Fan Controller

[psyduck89]

recently i found out fan controler. Can the fan controller increase the rpm of my fan?

I wonder if a fan controller that claim it can provide 30watt per channel will burn my fan??
Is there anything i need to worry be4 i tune all my fan watt to maximum?

I am using 2000rpm CoolerMaster LED fan.

The fan controller will control (D'uuh!) The speed of your fans up to their rated speed at 12V I.E. 1500Rpm but the main use is to slow them as much as possible to decrease noise, or whack them all on full for max cooling as you wish at any point
30w per channel just means its capable of supplying that, not that it will always put that through so no,it wont melt your fanmotor

oh i see..
isit possible to make my fan spinning from 2000rpm to 5000rpm?

That depends on the max speed rating of your fan, it should have it printed on it somewhere, label on the reverse maybe?

hmm..my fan din mention about that..it just saying this fan can run at 2000rpm. din mention about max.
fyi, my fan is cooler master 120mm led fan.

2000rpm will be its maximum recommended speed then,

@psyduck89

Just entirely for your personal knowledge the 30w per channel fan controller rating, is the maximum load it can handle per channel, meaning don't try running 50w total of fans on a 30w capable controller channel or you'll burn the controller up.

The controller only takes the electricity being fed to it, in this case 12v, and distributes and controls that voltage to the fans, usually by variable resistors.

It is designed to lower the supplied voltage from the power supply, and allow returning the voltage to its full power, as needed, controlling the speeds of the fans.

It does not have the capability to make a 2000rpm fan run at 5000rpm, unless the fan was capable of running 5000rpm in the first place.

Thanks for giving me such precious information. I was thought that the fan controller is something like a panel to boost our fan. thats why i worried it may burn my fan.
