Okay so I am not an electricity genius by any means (just the opposite) so this might be a stoopit question for the rest of you. And my Google sense doesn't shine today on this particular subject
I want to have an external 3x120 rad with 3x140 fans on it.
I would very much like to have automatic control of those fans.
I understand some after market fan controllers can do that but then you have to rely on those ribbon temp probes and I don't really like those.
I would rather have the mobo control the 3 fans based on the more accurate internal cpu temp.
Hooking up a single case fan to the 4 pin cpufan connector on the mobo would be easy enough. But how can I get that 4 pin cpufan connector to control 3x140mm fans?
I am guessing there would not be enough juice on that tiny 4 pin connector to power up all 3 fan, or is there?
Thanx and cheers!
The Sunbeam Rheosmart 6 should fit the bill... can control 6 30w channels from the PWM header on mobo

You do the math, a 120x4 is larger than a 140x3.
