I currently have a Gatewatch Aerocool but would like more control over when my fans ramp up to control noise. I want the control to be Automatic not manual. I have seen several people recommend SpeedFan. From the posts I have read it seems this SW can control fans when the sensors are monitored by the MB and the fans are attached to a MB fan header. But what about other case fans / GPU fans not monitored by the MB, is there a way to have SpeedFan monitor additional sensors and control fans based on the addl sensors?

What about T-balancer, anyone have experience with this? This seems to have external sensor capability but is a tad expensive. Any other benefit over SpeedFan?

Is there alternative solutions for what I want to do?

Most if not all modern motherboards have at least two controllable fan headers, which should be enough. In my system I have my CPU fan and two exhaust fans controlled by SpeedFan, based on CPU and system temperatures. As far as I know SpeedFan can't interact with GPU fans but all newer cards seem to have pretty good auto control over their fans.

T-balancer would work.

Try the forums at silentpcreview.com. I'm sure u can find plenty of people with exp with the T-Bal there.
