Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a rut because I cannot get a Lamptron FC-8 fan controller in Canada.

I'm building a pc Oct 27th and am worried about running my 8 aftermarket fans off of my CM StormTrooper's case controller. There are 4 fan connectors (3 cables,) 2 of the fan connectors have a separate cable and 2 share the same cable. Per cable you can connect up to 1 ampere. The split cable can have 0.5 ampere per connector."

I digress, can I cut a $2 extension cable to test a fan's current instead of cutting one of my fan cables?
