Sentry Mix 2 running 12 fans will it work?

acl_13

I was wondering if it was even possible to run 12 fans with a Sentry Mix 2? the way I'm thinking of is by geting some 2 way fan splitting cables to double the amount of fans. I just don't know if all the fans can run properly

As long as the fans are under the wattage limit of the entire controller (think it's 30 watts divided across the 6 channels) then it will be fine. Otherwise, no.

unless you're using Delta fans or something, you're fine.

Sentry 2 mix is a good controller...use one myself.  You have 30 watts per channel @ 6 channels for a total of 180 watts.....12 fans should be good if you don't overload one channel.  Got mine broken out by zones (ex. top fans on one, etc.).  Plus adds just enough "look at me" to the front of your case....good luck.
