Just watch the total 'on' time tho, if battery is also used to power your t'scope. (Best with a separate battery).

Thanks for the info Laurie,

This is the configuration of the fans that I am planning on using the controller on.
There are three 4cm fans and one 12cm.
I'm guessing I might need two separate controllers?
