FanAmp is especially designed for 1-channel-fan systems, for semipassive 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 controlable 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

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

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. ..."
