Quick question about fan controllers

[tdx]

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of setting up a fan controller on my rig. The only problem is, I currently have 11 fans in my case (I know, I'm crazy).

I searched and there is no fan controller that takes that many fans. So i was wondering if I can daisychain more than one fan together and plug them in the controller-let's say 3 fans per input?

Would that work or would I fry the controller?

I'm thinking about the Zalman ZM-MFC1 or the Vantec Nexus by the way.

Thanks, TDX

That's exactly what I've done with my cheap ass Coolermaster fan controller, and it's been fine for over two years, so I think you'll be fine.

Cool, thanks for the response. Just curious, how many fans have you attached in each input? Also, is there a way to determine if everything is running ok, or if there is a problem?

I have mine set up as 2 fans, 2 fans, and my cpu cooler. Been doing fine.

i would suggest the sunbeam fan controllers.
20 watts per channel,but whichever one you use,make sure it is below the rated watts per channel
