Vantec question:

Cerberus2k7 · Feb 28, 2004

I have a Vantec Nexus NXP-101, and I am planning on getting a SP-94 with a 92mm Vantec Tornado and hooking it up to the Nexus. Now, I was wondering if the Tornado will work with the fan controller, or would I need to modify something? Thanks,

The 92mm Tornado draws 1. amp / 12 watts. So as long as your fan controller is rated over 12 watts per channel, you'll be ok.

Yeah, i'm a n00b to the whole power scene, so I have no idea. I looked up the stats, and this is what I found:

Rated Voltage 5V ± 5% ~ 12V ± 5%

Input Power - 5V Less than 0.5W
- 12V depends on the type of CPU cooling fan

You could get a rheostat and use it to control the beast. Here's a link and a giude..I can't find any info on your controller..I wouldn't take a chance on burning up myself..

I wish I still had the box for my Nexus, but right on there somewhere it says something like "Ideal for controlling highspeed fans like the Vantec Tornado"

^^Was it the 4 channel version? Mine is the one that has the LCD readout and controls 1 fan.

ya, it's the Nexus 205 ...

Yeah, I googled it, and it does say that's it's "great for using high CFM fans such as the Vantec Tornado"

vantec's website makes no reference to using a tornado with the nexus 101 multi-function controller.however on their site i read 2 reviews on this unit where the writers used it with tornado fans so it should be ok.
