Just is i'am getting a Vantec NXP-205-SL fan controler, but its only
got 4 fan controlers on it.

The two fans i want to link are my two rear exhast fans, as they
should be working as ONE fan anyway.

Just like to know, wish their was a plug that i could use, so i didn't
have to do the wiring myself.

Thanks.

I take it it only has one knob ?

If i have two connected to one knob on my Vantec Nexus, would that be
ok, i think the maxium is 18watts for one knob

I just want to connect 2 80mm fans to the one knob.

Thanks.

It has 4 knobs + 2 switches.

Just one Zalman CPU fan to another knob. Other two knobs and two switches
are empty. Started out this way because out of all the 4 to 3 pin adaptors
I bought, only one worked (it was missing the speed sensor wire and the case
fans are not equipped with sensors). But, I like this arrangement better
because I only have to turn two knobs to go from quiet to jet-engine-loud.
It would suck to have to turn 4 knobs and flick 2 switches, every time.

I suppose.

I'am thinking of getting the Vantec Nexus

It lights up BLUE WOW.

Its got all the cables, 4 of them, Big molex to micro molex
converters, thats what i need, well for all my case fans, two rear,
one front, and maybe a side, top and bottom fan, now that i know i can
connect more than one to a knob

But also i want to connect my Vid card fan and my CPU fan to a knob,
the diagram i saw on the site, has a passthough cable to allow it to
connect to the cpu fan, looks cool.

Just got to figure out what fans to connect to what knobs.

I was also thinking of hooking the fans upto on off swtiches as well,
so i can turn all the fans off if i want, but not for the cpu fan,
wont tempt fate their.


I was thinking getting some of those fighter plane switches you know
the ones you flick up to allow you access to the switch


All i need is some audio mod that says STEALTH MODE ACTIVATED HE HE.

Also some of those Knight rider Kit strobe lights and some neon
lights, and i can have a REAL geek out of a pc.



Ive already got my cordless, mouse and keyboard.

Ive gone on TOOO much, time to stop,........... Someone please stop
me.

Bye.

one port.......

How many watts does a normal 80mm fan do ???

Usually, around 0.5Amp (x12V = 6Watts)

Anyway, I don't think this applies. If it did, my controller would be toast
right now (5 fans, would be about 25-30Watts on one channel!). I don't
believe that the Wattages combine to make a 'grand total' except where the
PSU is concerned. Been awhile since I took physics. But, I don't think
it's cumulative. More, rather, what ever the highest wattage in the chain
is.

I would only connect 2 or maybe three to any one anyway, so i'am not
in any trouble.

Thanks.
