Question about the 6 XT and its capabilities with PWM fans

Monday, November 18th 2013, 2:26am

Sorry for such a noob question as I am very new to all of this. I have 2 radiators with 6 PWM fans on each and I have a temp sensor on the outlet of each radiator. I am wanting to control the fan speeds based off of the temp from the sensor.

So would I have to hook 6 fans into 1 channel on the 6 XT and then use the temp signal to control that channel, and is that possible? Also would it control the fans via PWM?

Thank you so much, :rolleyes:
Chris

if you in total have just 12 fans (2x 6) you can also put 3 on each channel.
with the curve controller you can take 1 (or more if you make virtual temps) temp to control 1 or more fan channels.

about the pwm part, i'm not sure, logic dictates it should work.

Sorry to resurrect my old thread, but I am now able to buy the 6XT but have one question. What do I use to connect 3 fans into one channel? My fans are GELID PWM fans with just a 4 pin connector.

You'll need a couple of Wyes like these:

But the channel connectors on the 6XT are 4 pin and all my fans are 4 pin connectors.

Sorry, I referenced the wrong cable. You are absolutely correct. No 3 pin, but all 4 pin that only have the RPM signal on one leg.

Here you go:
