    They would bloody want to, the FC2 from Lamptron was the biggest piece of crap i have ever layed eyes on, every single fan i had squeeled its head off running on anything less than 12v so i wasted $70 AUD on a fan controller to combat noise that just replaces fan noise with an even more annoying noise?

    I tried another controller and had no problems. In the end i just ran them at 7v which i should have done in the first place.

    Email em and they said it was a limitation of the PWM technology, which is not true they just didn't know how to design it properly to combat the frequency output that is resonates in the fans why release a product when they know it has that sort of a fault.

    Lamptron FTL lol
