Title: Fan control.
Post by: Stryker on March 28, 2003, 08:41:49 AM
Got my rehostat fan controller the other day.  Its a very very practical little do-hicky.  Only when running the most exsteme of games do I have to turn up the fans to a moderate noisy level.... only when showing off how cool I can have the cpu are the fans up full :-)  Interesting point.... two 80mm fans on half power are not as loud as one fan on full power!

And it looks like a blue cold cathode kit rather than a UV one, but I might be wrong.

its just a blue cathode (originally from a very nice donor :-)

The fans are UV reactive green ones.  My fan controler was only £15 from ebuyer.co.uk.

Its controls the two fans at the back, the 120mm fan in the roof (pulls air through my radiator) and the cathode it's self.

i think that yours has some thing like 16v per controler where as mine only has 9 i think. but seing as all my componects run from 5 v, and the fans are variable it doesnt matter as long as i dont do to much daisy chaining
