Fan controllers

[spiral out]

The fans in my case are too noisey so i was maybe thinking of a fan controller to shut them up a bit or maybe turn them off when not gaming.

Can anyone recommend a cheap decent one not more than £15?

Cheers

I used the following fan controller, http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=385913.

It costs £8.67, controls 3 fans and has two usb ports. I've been really impressed with this fan controller. Good luck.

I'm not sure if you can turn off fans with the Akasa controller.

You can turn off fans with a Sunbeam Rheobus. One of the best controllers around IMO. Google for UK availability.

You may be able to get it for around 15 if you import from the US - www.jab-tech.com.

Sunbeam Rheobus is the only way tbh. Top class unit.

Funny how they list "energy conservation" as a benefit of the coolermaster, like a couple of watts on the fans makes any difference compared to the hundreds of watts on an overclocked cpu or high end graphics card.

if the fans are old then dust may have worked its way into the motor and formed a paste with the grease. You could maybe get quieter fans?

First of all, I would never turn fans off completely and second, I vote the Akasa, as I have now successfully used it in my main PC (MSI7025/AMD 64 3200+) and HTPC (Asus A8V/AMD 64 3200+) both with the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro. Got all fans running at about 1000rpm and no noise...

g8ina are you using the akasa to control the ac freezer 64 pro?

[g8ina]

Yep, just took a fly wire off for the speed sensor, no probs... CPU at max is only 45 C or so in the HTPC and 48C in the main system.

I recently got this fan controller and it is excellent, controls 4 fans and allows you to turn them off totally if you like. I got the black one but the only problem is you cannot see the dial on the nob to see whether it is switched on or not, as I removed the LED's cos theyre so bright.

I used small strips of white stickers for the dials, but other than that it is an excellent fan controller.

Ok gonna check out some reviews on all of them, i just want to stick two 120mm fans, northbridge fan and my arctic freezer 64 pro on it.
