I have the following fans

4 side
1 rear
1 front
1 top

My fan sunbeam rheobus extreme 6 fan controller will be running 6 of these

1) what fan should i not connect to this fan controller?

2) some of the power cords for the fans i installed are too short to reach the fan controller, the controller came with a few extension cords, but i'm confused on why one of them splits from one to two connectors...

the manual doesnt really tell me what extension cords are what so can anyone help ? i figured out a couple of them but just double check i have it right...

Power Wire
4P - 2P)

3P to 3P wire (x2)
Black & red wires

3P to 4P wire (x2)
black and yellow wires with two to blanks on 4P

RPM Signal Wire for MB (x2)
yellow, black, red wire for 3P and black, yellow for 3P and one that has 2 black, 2 yellow, 1 red)

for the RPM Signal wire what end is the extension and what one goes into motherboard?


does anyone have a link to an install guide/video?

note: i'm a new builder so explain it as detailed as possible

As for question 1, i would personally 'bodge' the rear an top fan together. Connect the Rear to the bottom of the tops wires then plug that into the controller. Both will be controlled as one:).

Question 2 i think can be answered by saying you can link your fans power by tapping off the HDD or Optical drives 4 pin molex.
