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.

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?
