Fan Controller

[Nelsaidi]

Hey guys
I need a fan controller because my fans are only needed to be 'loud' (still accepitble) while gaming, to shift as much as air because of my graphics, rest of the time i need it quiet.

It must be 5.25", and support 2 molex fans and 3 regular 3pin fans, been looking at this :

But, i cant tell, does that support what i said above pins wise?

Thanks

That supports 6 3pin fans, you can get molex to 3 pin adaptors though

[Nelsaidi]

Thanks for that

where can one get the 3 pin adapters though??

[Nelsaidi]

I remember maplin selling them, and scan most likely stock them.

Kustom PCs sell them, suppose other shops will too

also your system on the lhs, is that what you plan to build or have that already?

i have the an P182 SE, the 3 fans are very good, but too noisy when gaming lol
my GTX is like central heating in itself!!

Could get this one, http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136404 I have it and its pretty good. If the LED's annoy you then you could bend them away or snap them off(They are bright, i plan on cutting mine off). This one comes with the connections required and i believe there is 2 4pin molex ones(not 100% certain, atleast 1 though). Or you could get this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136403 its cheaper again no LED's and has an extra 2 usb ports.

Choice is yours but the 6 fan hiyatek fan controller seems to be doing very well in terms of speed of fans(max and low) and its still going so for £7 its great.

If i was going to buy a fan controller i think it would have to be the Scythe Kaze Master 5.25 inch Fan Controller just because of it's looks

At £30+ it isn't cheap though.

if you manage to get the molex converters working please let me know..

If you mean me then yes, I already own all of that. The new build funds are for upgrades to i7

Small bump, but is that controller good? Are there any other decent ones with the ability to control 5 fans? How deep are they? I use my 5.25" bay to store quiet alot of wires (mainly ide and a few others) as wire management isnt that good in the antec 300, spent along time sorting it, and its exdcellent as it is now imo. How deep are fan controllers? Are they about an inch, or deeper?

thanks

EDIT
Yes, they are about an inch deep ! (atleast thisd one)
