PCMODS.COM Fan Controlling Baybus Simple Question

[biofobia]

I just got the pcmods.com 4 switch .. 6watts perswitch fan controlling baybus and i was wondering ... how would i do it so i can put more than one fan per switch.. there is a little place when you put the black then red wire and use the srewdriver to press down on the wires... do i put more than 1 wire.. from each fan? for example.. like 3 wires in the red place and 3 in black.. or would connection be screwed up... or do i just use a molex splitter and connect the fans then just put the two wires from the splitted 3 fans?... or would both work?

Huh? I suppose you're asking how to control more than one fan with one of the knobs? Why dont you just get a Y connector (if they exist) or just get another wire and 3 pin plug or whatever you use and splice it into the current wires to make a permanant Y? The only problem i see with this is possibly overloading that one switch.

The splitter sounds like the way to go for two fans per switch. Just dont exced 6w. And whatever you do dont plug it in when the comp is on. I blew out one of the switches that way. Dumb I know.

As far as the 6w rating, this is really really low. I read a review of it on the net and a guy put nearly 50watts on one switch and gave up because he ran out of fans (of course the switch was damn hot but it still worked). You could probably run up to double the 6w without an impact to either heat or performance.

You can easily just put each of the wires into the block, but you need to make sure each one has metal to metal contact with the block, just line them up side by side stick them in and screw it down.
