Fan Controller = 8w, Fans > 8w
Last response: in Overclocking
This is sorta a water cooling question but it mostly involves the fans in my water cooling setup so I'm posting it here. I ordered four 'Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm x 25mm Fan - 4250 RPM'. I also ordered a 'AeroCool X-Vision Fan Controller / 5 Channel / Temp Sensor - Black' which supports 8w per channel. I am aware I will not be able to run my fans at max speed but will it work at like half speed?
More about : fan controller fans
It should startup just fine. All fans have a much higher startup current(something the controller makers take into consideration) then running current.
As long as you do not get the faster fans(5,400 rpm @ 13.68 watts), you can use one fan per channel on that unit safely.
Ohh link here too.
