    You are correct there. The server version has had heatsinks added to it. Also, I'm running 6x Scythe GT's 1 channel, 3x S-FLEX's and another channel, and some random case fans on the other channels. All running at lower than standard RPM's, with ambient temps of 30 to 40 degrees C during the day (australian summer with no aircon). This machine has been running 24/7 for at least a couple months now with now problems.

    Conclusion, I think you will be fine with the server version.

    I could be wrong here, but I don think the rotary pots are actually passing the current that goes to the fan. I'm pretty sure they just send a control voltage to the mosfets. I will be adding a few things to my loop in a couple days do I will have a closer look while everythings apart.
