Hi. I couldn't find a "Cooling" or "fan" category. So this is what I picked
I recently bought 3 "Arctic F12 PWM 120mm Rev 2" fans to replace the stock fans that came with my CM Storm Trooper (2 front intake and 1 rear exhaust) for the soul purpose of making my rig run more quite. So I thought a better fan controller would good for keeping my rig quite when not stressing it and go full power when best possible cooling is required.
I looked at a few controllers (all of them from NZXT) and I liked the "Sentry Mix 2" the most. HOWEVER I noticed that it outputs a max of 30W per channel and only goes down to 40% power. So does that mean the minimum is 12 watts?
I am also replacing the top 200mm exhaust fan with a AeroCool Silent Master because it's probably more quite and moves less air and it matches the Black & Red theme I got going on. Over at AeroCool's website it says that the Silent master runs with 3 Watts, so would I kill all the fans if I hooked them up to a "Sentry mix 2"?
---NUT SHELL---
•I'm looking for a good & cheap fan controller
•Will I kill my fans if I hook them up to a 12-30watt power source

I feel as if I haven't explained myself very good (and my grammar sucks). If you have a hard time understanding what I meant, please tell me and I will try explain myself better
