This is all a Question about ease, now that I have realized cooling is a gaming only challenge (for me anyway), and whether this hardware will make it so. &/or pleaser recommend an all in 1 toggle/knob/button.
I bought these fans because they could do two things: be quiet; and put out decent cfm for the noise. But when I got them I hadn't any idea of how much cfm or db I would be at. I now have these (6) fans:
(4) 80mm Vantec Stealth fans:Front - in; Back - out; Top - out; Side - in (inverted blowhole clear side window so fan is at perfect vid card height)
(1)Zalman CNPS-7000Cu on cpu
(1)40mm on MHC
My psu has two fans but they are indepenantly temp controlled (dangling temp sensor), and my stock Vid card does currently have a fan incl.; Extra molex connector std. too. The 40mm on MHC is always on, so I will have 6 to control (min/full) since:
What my pooter is missing NOW is a video card cooling system, now that I have just started to OC it, and I am thinking about the Zalman VF-900Cu or Fatal1ty, or even the arctic-cooling, specifically FX5900XT, NV Silencer 3. I like the universality of the more expensive.
I f-d up my OC of the system w/ the 2.6 as it only taxes the RAM and mobo slightly, and the Zalman 7000 is definetely not needed. However when I do game I know that all things will be set to cool at max. I have a Vantec Nexus 3-1/2" 3-fan + 2in1 light tube controller in floppy bay number two. With its (4) 7 o'clock to 5 o'clock knobs I can adjust lights from sound sensor to max, and the fans @9 o'clock they start, and clockwise from there is max.
So I have just realized I need a vid cooler, which will be another fan to control (i.e turn up only when gaming), making a TOTAL OF 6 incl 4 case, 1 cpu, and 1 gpu. Not to mention the (2) light tubes that came with the Nexus F&L ctrlr, which should have at least an on/off, if not the variable sound sensor lying somewhere in the middle of the 3-1/2 far right knob.
However the question is about what is likely to happen ( I don't have a clue)
with these devices if I connect this thing, which has 6 toggle switches. To be totally honest I wish I knew of a unit that ALSO had a single toggle to put everything on (INCLUDING THE GAMNG LIGHT) with one flick/turn/push.
Will they automatically go from barely minimum, or thereabouts (which makes a difference for sound) to the max with the flick of a switch.
I know nothing technically-wise whats going on.
THE 6 TOGGLE BAY BUS I am thinking of:
