    Need super dooper Fan controller

    Currently using Scythe Kama meter but now need a newer fan controlled that can do even lower voltages. I am looking at the scythe Kaze Master, but I have more than 4 fans I would like to control.

    Can anyone recommend a controller that can do more than 4 fans and handle really low voltages.

    Maybe someone does a really cool multi purpose screen and controller as if there was something that could also monitor my water kit too..... awesome.... are there such things!!

    Cheers

    Re: Need super dooper Fan controller

    how low do you want to drop it? the hiyatek fan controller does it from 4v-12v with 10watts per channel here http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136404

    Still working here after a good few months so i recommend it .

    The rev2 Rheobus Extreme offers 6 channels, 30 per channel with 0-12V variable.

    Looks not too nice. Want something slick and black to go with a Silverstone TJ07 case. I would love the Scythe Kaze master seen here :

    http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/prod...roducts_id=524

    But like a double LCD screen with up to 8 fans.

    Can this get connected upto a LCD screen on the front to show reading etc or do you have to use the software on the computer screen?

    Plan to have the TJ07 very soon, so yeap could install two. I was thinking one on the top bay for the top 2 and back fans and then one on the bottom for the 3 fans I plan to use on my triple rad.

    Re: Need super dooper Fan controller

    Re: Need super dooper Fan controller

    The Scythe controllers give a 12v burst at the start to get all the fans started, you can of course still stall fans by running them with too little voltage.

    Personally I think I would go with 2x of the Scythe controllers will look very cool though a touch pricey!

    The T-balancer gets around this, no fan stall and can go down to 0rpm on any fan

    T-balancer looks a little too complicated for my blood. Although it looks like the most flexible thing out there.

    I second that. I have had Sunbeam Rheobus for 6 years and its been impeccable. 0-12V with no noise output whatsover, even if you load up 3 x 12cm regular speed fans per channel.

    No it's not, there's the zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus which is 6 channel, controled by 6 simple knobs, but is only 5-11v (done on purpose so you cannot turn off a fan which is very important if you've got your cpu or gpu cooler hooked up to a fan controller)
    And it's under £20
