Hello everybody,
I'll receive my DG-87 this week and I have a question concerning the fan controler.
Basically we can plug 6 different fans on the fan controler but can we plug more ?
I planned to add two watercooling radiators in push/pull with 14 fans in total !
Can I plug 2 or 3 fans by channel in the factory DG-87 fan controler ?
Is this fan controle compatible with PWM ? There is perhaps in another solution with SwifTech 8 Ports PWM Splitter.
I didn't see any comment in the manual... Somebody have an idea ?
Many thanks in advance

    14 fans, no. You'll want a powered controller like the 8 port swiftech. Also note that the built in controller is not a pwm controller. so if you are getting pwm fans you will not be able to use those controllers anyway. Lastly, keep in mind that your radiators can not be larger than 30mm thick for push/pull, unless you get slim fans but they are not good for radiators.

    You can change all your fans from 12v to 6v.

    That's exactly I wanted to know.
    I think I'll take 2x SwifTech 8 Ports PWM Splitter to optimize the cooling via motherboard.
    Concerning radiators, I will take Hardware Labs Black ICE Nemesis 420GTS for the top & Hardware Labs Black ICE Nemesis 420GTX for the front. According my calculation, that must be OK with 25mm thick fans.
    Many thanks for your advices.
