Fan controller advice

[Fletchs]

Hi all,

I'm doing a new build and looking for a fan controller that meets my needs, haven't found one yet!

- fits one or more 5.25" bays, 20-30W per channel, atleast 4 channels
- Controls the fans based on temps
- under limit x°C fans stop completely
- after x°C gradually gain speed to 100% on another limit y°C I can set

Any controllers out there the meet ca these features?

Lamtron FC2 45w per chnannel x 6. I got one of this. But I am not fullly using so,I chose pwm route in the bios and my pwm fan.



Please disregard the above, as this is won't fully meet your requirement.

There as well. Pain in rear. I got own fans and own water pump. I am going with splitter cables that get power from molex connector, and use the MB ctrls.

While not exactly what you're looking for, this might work.

It'll let you regulate 3 pin fans using the motherboard's PWM fan connector. Then you can use the BIOS or some other software to set a PWM curve for the fans based on the temps read from the motherboard.

if you want to set curves, you'll need a microprocessor, thus: the Recon

Alternative is to use ALL PWM fans, a Swiftech 8 way splitter and use your BIOS or Speedfan to set the curve(s).
Depending on how advanced your MB is, some (basic) curve can be set in BIOS

OR, you can go the whole sing & dance with the Aquaero : http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...ge=product_info&cPath=36_48&products_id=39654

Been doing similar research. Came across this link, which I thought may be of use for you.
