I am pretty sure I am getting an Asus board, and would love to just use their Fan Exprt 2 software. Most Fan controllers don't support this and neither do motherboard headers. So at minimum your looking 19.08 watts for 3 fans, and 25.44 watts for 4, up to 50.88 watts for 8 fans. with most controllers offering 20w, and Scythe Gentle typhoon ap-45 Rating highly in fan testing which require just over 6watts to startup. The problem is that your talking 3-4 fans per radiator, and 6-8 if your going push/pull. I'd like to be able to control all the fans on one radiator to behave one way or to the software like one fan. I'm going for a water cooling setup, with multiple radiators. I'm trying to gather background information as what the end goal is this. is this how it does it, stepping the voltage? Similar to a knob on a physical controller.

It basically gives you control to set it at different voltages say at. So when you have a computer controlled 3 pin fan does it like with Asus Which basically gives you control beyond 5v, 7v, and 12v. I know most of these are PWM and understand the advantages, but lets face it, not all fans are PWM. Ok I've been thinking about a project because I'd like to control my fans a certain way.īasically I would like to use my computer itself to control a series of fans.īasically With motherboards from Asus, MSI, and EVGA you can control your fans that are plugged into the motherboard.
