Fan controller+LED Fan?

[sirmixalot42691]

Hello. I was thinking about buying a fan controller...something like this http://xoxide.com/rheobus4port.html I heard that when you use fan controllers with LED fans, they blink. Does anyone know if that's true? Thanks

well, a fan controller basically regulates the voltage going to the fans. So I would believe the LED's would have trouble functioning correctly if they're not getting the voltage they need. But do wait for others, as my computer's LED fan isn't connected to my fan controller.

My LED fans don't have any trouble with a fan controller. The LED's just go dimmer when the voltage is lowered.

Same here. I doesn't stop the voltage reaching the LED, just decreases the amount.

Yuep. I agree. My fan controller just make the LEDS a little bit dimmer, but not by too much.
