Fan Controller

[Matt_Twinkletoes]

So I purchased some be quiet fans a while back and they were surprisingly louder then my $5 default case fans, I would have refunded them but it would have cost me $10 to send it back so I decided I would use them elsewhere. So I was wondering if there is some type of fan controller I can get to control the 3 pin be quiet fans because they're too loud for my liking and I would like to install them in my PC and put them to use but they're just too loud.

NZXT has a decent selection...

If you have an external drive bay available, there are many options.

Get something like the NZXT GRID+?

Non-PWM be quiet fans?

If you're going to go there, just go all the way and drop 2$ more on the pwm skew

 

Anyway, there are a ton of 5 1/4" drive bay slotted fan controllers out there. A quick browse on pcpp will show you this, http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/fan-controller/#sort=a7&page=1

Not with a controller. You plug the fans into that, not your motherboard.

 

Expansion bay controllers are manually operated. Something like the Grid+ by NZXT is an internal controller that you connect to your motherboard and control with software.

 

Choice is yours.
