PCI Slot Fan Controller?

[jrack04]

I would like to add a single knob to control five 140mm case fans in my Fractal Arc Midi case. The case comes with a three fan controller but I've read that it is only rated to 10w. I am also out of available 5.25" drive bays so these are not an option. Does anyone know of a PCI slot fan controller that can control five 140mm fans with a single dial? TIA.

Thanks for the idea but I would like something adjustable from exterior of the case. I've seen some 3 pin power distribution pcbs but I don't know who I'm going to vary the voltage to the pcb. That is the only idea I have right now.

I don't know what I was thinking but I only need to control 4 fans.

This one says it can handle three fans, and includes an adapter to do so. Perhaps two of these, or gambling and using an adapter to add a fourth?

Alternately I notice that the one above mentions a 10W rating. This one:

advertises twice that. Doesn't mean it can handle 6 fans, but you might be willing to chance it. Again w/ some adapters (or some simple cutting & soldering if you have the tools).

What are your fans, and do you need to just downvolt and forget or do you need to actually adjust on the fly?

They are Yate Loon 140mm medium speed fans. I would like to adjust on the fly.
