Well as topic says I would like to have a Scythe Kaze fancontroll but I am not very happy with only being able to controll 4 fans. So is it possible to connect additional fans on each lane?
Like using this:

Sure - provided you're ok with the fans on each channel all being scaled up/down at once. Using a Sunbeam, I'm running the three fans on my MCR320 together on one channel, the case fans on the other, one reserved for the second MCR320 fans when I get the 4870X2 waterblock, and the last channel for CCFLs. Make sure you wire your fans up in parallel, not series, and that you don't exceed the max amperage of each channel.

Thanks, thats what I meant. Then I think I will place my order for my new Lian Li V2110B case and some Yate Loon fans :) (/me hopes Yate Loon @ 5-7V is dead silent)
Sunbeam is still safer, to join up multiple fans per channel. I tried a maximum of 6 Minebea High speed fans. Scythe Kama-master can't even take 2 on one channel. Scythe Kazemaster on the other hand i have no idea.

more like it hates anyone else fan's other then scythe
max amp per channel is only 1 amp and it's 12 volts so 12 watts max.
i needa know this too. im planning on running 7-10 fans. would rheobus be better than this. the scythe just looks so damn good

if you end up looking at something more high-powered, I thought I'd mention that I was emailing with Gary at Sidewinder and they have a few of these in stock (silver only) although they're not up on the site yet

No reason to start a new thread.
Yate loon 1300rpm requires 0.3A right`? so Can I hook up 3 fans per channel?
