Which fan controller is the BEST out of the 5.25" models? I cannot use a 3.5" one, because my case has a cover over them and just wouldn't work without some modding.
From what I've read, I haven't been able to find a really good 5.25" one. The Vantec NXP-205 seems like the best 3.5", but their 5.25" model has gotten bad reviews. Something about a humming sound when you turn the fans on low.
I will be using this fan controller for 1 120mm intake (and 80mm or 120mm side intake, in the future) one 1 channel. A 80mm (and either 80mm or 120mm blowhole, in the future) on the 2nd channel. The third channel will be used my my cpu fan. I'd rather have a 4 channel controller, just incase of addons later, but a 3 channel will do.
Also, I've read that not all fans would with fan controllers. So which fans would you guys recommend. Noise isn't a HUGE issue, since I'll have the controller. But I don't always play games, and don't want my computer to sound like a vacum cleaner
I'll be using a sp-97 hs, which takes a 80mm fan or 92mm (i think). I've seen people recomend Panaflo fans for use with the sp-97. What do you guys think? And which Panaflo is the best? Money isn't a HUGE issue, seeing how inexpense fans are. I don't mind spending that extra 5-10 bucks, if it's worth it.
To recap, right now I'm looking to get
1 120mm intake
1 80mm exaust
1 80mmor92mm for sp-97 (i believe they can use either)
If ya need any more info, just ask
Sorry for the long post, but I'm kinda new to this. I've been reading through these forums for over a week now. I didn't want to ask you guys questions that you've already answered 1000000 times. But I couldn't really find to much of fan controllers, even though I'd think that most of you use them.
