Does anyone know if there is a fan controller that has red leds instead of blue? I was looking at the Lamptron FC-3 but do not like the blue. Is there a way to change the leds to red?
 
Thanks for the suggestions. However, i need it to fit in a 5.25 bay and it needs to be more than 7w per channel. I gave up on finding the red led controller and will settle for the blue leds. At least until i can find an article on how someone moded theres.
 
More than 7W per channel? For what? Most fans are less than 1W each....

And the Zalman linked to above is for 5.25" bays.
 
With only a 7w controller, my 1900rpm fans only spin at 1100 max. Thats why i wanted more watts per channel.
 
a soldering iron and a few minutes of my time and i could have it any color you like
 
I personally use the NXZT Senty LX. It powers all my Noctua fans perfectly even though it maxes at 4 watts per channel. There is also a Sentry 2 that is touch screen and can handle 10 watts per channel.

Personally I like it because it automatically adjusts the fans based on temps. With a manual control if the temps get to high and I am not around there is no way for it to adjust itself. May or may not be what your looking for....
 
How is the wiring in the Sentry? I imagine you need to wire each temp sensor, are the wires for them long enough to manage (behind mobo tray, etc.)?

The cables are more than long enough to go behind mobo tray, etc. I want to say they are either 18" or 24" long but cant remember. Because my case has more than enough cooling and temps were not a *huge* problem I decided though to just connect them all together and let them hang in the middle of the case. Set to auto they normally keep the temps in the case quite cool and when my fans run at 1100 rpm they are inaudible.

In my old thermaltake case I ran the temp sensors for a couple of the fans to directly on the GPU and there was more than enough cable to route them right.
