NOOBIE QUESTION, FAN CONTROLLER

corleone Vito · 7 Sep 2011 at 22:32

I am getting a fan controller for my rigs, 3 input and 3 output fans i am planning on putting 2 input 1900rpm 120mm fans on a controller and 2 output 140mm 1500rpm fans. On the controller should i have the output HIGH/LOW and the Input HIGH/LOW??? My physics is **** and i would personally think HIGH input - HIGH OUTPUT balance airshift.... i dont know why i am a NAWBIE!

a fan controller balances speed VS noise, have the dials at the same place for all of them, put them as high as you can stand the noise

Are you talking about positive and negative air pressure?

I guess positive as i am assuming

if you have identical fans (shifts same amount of air) in theory the two intakes should perform the same as the exhaust fans thus being equal pressure. The intake fans you have identified as being faster (1900rpm) "should" force more air in than you can exhaust.. leaving enough air inside the case for your gfx card(s) to use to cool themselves. This is based on that the 1900rpm fans shift more air then the others. Idealy you want more than enough air going in than whats being exhausted, have it the other way around, you will start to draw through any gaps in the case and starve vital areas of moving air, ie gfx cards and cpu cooler. If that makes any sense
