I really like it, I just wish there was a way I could see the fan rpm's aswell, but then again I guess I'd get used to where the "levers" needed to be for gaming/ silence/ etc.

would something like this fit your needs? it is designed for both air and water.

You kids and your fancy controllers.

Ha, I don't even own one, I was looking at the t-balancers for my next upgrade.

In response to all the NZXT reccomendations.I'm not a big fan of the NZXT controllers. Maybe the new ones are different, but I've had a couple and they (and no, it wasn't the fans) whined pretty bad if it was anything but 100% or the minimum of 40%. They worked, but they whined.

Plus, the minimum of 40% was annoying. But most lower-cost controllers have that.

As for a recommendation, I'd go with the Fractal Design Adjust 108. It looks amazing, has 36 watts per channel,and excellent build quality.

If you want manual fan controll go for something like the bitfenix hydra or the fractal adjust 108 and use splitters, both have enough wattage to power all of the fans. if you want automatic the t-balancer bigNG is good but a pain in the a*se to setup. i believe aquaero makes a good automatic fan controller aswell.

I presume your're from the US, in which case I really don't know where you could find one. Here in Finland they are available almost everywhere.

Lame.......... I like it a lot too, and it's brushed aluminum so it'll match my 900D.. :(  I may have to get the fractal design adjust 108 instead. I can buy it from scythe's website but idk how much shipping would be since it's from EU I think, and I don't see where the option is to get silver or black so idk.

 

 

Edit: here's the site but it won't open anything when I click buy now http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/Fan%20con/001/ScytheUSA-ProductsKQ01-5.25.html#

Ever thought about running them over a Fan Splitter and connecting this fan splitter to a fan controller? I gotta be honest, I don't know if this would work, but the first that came to my mind. They're actually fairly cheap, there are options from Phobya, Swiftech and Bitspower.

I still need a fan controller then lol.

Yes, but you could save some money, as you don't need some Uber - Fan Controller with 9001 Channels with 12 Gigawats per Channel (Note: Reply contains sarcasm)

Can you link me the sites if there are any? I just looked at every single US site and like 10 UK sites, all are discontinued :/

the controller I was looking at is only 30$ lol

That Adjust 108? Yeah, that would be something I would recommend. If you're looking for a touchscreen than the Lamptron FC Touch, offers 30W per Channel as well

Yeah the adjust 108 has 36watts per channel and has 6 channels, by channels they mean it can do 6 fans? But if I y split each one I can do 12 fans in theory? If so I may do that because.. I think I'll have something like.... 4 on rad #1 4 on rad #2 and probably 4 other fans for intake/exhaust. So I'll need to be able to control 12. I wish it'd say on the adjust 108 if there was an option to turn the fans off all together, but it doesn't  :9

Yeah, that would be absolutly possible, especially because it has such a high wattage support.

LOL OK I go to like 15 diff sites and it says fractal design discontinued the 108.......................................... Why are you doing this to me :(

[Lays]

Found 2 sites that sell it, heatsink factory and "comet supply" I've never heard of comet supply but its cheaper there by 10$ so I guess I'll buy it lol

 

inb4 scam

Yeah, I could've told you that before :D

Again, the FC Touch maybe the choice for you then. 30 Watts are still plenty to run 2 fans on one header.
