Fan Controller?

Dagger99 · Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2003 10:57 pm Post subject: Fan Controller?

I read an article about the Vantec NXP-205 fan controller. It was mentioned that the lights vary in intensity and fade as the fan speed is lowered. It then went to say that the Mitron RH-35 was a better choice since the lights stayed constant as the speed was adjusted. Anyone have any experence with the Mitron RH-35?

No, I haven't but I would like the LED's dimming per the fan speed for reference.

What's the point of having LED's then if they serve no purpose.

I have both of these. The NP-205 doesn't fade with fan RPM. And it only controls one fan.

The Aerogate is a nicer unit in my opinion. It has 4 temp probes and can control 4 fans.

But just remember opinions are like mustangs, every one has one =)

[EDIT:

I stand corrected I was thinking of the wrong item from vantec I was thinking of the NXP-101. So disregard earlier info on the "NP-205" ( I even got the model number wrong)

I will sit quietly in the corner now : EDIT]

I'll recomend the NXP 205... http://www.jab-tech.com//customer/product.php?productid=1821&partner=gk22coe

This one is great, it puts out enough watts on each channel to run my tornados at full speed

What would happen if you hooked 2 fans to run on 1 controller?

What I meant to say was what if you had 2 fans hooked together and tried to run them off 1 dial using 5 fans in total.

i cant remember what would happen but it would either run the two fans at the same speed - dividing the power among the two fans.... or run the two fans at the right speed but drain the power also... i think... i dunno its 3 am. and i should sleep

You would have to see the watt capacity of each dimmer and/or switch.

You can't overload them or they will blow.
