digging this thread up for a little update
gone and bought myself a fan controller Lamptron FC tough
two reasons behind using this and not 7/5v reducers
1) I'm running 2500k@4.7 and 2x7970@1200/1800 all on water, reducing fans to 7v runs fine for a couple of hours of gaming but water temp slowly rises so gpu/cpu temps slowly rise to a point where they become unstable
2) running fans on 12v everything works great but all though the spectre's are fairly quiet they annoy the wife
the wife is terminally ill and one of the side affects is her sense of smell and her hearing are very heightened(if I fart in shed at bottom of garden 25 yards away she will hear and smell it
)
so the ideal was fans running slow for normal use browsing etc ramping up for gaming
the gaming happens in the afternoon when she's sleeping and she sleeps through it
right back to the playing dont think the controller is going to fit here somehow
O look at all that room at the bottom with the psu cover there is only the pump in there
the side brackets have to go nothing to fix them to anyway
cut opening in psu cover and made a face plate the aly bracket being trapped between the 2 to hold it all together
now cutting the wrap on the psu cover around the face plate may make sense it lets the light through and lights the edge of the face plate
now we got 15 fans in there normally running at 800rpm the pump slowed a bit to make it quieter and the leds dimmed
room temp 20-22C water normally 25-27C
set controller to 30C at that temp the fans ramp up to 1200rpm
pump also ramps up at 30C and just because I can do it at a water temp of 35C the leds will ramp up to 12v though I've not seen that yet unless I stick a finger on the temp probe
