Fan Controller Suggestion

[giderac]

Hey i need a fan controller that will let me put my fans at a very low speed , i have a bunch of high speed late yoons and my vantec nexus only goes from 7v-12v and that leaves them too loud for my tastes. Anyone know of a cheap controller that can slow them down a bit?

Sunbeam Rheobus. About $15-$20 shipped. Goes from 0V-12V.

Check amazon for a 4 fan controller, brand Scythe. Should be $20 or so it works very nicely.

4 fan works fine you can always biggy back some of the fans for the same zone.

Um, get a Splitter cable and put two fans on one line and you'll have lower speeds instantly.

WTF? No.

How does that work? The fans are still running on 12V.... You need to wire the fans such that the two fans are in series, so each gets about 6V. No idea if this works very well, since I've never tried it. But at that point, it's easier to just run them on 5V anyways.
