i have 6 fans, and my motherboard only can control 3, so i plan on getting a fan controller, and i ive been researching some. i plan on getting this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998038 ive been reading about it, and there are temperature sensors, but how do they work? can somebody tell me how the sensor temps work? what do i need to get the sensors working if i do get the controller?
the sensors on those aren't accurate don't report the right temp. i would get this one instead. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999171 i have a similar version and it works great.
that was my alternative choice, but the one i linked just looks cool because it shows the rpm and temps. how off are they and how does it actually work?
This is a little "technical" for me but... I got the info here.. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/231470-29-controllers-work This next bit isn't what your after exactly, but gives you an idea of what and why some sensors are better than others.
