Fan controller with 6 slots

[Madscream]

Hello.
I did buy a http://www.scytheus.com/product/kaze-master-pro-5-25/ fan controller.
It got slots for 6 fans, is it possible to split all 6 channels and run 12 fans on this?

gonna use 2x http://www.corsair.com/en/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-fans/air-series-sp120-high-performance-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan.html on some channels.

Yes, it will work. Power = Voltage * Current - that fan draws .18 Amps, so power is 12V*.18 = 2.16W. With two of them you're looking at 4.32 W which is well below the 12 W per channel.

I also have a fan controller and had to run the same calculation, though my fan controller is 30W per channel. I put 6 fans on 3 channels and left the last 3 unused. I've got one channel for 2X140mm fans for cpu radiator, 2X200mm case fans, and 2X120mm case fans. In my opinion, it's easier than manually turning down/up all 6 channels vs only having to manually change 3.

thanks for the response

This dosnt mean max 1 ampere on whole controller and max 12w per channel?

No - so the the max output is 12V, so 12V * 1A = 12W. So 1 Amp and 12 Watts are the same thing - it would be like saying "max. 1 foot and max. 12 inches". I think they do that because when looking at some fan specs, sometimes they give it in watts, and sometimes they give it in amperes.
