looking for a fan controller

[roofsniper]

so my kaze master has had 2 of the 4 channels fail after one year and i have alrdy rmaed one of them. i need to find a new fan controller that can control at least 4 channels. i like the temp probes and rpm readout of my kaze master but if theres not another controller like it then thats fine. i can always hook up the rpm sensor onto the kaze master to get the readout. would be nice if it had glossy black plastic to fit with my nzxt alpha as my kaze master looks perfect right now.

do you care it automatic or manual ?

like wat? auto as in it controls based on the temps? id like it to be manual. i typcially use about 2 settings for each of my fans. i have all the fans set to different rpms for an idle mode and i turn them all up onto full speed for load or gaming mode.

What does everyone think of this fan controller?

http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/41...t_control.aspx

3 channels is enough for me, as they can each take up to 18watts, which allows me to connect all 3 rad fans into one channel, and then the two rear and top fans each into one channel, but also can control my CCFL lights.

Has anyone used it?

Do you know if you can use non-spectrum CCFLs with it?

Do you know if you can plug TWO dual CCFLs into the CCFL controller?

Thanks

The Sunbeam controllers are very good for the price.

Rheobus: 20Watts $19.99 USD @ the egg
Rheobus Extreme: 30Watts $29.99 @ the egg

Not sure where your located but they can be found at most online tech/computer shops.

Currently have 9 fans hooked up the Extreme.

As long as you don't mind LED's that fail they are great units.

yea i just bought the extreme on sunday. i might try an led mod to put in green leds if it doesn't seem like its too much trouble.

any conflicts with this controller and Noctua fans?

I know there is a Zalman fan controller that has awful conflicts with these fans because of PWM (pulse width modulation).

[roofsniper]

i don't got any noctua fans right now but im sure if i did they would work fine. the rheobus extreme has been working great for awhile now.

also i see that they list the leds as 5V leds. im assuming that would mean if i want to replace them i would have to get 5v leds? i haven't ever seen 5v leds but i saw some at frys the other day that might work. just they are expensive and im not sure about the quality.

[musso]

i have the zalman zm-mfc1 and right out of the box the led's did not work. other than that it is a great fan controller.

thank you

Zalman MFC1 PlusB will be my next fan controller. I've read some reviews and it looks good.

yea the zm-mfc1 isn't bad but it can only take 7W a channel which limits it to one sometimes two fans a channel.
