What would be a decent fan controller and monitoring device for use of these fans

Using them in a CM 830 with 8 Fans.

What do want to accomplish with a fan controller?

Those fans are rated at 1500 rpm, 69.15 cfm, and 18dba. At 100% operation the noise level is much higher. With 8 fans you will wind up with a pc that sounds like a jet engine. At full speed expect the noise level to be in the 35 - 45dba range.

Did you want a fan controller to reduce the noise level?

Just something so I can turn it up when needed and lower it whens loud / unneeded / trying to sleep.

I like and have this one. 7 channel with 3 heat sensors. Looks pretty good also. 7 channel is the biggest I have seen. To manage all 8 fans, you might need two separate units.
