Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade my rig/cooling.
Currently I've got a NZXT Phantom 630 with a built in fan controller on the back of the motherboard tray.
In this case ive got a simple 360mm rad to cool the cpu.
Im going to upgrade to the HAF stacker and have 2 360mm rad's and to cool my gpu as well.
Simple question is:
What fan controller should i buy to control all 6 fans?
Not that it should matter but I live in the UK so if you could find a UK page then that would be fantastic.
Thanks for your help.

That case is way better than the cm stacker in every way. I would highly advise to stick with the 630. It is such a great case and you'll regret going to the c.o.d case haf stacker.
Your wc rad options are as follows:
Roof 120.3 or 140.2
Front 120.2
Rear 120.1 or 140.1
Base 120.2 or 140.2
(source - oc3d review - http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/nzxt_phantom_630_review/1)
Which is more than enough for a cpu plus a gpu (or 2).
As for controlling fans - just stick to voltage reducers to run at a voltage that will give you the temp/noise level that is desirable. Either that or do something like 3 into 1 fan extension then to a mb header then control via bios / software (if applicable). I cant recommend a fan controller as I dont see the need for them.
Ok, I really want to give this build a go so thank you for your suggestion.
Its not only because of more cooling but also for a kind of test/exploration.
As I have only done this one W/C build before so I would like to give it a go.
And many thanks, I think I will do a PWM based control as suggested.
Thank you.
