Fans and controllers

[WoZZeR]

Hello Chaps

I am a complete novice to this cooling malarky and since I am collecting parts to watercool my PC any advice may prevent further errors of judgement:

I'm looking for 2 fans to mount on a Black Ice radiator, I'd like them to speed up and slow down by themselves. I can't fit a bay mounted fan speed controller as I haven't any spare bays and as far as I can see I have only one available mainboard fan connector.

I've read the fan post so selecting the fans is easy, what about the controller. Is this a make my own kind of setup or is there something out there you chaps have experience of.

I presume I could make my own controller which would base it's output on coolant temperature or just bodge the onboard fan connector to take 2?

Any ideas.

You need a T-Balancer BigNG...

What can the T-Balancer bigNG control? The bigNG can read up to 10 analogue sensors, 8 digital sensors, 2 flowmeters and the speed of 4 fans. It can control fans, powerful waterpumps, CCFLs and even Peltiers. It can be connected to the PC with USB. The RPM signals can also be connected. With the Extension Set analogue, the PC can also be shut-off in a case of emergency.

Which extensions exist for the T-Balancer bigNG?
Extension set digital (6 more digital sensors), extension set analogue (6 more analogue sensors, emergency PC power off, connector for 2 flowmeter), 2 T-Balancer miniNG (more fan channels), Waterkit (with flowmeter and water temp probes), filling-leve meter (in development), Multi-IO with 16 In- and Outputs (in development)

The T-Balancer bigNG offers numerous safety systems: overheat protection, acoustic alarm, optic alarm, software alarms, sensor loss control, blockage recognition, self-sustaining system

With Software (via USB2.0) the T-Balancer can be adjusted and configured in an easy way. Many Plug-Ins (iMON, Speedfan, MBM, JaLCD, LCDC, Samurize) are provided for the T-Balancer software. The software also enables long-term monitoring, an integrated USB watch-dog ensures a permanent USB connection.
