Fan controller (A special one)

[Thomieboy]

Hello,

 

I'm searching for a fan controller for my 3 fans. But.. On startup they must run on 12v for a second or two and then go to the sellected speed. 

I really, really..... hope someone can help me. Any form is good a 5.25 bay one or just a little box etc.

 

Thanks in advance

why not use a pwm splitter, that way your fans will always start.

I m pretty shure my nzxt LXE does start at 12v.

the nzxt lx ans sentry 2 might also do the same.

My fans are 3 pins,so no PWM for me. And I searched around and find a lot of bad review with these 3 NZXT fan controllers? Any idea why? Still, thanks, the sentry 2 is interesting

they do not keep your settings for fan speeds or the hour, it s very annoying and i would get another fan controller if possible.

getting new (and better) fans and a pwm splitter is probably cheaper than a fan controller btw.

a splitter is 5$, fans can be had for 10$, a controller is about 45$, so 4 new fans seams better to me.

I'm currently using a Sentry 2, and no matter the settings on the manual sliders, the fans run 100% for about 5 seconds after power on.

 

I love this controller so far, running 3x corsair SP120 and 3x 140mm fans.

Well, those 3 I have are Noctua NF-A14 ULN those costed me more than 80$ (europe).

Soo, when pushing the power button the fans run on 100% for 5 seconds then go down to the selected speed you set before ? If yes,  I will buy that one.

Scythe Kaze Master II? It has a nice simple design, 4 dials so you could add more fans, temp probes and spinup 12v

The Sentry Mix 2 is really good, as someone else says the fans will run at 100% during start up, but this happens with any fan connected to the PC. I personally thought a touchscreen for fan speed was slightly overkill.

Either way, the sentry mix  2 only has 2 pins, so it'll work fine with your fans.

Made a video, I believe this is the behavior you are wanting:

Interesting, I saw that one before because you can hide away the knobs. I will keep it in mind, thank you!

That is exactly what I wanted, it looks good also and is not that expensive.
