Need to quiet down my tornado.......with this??

[XRdirtHead]

Will This be ok to use with my tornado. It has 3 pin connectors and I'm guessing it would be ok to use a 3 to 4 pin adapter to connect the tornado. I'll also be connecting 4 case fans to it.

it doesn't tell you how many watts each channel is rated?

if I remember correctly, the tornado is like 6 or 7 watts.

I say just get rid of it and buy a ystech.

sheet.....really....I just set up two computers with a tornado and a sk-7.......
just looking to quiet things down.....
any other options as far as just trying to have control over the tornado from the front panel..?

Try the Vantec Nexus 201 Fan controller it supports Vantec Tornado's

Thanks Cesar.
Since I need to control 4 case fans also, would it be ok to use one knob to contol two fans?

each knob on the NXP-201 can handle 18w total. a standard 80mm fan takes about 3-4w. the 80mm tornado takes about 9w, the 92mm tornado takes about 12w. (I should know, I have both of them within arms reach, and I'm holding the 80mm tornado in my hand right now...)

when you do this stuff, look at wattage (or amperage).

I have a pair of 120mm panaflos up front and a pair of 90mm panaflos in the rear....I'll have to find out how much they draw.
