Whats the best way to control 7 case fans ??
Im going to use 7 Case Fans in my new Lian-Li PC-65 case.
2 80mm front intake 2 80mm side intake 1 120mm top outlet 2 80mm back outlet Whats the best setup to control them? a BayBus can only control up to 6 fans right ? 2 baybus's? 1baybus 1 rhoebus ? |
do you want to be able to just turn them off or also adjust their RPM's?
i think rheobus is the right way to do it but the rheostats takes up more space than a simple switch how about this... have the fans near the front hooked up to a rheobus you can try to make it yourself try to fit 5 rheostats onto one 5.25" plate or try the zalman one which has 4 rheobus and 2 switches then make some switches on a pci backplate or more rheostats on a floppy plate up to you |
I want to be able to control the RPM on all of them. I want to have four lights inside also. will have have enough space to plug them all in also ? or can i use the BayBus to power them ? if you havent figured out by now, im new to this.

what happens is that each fan has 2 power cords. You only need to plug it in once then they go in a string of cords. so you only plug 1 cord from the power supply

usually a rheobus or a baybus have a molex plug
and it distributes power to the fans it is connected to for cold cathode lights, they need inverters and usually invertors goes to a molex plug too some rheobus such as the vantec nexus nxp-305 fan and light controller has 3 fan rheobuses and 1 light rheobus which i think is controlling molex for the fan maybe you should go visit the computer stores and take a look at the physical designs of each rheobus/baybus and decide what is best for you you will need 2 inverters btw for 4 lights which comes with the lights so you will need to have 2 switches for them cold cathode light kits from sunbeam comes with a switch for every stick of light you buy, along with the inverter and mounting hardwares you can just follow the guide and drill a hole and mount the switch onto your case |
Can i hook up two led fans to one port on a BayBus ??
|
