Another question for you knowledgeable people!
I've got a Digidoc 5, which does exactly what it says on the tin, but I find the constant on/off/on/off of the fans annoying. You know, the GPU (or whatever) gets to the preset temp, the Digidoc fires up the fan and 2 seconds later the temp is down enough for the fan to turn off. Repeat cycle endlessly.
I have tried moving the sensors about which helps, but the problem is built into the way Digidoc works.

So, I have come across this;
Ioss RD7 System aftercooler (http://www.ioss.com.tw/web/English/RD7%20CA.htm)

It's a timer to keep fans running for a few minutes after a pc is shut down. But it would be perfect to keep the Digidoc fans running long enough to really cool things down - enough to stop the constant on/off cycle.

Just need some sort of relay/timer device to be triggered by the 12v supply from the Digidoc but power the fan itself for a few minutes.

Any idea if this 'aftercooler' could be modified? Or is there a better way?!

Thanks,

Som
