Home brewed PWM works just fine on my home system, thank you. If you don't like the stutter or whine and you don't want to switch fan vendor or model, up the PWM frequency and stick a big cap on the output to turn it into a voltage controller.
abit of OT here, but should i use high wattage pots for PWM curcuits or can i just use normal pots which i use for my rheobus?
