    So with all this time on my hands I've started to do a few little jobs I've had on my list for a long while now. First up is a simple fan splitter so I can drive 6 fans in two groups for my 2x 360 rads from an Aquaero. I've seen this splitty thing they do but I figured I had enough bits around to knock something up.

    White and the one behind link for RPM reporting. Then the first of two connectors to go from the Aquaero to the splitter. To say how little this little project has been I have enjoyed my little self :)

    haha I don't doubt it but not worth the £200+ cost when I already have 2 perfectly good D5's and only 6 fans total :)

    That's fantastic! Are they just on a standard breadboard type thing?

    yeah lol, I've got all the stuff for etching my own boards etc but I figured really is overkill given the headers are just hooked up in parallel.

    I've got some thick electrical tape type stuff I've used to cover the top then pushed the headers through it, solder from the backside. Dad has been getting into resin work recently so I nabbed a bit of black dye so mixed in with some 2 part epoxy from a syringe and filled the back bit covering all the solder. As a lucky side effect this seemed to suck the take into the holes on the top leaving an almost golf ball effect which I thought was kinda cool.
