Testing

The advertised specifications of the Reeven Six-Eyes fan controller are listed as one amp per channel. Unlike many other review sites, we concentrate more on the amperage rather than the watts. However, if we know the equation (see below), we can conclude that each channel has 12 watts.

If the volts and the amperage are known, but not the Watts, then we use the formula below:

For Example:

Watts = Voltage x Amps 

P = E x I
Example: 2.2 AMPS multiplied by 12v = 26.4watts

If the wattage and the voltage is known, but not the amperage, then we can obtain the latter mentioned by the use of the following formula.

Example:

AMPS = Watts / Voltage
I = P ÷ E
Example:
30 WATTS =divided by 12v = 2.5 AMPS 

So to sum up to find the wattage specification as it is not listed on the box we use this formula.

12 Volts X Amps

12 volt input

1 AMP per channel

= 12 WATTS

There we go -  simple and elementary maths to find the missing specifications.

To push the amperage tolerance to its maximum, we utilised a differing procedure, rather than by simply attaching as many fans onto one channel as possible. We connected a Liang DDC water cooling pump on one channel and a XSPC 750 bay reservoir on another. Both of these run on 10 watts, and they have a constant operating amperage of  0.83 at full speed. On initial start-up that can easily spike to a full amp or even slightly over that amount, and as a result we feel that this is a great test to put a strain on the Six-Eyes fan controller.
