Looking for manual Fan Controller

[Larzo]

Hello

My old fan controller Scythe Kaze Q12 just blew one capacitator and i almost died from heart attack.

Is there anything on the market that can control 10-12 120/140mm 3pin fans ?


Can i use something like this Lamptron FC2 Fan Controller 5.25" to control 2 fans per channel ?

thanks for any suggestions.

I have a Lamptron, not used it in a while as everything is on the motherboard these days. But yeh it worked good and could easily handle multiple fans per channel.

The answer to this question depends entirely on the fans you are using. The FC2 will handle up to 45W per channel.

I've owned (and probably still have somewhere) the FC2; it is a robust controller.

Thanks ! Motherboards can control only 4pin fans right ? I am on old z77 board (AM4 soon) so have have no idea.

Fans will be mostly normal Noctua/ be quiet. Nothing super powerful.

Depends on the board. Some can do both PWM and voltage control. Check the manual.

Look up the wattage rating of the fans. Divide 45 by the wattage rating of the fan, which will roughly give you how many fans you can run per channel.

On MB's with 4 pin headers you can run 3 or 4 pin fans, for 3 pin fans just go in the BIOS and set to voltage controlled.
All MB's with PWM can be set for voltage control.
