It’s an age old problem. Overclocking creates more heat, which requires additional cooling, which requires additional fans, which creates more noise. A good way to deal with this problem is to be able to slow down or turn off some fans when they are not required. Sunbeam's Rheobus Easy Fan Controller lets you do just that. A big thanks to
Xoxide for sending the unit.
A rheobus is simply an array of rheostats (a device that regulates current by varying the resistance) for control of electronic devices. This particular rheobus from Sunbeam includes 4 rheostats, but that is not to imply that it can only control four fans. Each channel can provide 20 watts of output, so you can connect as many fans as you like, so long as the load does not exceed the 20 watts.
The contents of the box include the following:
• The rheobus assembly
• Molex Y power adaptor (in case you're low on connectors)
• A bag of screws (for mounting to your 5.25 drive bay)
• Installation and operation instruction sheets
