Hey guys,

I'm putting together a new build and I have a question. The front of my case is going to have 6 120mm fans and all of the ports on my motherboard are already used up from other case fans.

I'd like to get a 6 port fan controller so that I can easily power all of the fans. I also would like this fan controller to notify me on the failure of any of those 6 fans. Is there a fan controller out there that does that?

I actually don't care too much about controlling the speed of my fans. I'm fine using fixed voltage, non PWM, fans in my case. But I would like the controller to notify if any of those 6 fans failed so I know to replace them. Those fans will be cooling some pretty hot hard drives, so being notified about the failure may help extend the life of those drives.

I have up to 2 5.25" bays n the front of my case to fit this controller. But honestly... I'd be fine if there was even a simple wiring method that kept this all in the case and hidden.

Does anyone know of a product that will do this and can offer a recommendation?
