I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

There are case fans with a temperature sensor. They already control the speed themselves depending on the measurement. The only thing they need is 12V.

For example the Arctic F12 TC.

oh man. This is perfect. Thankyou.

I was actually looking at these on amazon but I mistakenly thought that the term "temperature controlled" included in the product name was just SEO bullshit, referring to the mobo controlling the temperature.

I see now that these ones do it themselves.

This is the way.
