Sleep mode question

[Monkey_feces]

Is vista's sleep mode still more efficient with power if I'm running with an Antec 900 case with the 2 stock LED fans? Would getting a front panel fan controller enable me to turn fans off and on? Should I even bother about the cost of having fans powered on 24-7?

I don't think its that big of a deal, fans dont draw that much power. If you're worried about it, why not have it go to hibernation mode after so much time in standby or skip standby and go directly to hibernation.

Yes, fan controllers will allow you to shut off fans. All they're doing is changing the amount of current reaching the fans, if you make it 0A...they're off
