Help with fan/controller setup please.

Trying to keep things cool and not fry anything in the process.

Have a Lian Li PC-65B which doesn’t have the best air flow.

2x80mm in the bottom for intake - 2x80mm, one below PSU in the back and one in the top for exhaust.

Most likely going to cut a 2nd 80mm hole below the one in the back for more exhaust and maybe buy a LL HD bay that comes in either 80mm or 120mm for another intake. Which would be blowing straight at the HSF.

Using the stock cooler atm for my E6420, but planning to get the Ultima-90I from Thermalright that comes with a 92mm (can use 120mm) fan. Supposed to be out by the end of May or June from what I can find out. Seems to have the performance of the larger 120’s (Tuniq/Ultra).

So in the end I will have 7 fans.

I bought a Vantec 205 witch has 4x18watt max channels. ~$20

Then found the Lian Li TR-3B, but can’t find any specs, besides it having 3 fan channels. ~$20-30

Can either of these maintain 6-7 fans? Or would it be an overload?

The Vantec is just knobs, but the LL has a display, so I’m thinking about returning the Vantec for it.

If they would support the fans, would it be wise to have 2x80 on 1 channel, 92 on another, and 3x80 on the 3rd? Leaving the 120 by itself? Or if I had the Vantec, it would go on 4th channel.

Also is it best to have the HFS controlled by me or plug it into the MB and let it decide? I have a Asus PN32-E Plus.

No idea how much controllers can really handle on a channel. Does 18 watts, really mean 18? Or is that in a perfect situation?

If these 2 won’t support my plans, any suggestions for a controller that does?

Thanks for any help.
