Can I hook two 140mm fans on this?

[Tullphan]

According to the specs:
The Sunbeam has 4 independent channels. It is not limited to controlling 4 fans, however. Each voltage channel can be shared via splitters with more than one fan. As the power rating per channel is a generous 20W, this means a combination of fans rated for a total of up to 1.67 Amps can be accommodated on each channel. That's as long as the total 12V rating of the PC's power supply is not exceeded.
I have a Corsair HX520 PSU. The periphials I have hooked up are 2 HDD's, 2 DVD-R/W's, 7900GT, a floppy, and the rheobus. I'm using the Coolermaster RC690 w/4 140mm fans (Y-L), 3-120mm fans & one 80x15 fan. I'm wanting to hook 2 of the 140mm fans to one channel, two 140mm fans to another, one 120mm to the third, and the 80x25 to the 4th channel. The 120mm intake & exhaust will be hooked onto the motherboard.
Think i'd have any problems?
Thanks in advance.

whats the fan wattage
why do you use so many fans?
better to use a few less and save on noise.
rheobus can only do so much, additional fans even if low rpm will add to noise output and probably not give much additional cooling if at all assuming your case is organized and decent

According to the specs here, they're 2.0 watts for the 140mm. I believe the 120mm's are 120mA, but i'll have to ask Zepper to be sure.

I dunno...hehehe...I guess 'cause it's got the capability.

I'd like to think my case is organized. The 690 really helps to allow for that.

ah yea, most fan controllers have more capacity than most will ever need.
no one sane uses tornado fans anymore
use some electrical tape and seal up gaps and empty or fans you shut off and try to direct air flow with less fans.. less noise. less power consumption 120/140 fans are awesome stuff, and the point is to reduce total fans with them.

The 120mm SL and SM are both 0.3A at full speed on nominal voltage (12V). The jab-tech.com product page lists the current specs. No problem with the proposed setup. You could put up to 5 yate loons per channel on the sunbeam rheobus.

The 140SMs are marked 0.7A, so two of them per channel is it.
