Hello I need some help on purchasing the NZXT sentry 3. I'm currently using 7 PWM cougar fans in my NZXT phantom 820 case; 2 fans bottom, 1 fan pivot, 4 fans push/pull water cooler. I would like to purchase the sentry 3 because I don't have enough 4pin controllers on my mobo. But the fan controller only has 5 channels and uses 15w per channel. I was planning on connecting 2 fans into 1 channel through a PWM spliiter but I'm not sure if the 2 fans will exceed the 15w limit. I checked online everywhere for the specs but it just doesn't say. Can I please get some advice?
Are my cougar fans compatible with NZXT sentry 3?

Fans only pull 2-3 watts each, depending on the size. A 230mm fan only pulls about 3 watts while a 120 or 140mm fan grabs between 1.5-2w. You'll be fine splitting the channels.
