    Fan controller vs non adjustable fans.

    Okay, so most likely a dumb question, but, the fans that are not adjustable, if connected to a controller, then I can control RPMs?????

    I would like to think that I could, but I wanted to ask, if someone knows.


    Thanks,

    just to elaborate, the fan controller just varies the voltage that goes through the fan. and Power=VoltsxAmps so if your lowering the voltage its going to be putting out less power therefore spinning slower.

    id say go for it, i got a vantec one b4 and 2 of the 4 controls blew up when the fan had an issue. i dont know if im the only one but ya.. that sucked. the other 2 still work

    and yes... they BLEW up. that bigger sized square resistor type piece exploded and i found fragments at the bottom of my case. threw out those fans SO fast.

    leds are a little bright but it is a top basic 4 fan controller. I LOVE it, i wish it was 9.99 back when i bought mine.
