Power MCP655 through fan controller?

[dazzerd]

Hi guys I have a zalman fan controller coming this morning and am wondering whether I can (with the aid of an adapter) plug my pump into the controller and control the flow rate from the controller?

ANybody tried this?

cheers

I know you can alter the brightness of the lighting in your case through them amongst other things, dont see why you wouldnt be able to control your pump with it as well.

I would check how much ampage the fan controller can handle first before you melt/blow it up.

From memory the mcp655 draws 2amps/24W which is way more than any fan which tend to be around 0.1 to 0.2 amps so doubtful that the circuits in the fan controller will have being built to handle that.

Thanks Greebo, didnt think about the ampage was just thinking about the volts, think ill steer clear don;t want to melt blow anything up!
