mar 2009 at 17:15

yeah you could use a Y splitter for the fans if you were so inclined.

£10 premium over the silver one ! :mad:

The Scythe's are definitely the best lookers.

brigz · 28 Mar 2009 at 17:41

whats the most amount of splitters do people recommend keeping to?

Nick1881 · 28 Mar 2009 at 17:59

It depends on the wattage of the fans your using and the power rating of the fan controller.

brigz · 28 Mar 2009 at 18:34

ah ok cool, the fans say 0.24A each and the controller 1A output per channel

fmsam · 28 Mar 2009 at 21:33

fan controller

ok imo this is by far the best controler out there today
I started out with the Zalman ZM-MFC2 but found a compatability issue with Noctua fans
as they use variable voltage and not pwm so for me this is the one you should look

check it out its bloody awsome 5 fan channels 5 temp probes auto mode or manual setup
large 2 bay size display unlike the Zalman where the readout is hard to see unless its at eye level
