how to control 4 fans per channel

hey guys,
i have a lian li pc p80 and it has 4 fans on the on controller.
qusetion:
can i do this with any fan controller and how/what parts do i need, because i need to control 4 fans at a time eg. 4 fans on one radiator.

i noticed all the 140mm fans on the front door re connected to a pcb with 4 fan ports on it 3 are for the fans and one connects to the controller in the top.
any place i can buy this pcb thingy?? i dont know what its called and google cant find it either.

thanks for any help

Easy. You buy a controller that can handle 4 fans per channel. Pay attention to if you have PWM or regular 3 pin fans. And fan wattage vs amps. Math. Then you learn about chaining them together with solder and a soldering iron. You can buy such fan connectors like you mention.

Pic then store links. You choose. Brainpower and research is up to you. Stores sell what you need.

Hi Conumdrum

On a similar note, is it possible to run 14x 120mm GTs in parallel straight to the psu? Sorry for OT.

I believe 4-pins molex wires are rated for like 100W (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). 14 GT's have a max power draw of 14x4,32W = ±60W. As long as your PSU has a strong enough 12V rail, it should be able to handle those GT's fine.

I believe they are rated at 6A which at 12v is 72W.

hey guys here are some pics of what i was talking about :) and thanks for everyones input

let me know if you know what the parts in the pics are called and more importantly where to buy one thanks guys

There are several replacement parts made by Lian Li similar to that. If you follow this link

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...th=130_210_750

you can find them in the "Bay Accessories" and "PCI Accessories" sections.

If none of those are to your liking, you can do what Conumdrum posted and use that on any fan controller that can handle the load.
