    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?

    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...

    This next bit isn't what your after exactly, but gives you an idea of what and why some sensors are better than others. (also technickel)
