Well, I understand that overloading the rheo is bad

right

I'm just saying, that with a 5W fan, I could use a much lower voltage rheostat that will work just as well

not lower voltage, lower wattage..

I just don't understand why they say that they are using a 3W Rheo for fans up to 10W.. Also on FrozenCPU's website, they say with the 15W Blizzard Rheo, they used fans up to 23W.

thats confusing, and a little out of my knowledge base

So basically, I would want a rheo that can handle more Watts than the fan will use, and the Ohms just says how much resistance the Rheo can do, which means how much the rheo will slow down the fan, right?

right again!
You're on the safe side as long as your devices (fans) wattage is lower or equal to the rheo wattage
