I have been using TT fan controler and things were perfect, I then added more fans and decided to get Sunbeam fan controler. the only problem with sunbeam well aside from having very bright leds, is the fans won't start when I have them set at anything less than 7 volts, with the TT they were working fine just for the fact that the TT controler will start at 12 volts for a second then drop to were I have it set at. now with the sunbeam, I have to manually do that everytime I start the PC, I mean I will have to turn the controlers up till the fans start then drop them back down. is there anyway where the sunbeam will do the same thing as the TT controler (start at 12 volts then drop back to where it's set at) capacitors come to my mind here but I am not sure on the how and what . anyhelp please?

thanks
 
No, Sorry, The sunbeam dosent sport "boot power"... If there is a "easy hardware hack" possible, its out of my skils, i'd love that one to...

B!
 
oh man, this is really bad. I mean I got sunbeam to be able to drop the fans to like 4 volts or so, now the sad part is having to the voltage up that everytime I restart the PC :( plus today when I was at work the wife started the PC and it shut down after an hour or so and I was like ummmm why did that happen, and I just found out that happened becase the PC overheated and shut itself down :( so now I am abit worried. I don't want to use the Thermaltake controler again, but now it seems that I have no way around that.

Venom, Electron Chaser I know guys you could come up with something, please help if you can.

thanks people.
