the channel wattage refers to how much power the each individual knob (Rheostat) can handle. a typical 120mm fan is about 4-8 watts. larger fans (200mm+) are around 8-15 watts. as you slow the fans down the excess power is absorbed and dissipated by the Rheostat. in most of my builds, I tie like fan model and Purpose fans all on one channel. example:

2 x NZXT 120 mm intake front fans - channel 1
1 x NZXT 200mm side intake fan - Channel 2
1 x 120 mm rear exhaust fan - Channel 3
2 x 140 mm top exhaust fans - channel 4

6 fans 4 channels using a Scythe Kaze Master Pro 5.25 Fan Controller 6 x 12watts channels ( I have 2 spare channels )
to put more than 1 fan per channel you will need a 3 pin "Y" splitter cable.

ZALMAN, NZXT and Scythe are good Fan controllers, I have built with those several times. 1ST PC CORP seems to get good reviews also, but I haven't built with one of theirs before

you want 10 - 12 watts per channel to do 2 x 80-140mm fans on each. following the above example you only need a 4 channel controller.

these are all good picks 4-6 Channels:

I use the NZXT Sentry Mix and am very satisfied.

Its out of stock on Newegg and Amazon though, you may have to search elsewhere for it.

The 50W or 30W per channel means how much power can be delivered through each output. You shouldnt have to worry about this unless you have abnormal fans or are trying to chain multiple off the one channel.

how many fan i can use on one channel????

 

[manofchalk]

It says it has a max power output of ~30W. So 10W a channel. You could maybe have 2 fans on the one channel. If you do this you wont have much room to adjust them, if you go too low they will both just stop.
Depends on the fan though.

Wouldn't put 3 fans on the same channel (2)

Why ask for fan controller recommendations, then ignore them and buy something totally different?
