These are compact devices, similar to a USB hub. One good alternative is to use a simple fan hub controller. Depending on your setup, this may not be ideal. But they also take up a lot of space in the case, and occupy a 5.25-inch drive bay.
You don’t need to mess around with adjusting your BIOS or running third-party software to change the speed. These controllers are a great choice if you want to have manual control over your fans. Recently, we reviewed some front panel fan controllers. If you want to run more fans, you need a secondary fan controller to plug them all in. Most motherboards have a maximum of two fan controllers. But this presents its own set of hurdles. But these will only work if you have the right kind of case.įor most people, the best option is to install multiple internal fans. Another option is to add some external cooling fans. However, these can be complex and difficult to install. First, you could use a liquid cooling system. Suppose you’re rocking a slick gaming rig with an overclocked processor, dual GPUs, and RGB lighting? In that case, you have a few different options. But suppose you don’t have an average PC. For most PCs, one or two fans, along with the GPU fan, is sufficient to keep your PC cool. Processors in particular can get hot enough to fry an egg – or the internal circuitry.
If I plug the fans directly to the motherboard connector, they work (though obviously they run at maximum speed and are very noisy).It’s no secret that computers can get hot. So now I've replaced the PSU and everything works fine, except the FSC: The case fans do not rotate at all. I noticed a charred smell coming from the PSU. Then a week ago the PC suddenly shut off and wouldn't turn on anymore. The FSC was connected to a 3-pin case fan header on the motherboard and then connected to a 1-to-2 fan splitter where the connectors for the two fans were plugged in.Īt some point it became mechanically faulty and I replaced it with a very cheap manual FSC (Gelid FC-MC01-B), which worked fine for some months. My PC came with a manual fan speed controller (FSC) for the front and back case fan.
