You may need two fan controllers...I'm seeing controllers that can only have six fan connected to it.

Wait, you could connect all your fans to the Swiftech splitter THEN connect it to a fan controller...or reconfigure things around. The only drawback is the fan connected to the splitter are all controlled by one "knob" on the fan controller.
