anyone have this fan controller ?

madhatR · Dec 25, 2006

i have 5x120s in my case .. looking for a fan controller that doesnt light up .. and fits in a 3.5 bay .. this fits the bbill .. but i cant seem to find out how many watts per channel it can hold .. cuz i would need to double up on 2 of the 3 channels

See if there are any mosfets on the PWM and google the part number. That should tell you. Have you also tried silverstone's website?

madhatR · Dec 25, 2006

yeah silverstones website doesnt tell anything

What kind've fans are you running? Despite not knowing how much power it can handle, I bet it can sustain at least 2 Yate Loons on one channel.

im running Scythe Sflex 1600rpm ones .. that is the hi flow scythe fans

Most of your standard fan controllers are capable of dealing with 16-18 watts of power per channel. So unless you are running very high power fans (and your S-Flex fans aren't that), you should be able to run 2 fans on each channel at least.

ok thanks .. yeah im not running any deltas

on the performance-pc site .. it says my fans draw 0.20a

muddocktor · Dec 25, 2006

You should be able to control 3-4 of those fans with safety margin per channel then, IMO.

madhatR · Dec 25, 2006

thanks .. only gonna run 2 per channel ..

Davevava · Dec 25, 2006

The maximum amperage rating for the FP33's control circuit is .4 amps per channel; I wouldn't hook up a power hungry Delta, Dual Motor, 1.25lb, 220.29cfm GFB type fan to this without a fire extinguisher close by. That amperage rating equates to 4.8 watts per channel which is a fine for most low speed and some medium speed case fans. With a minimum setting of 5 volts, the controller will drop below the stall point on some fans and you should keep that in mind when setting fans at lower speeds.

How about this Vantec

You could always cut or remove the LED?

yea, i have that. i got it from compusa, it looks exactly the same, so im guessing it is the same..

and the usb ports broke after a few plugs in and out.

but besides that, it works well.

Says it has a Max of 1.5a so if your not hooking up 8 of them should be ok
