A good fan controller?

z1103246 · Oct 8, 2014

since my motherboard only have 3 pin fan headers, Im looking to get a fan controller.
Im looking at the Sentry Mix 2 right now, but does it have a automatic fan controll option?

Thx all!

They work as VR or Pwm.

Sentry Mix 2 is a good choice and i don't think that it have a automatic fan control option.

sry if I wasnt clear, my fans have 4 pin, thats why Im buying a fan controller. Your controller only accept 3 pins.

Yes and it has a Pwm option for those fans. It should work for you pwm fans.

My fan is the Noctua NF-F12 PWM , and according to the page that if I plug it into a 4 pin fan header it can have PWM control. the Sentry Mix 2 have 4 pin fan headers, does that mean I get automatic fan control?

No, with the Rheosmart 6 it has a cable that plugs into Pwm header of your mobo and to your cpu fan sending the pwm
function to your controller, Under each VR knob There is a button. If you push it to the red light it runs the individual fan in the pwm mode. Otherwise the light below the knob is green and you can adjust the rpm manually.

Sry for being a noob... but I though PWM and automatic fan control are the same?

You will if they advertise and say it does. That definitely would be in the details prominitly. For the Rheosmart 6. It is in the details and I have used the function.

Thank you SO MUCH, this is really helpful! one more question, there's review on Amazon saying there's a issue with quality control and report of only been able to control up to only 4 fans. Have you had any similar experience?
