I'm working on my latest case and have run into a problem. I'm going to run a pelt on my A64 and already have 2 black ice xtreme III's for cooling. Problem is each of those rads are going to have 6 120mm Sunon's on. I do enjoy my hearing and don't want my case (Lian-Li PC-V2100B) to fly away
I would love to have each rad on it's own controller but I'm having trouble finding something to handle 6 of those.
Thanks for any help.

here's one: http://www.maxpoint.com/products/per...5fat/index.htm

If you're talking speed control then what you could do is just get a high wattage potentiometer of a suitable resistance range. connect all the fans in parallel and wire the supply side through the pot. This would allow you to uniformly control all of em at the same time. Not overly sure what wattage you'd need but if you like i'll try and work it out for you.

Thanks for the help.
I would love to control all 12 of those at once
I'm going to have a second Ultra X-Connect 500W to power the water cooling and all of those fans.
I think each fan pulls about 7W and 0.6 amps.

That's a lot higher than I expected, I think the best method now would be to use a multi position switch (like a rotary switch) a some power switching devices like relays and supply the feeds through higher powered wire-wound resistors. This is gonna get very electrical and complicated so I'll post a circuit diagram for you very shortly

The boxes labelled R1, R2, R3 are the relay coils (you'll need 12V coil SPST relays) the contacts labelled R1, R2, R3 are the contacts for the respective relays. The unlabelled rectangles are the wirewound resistors and the circles are the fans all wired in parallel. Appologies for my poor skills in mspaint

Anyway, when you select a position on the selector switch a relay is energised which switches in the supply for the fans via a relay contact and one of the resistors which regulates the voltage hence regulating the speed. The reason we need to use wirewound resistors and relays is because of the amount of current your fans will be pulling is significantly more than just a couple would. As for the values of the resistors you'll have to experiment with that and see which works out best for the application but i'd have thought 10K downwards would be in the right range. You can add as many speeds as you like depends on how many positions the selector switch you use has and how many relays and resistors your putting in.

Hope this helps

Contact Twizted here or at Dragonmodz...he has built me 2 rheostats that can handle everything you got. I have run 4 120mm Delta 130cfm fanz on just one of them, the built in h/s barely got warm...

Hey guys thanks for all your help. It's nice to find a forum where people help each other. I asked this question on another site and was only told I was "!@#$ crazy" for even wanting 12 Sunon's near my case.

Well, you are crazy for wanting 12 Sunon's ....i respect you for that

Actually there will be 14 Sunon's. 2 are in the case. I'm gonna have to lock the wheels and tie it down though

ROFL....i can't wait to see this beast. Be sure to take pics and post 'em as it comes along

Lightbulb. Hover case.

Why does this remind me of the now defunct... what was it, AMC computers? The cases that pushed 1k+ CFM... or better known as the brush chipper.

I will post pics as I go. I'm still ordering parts though. Might have to be after the first of the year before I can really put a good start to it with all the big holidays coming up. I know we all love to see someone cutting into a $300 case.

id needa few days to sure up the size ofmy balls before doing that...


hwo much cfm does a sunon push?

Each of mine push 109CFM

i dont really get how u can give with that kinds sound. how do u listen to music or anything? thats nuts my one tornado back in the day drove me nutters

I just don't understand why you would ever want to run your fans at anything but full speed. I've got 8 TT SmartFan II's in my case, and they came with fan controllers and tempreture sensors that I will never use. I'm in the process of getting some Tornados, because I heard they were a little louder than the TTSCFII's. Evrey DB helps!
