Will this fan conrtoller handle these fans?

I´m getting the VL System Zephyrus and I was wondering if anybody here knew if it can handle powerfull fans like the Panaflo FBA12G12M and such fans...

The reason I ask?
Like in the link above there is a Warning...
Quote:
This HIGH wattage fan should NOT be plugged directly into your motherboard 3 pin connectors. You will risk burning the headers out. We recommend a 3 Pin Panaflo tail to connect directly to your PSU or to a fan controller.
So, I know that other fan controlers like this one can handle it. But what about the VL System Zephyrus?

Thanks

Never seen anything like that, looks interesting. It'd be nice to see some specs, doesn't say if there are any limitations to what it can handle & their site seems to be down.

Here is the companies site:

And yes, I too like my Rheobus. But I never found one I like that is a fan controller and a temp. monitor.

I can't find anywhere where it says what kind of wattage that will handle, but I would assume that running off of a pci slot you'd be fine. Maybe an e-mail to them & ask?

Me neither

Hehe, you just reminded me of another strange thing about this Zephyrus thing.
On the manufactorers site they state that the Zephyrus requires:
Quote:
Serial port - Available Free 1 Serial port
5.25" Bay - Free one slot
Ok I understand the needed free serial slot (but i´m thinking of hiding this thing somewhere in the case. BUT why a free 5.25" bay? I´ve checked review and the installadion process and there isn´t a front bay included.
It does say that it supports an LCD 16x2, 20 x 2. But why have that 5.25" in "System requirements" when only getting this package?

**Edit**
Ah...the hell with it. I´ll just buy this thing and the fans!
If it won´t handle the fans then that´s just $50 donw the drain. Not that bad.
What´s worse is that the shipping will be alot...hehe. As i´m in Iceland
