Product Description & Info
FanAmp is especially designed for 1-channel-fan systems, for semi passive
cooled systems and for safety fans in passive cooled systems. The FanAmp is easy
adjustable with 2 poties. FanAmp makes it also possible to convert the mainboard
signals (7-12V) into a wider range from 0-12V. This features makes zero fan
speed controllable with any mainboard tool. The mainboard will also be released
from supplying power to the fan. The Fanamp is connected separately with the
power supply and can deliver 25W permanent power.
- release the mainboard from supplying power for fans
- separate power supply for fans and water pumps with permanent analog 25W
- converts mainboard signals from 7-12V to 0-12V
- an analogue thin foil sensor activates 100% speed over a certain
temperature limit
Features
- 2 knobs for temperature limit and standard speed
- supplies 25 Watt permanent and analog for fan or pump
- converts mainboard signals from 7-12V to 0-12V
temperature limit
The hottest spot can be monitored with the thin foil temperature sensor. You
can adjust with the right knob the exact temperature, where the FanAmp speed the
fan up to 100%. If the temperature falls back under the limit, the speed will be
reduced after a while (build-in delay/ Hysteresis).
speed
If there is no input signal connected, the left knob adjusts the speed of the
fan between 0 and 100%. If you have a fan, which is able to move very slowly
(like the X12 with 50rpm), then you can make your fan inaudible.
power
The FanAmp will be connected separately to the power supply. The voltage
converter on the mainboard will be released and can provide their full power to
the processor and other components.
With 25W permanent analog power you can also run several fans in parallel or
control a 12V water pump. The short-time power (for example during start-up of a
water pump) of the FanAmp is more than a 550W power supply can provide.
signal
spreader
Most of the mainboards can control the speed of the connected fans between 7V
and 12V with either the BIOS or Mainboard tools. But with 7V a fan still runs
fast. FanAmp can convert the mainboard signal from 7-12V into 0-12V. It makes
the usable range bigger and allows a complete stop of the fan.
software control
With motherboard tools, like MSI Core Center or Speedfan you can add more
options to control fan speed from zero to the maximum!

"The FanAMP is worth
the small price tag. If you are an over clocker, or fiddle around with
some of your computer electronics their site will interest you. I would
recommend the FanAMP to anyone who likes to tinker around, or who just
loves to have more control of there PC. " |
"... In use I found it easy to set up. It's a pretty simple device and
the temperature range is more than adequate - it can be set for temps
between 20°C to 120°C. I set the temp such that when I held the
thermistor in my hand, the fan kicked up to 100%. I tried this
repeatedly for about five minutes and it kicked on every time. Simple to
set up and use - mCubed's Fan Amp gives users a means to isolate 12 volt
devices and control them based on temperature...."
"As expected, installation
of this product was a breeze. All one had to do was connect a 4-pin
molex for power and plug the fan into the fan header (left side). If RPM
monitoring was desired, then the other 3 pin connector would be
connected to the motherboard for use with the appropriate software....
For those of you who like to have silent computers, this little amp can
be a godsend. The obvious disadvantage of this system of course is that
you would need one per fan which is likely not the best way to go.
However, if you need just a single 12V device to be tempurature
controlled, this amp could be the ticket. It's simple and just plain
works. ..." |
