Is there a rheostat that can handle the load these loud things require? I orderd my water cooling stuff the other day because I am loosing my hearing from all the fans it takes to keep my rig cool. I would like to use a couple of rheostats to slow down the two 120mm YS-Tech fans in my case. I plan on using them on the radiator when I get my stuff in. All I have heen able to find is rheostats rated up to 5w and the fans are like 7.9w each. If I can use a 5w without burning it up I will, but I dont want to take a chance unless I have too. I need some help with this!!
