The bottom line: for some people, this product works well, for others: it doesn't. Regardless, I would recommend not using this product - it is too risky to bet your computer on a $40 fan controller. Case and point: Mine failed after about a month and when it did, all fans it was connected to ceased. This drove the Processor Thermal Margin to near zero (danger!). It's a far better plan to have fail-safe fan controllers than to buy this product.

We'll start with the positives: it is well built, it looks good in my case, and it has temp probes, and the cables are plenty long enough for any case I've ever used. Now, the cons: 1. The battery backup doesn't work. I have to reconfigure everything every time I shut the power off. I've tried swapping the battery, but it didn't help. 2. You can't configure min-max range for the fans. You can tell it what temp should trigger an alarm, but that's all it does. 3. The pulse fan throttling it uses isn't compatible with some fans.It makes my CM fans sound like they have something stuck in them. 4. While well constructed overall, it doesn't fit my case properly. There is a gap all the way around. Overall, I guess it does what it says it will, but I should have looked into the details more before purchasing it. I will put it in my son's rig since it is a set it and forget it thing, but I need something with more configuration options for myself.

Memory back up does not work. Has not worked since it was installed. Checked manufactures web page for help and read through the FAQs. I even changed the battery as suggested. Still wouldn't work. It loses date and time every time I shut the computer down and the alarm goes off at random times. I've e-mailed SilverStone 2 times now and received not 1 reply to either e-mails. Guess they're too busy cranking out their crap to worry about me.

Just got this today, so when installing it in a tool less case you have to use your head to mount it. When mounted it is centered and looks pretty good it could have a slightly wider faceplate but it is no worse then my DVD writer. I bought because it is automatic control and it also has the vents. Simple to hookup and looks great, but will allow you to hear more noise if your computer is on a desk top.

This is a really high quality product, the only thing i don't like is that you can't control the fans yourself through this, but besides that, it is an awsome product, even got shipped to me during a storm.

I give this 5-stars but partly because of tiger direct. The fan controller does everything its suppose to and is great looking. Its easy to install and the best bang for your buck. Many fan controllers are 70-80 dollars and this one is 38. The one thing is that Tiger is awesome at shipping fast. I ordered this at 4:45pm and got it THE NEXT DAY at 10:45 am. WOW!!! thats fast. Way to go Tiger!

What this does is worthy of the 5 stars; however, the device does not work exactly as intended. Certainly you should connect it to power and tape the three sensors to top of hard drive, top of case, side of cpu cooler (near base). But know that any digital fan controller can increase fan noise because of the a/c conversion sounds. Use a dial instead. This device is VERY WORTHWHILE in the top of your case. The really beautiful, expensive-looking appearance, live temperature monitor, pretty blue light, and clock are not the reason to buy it. The vents are. Just enough cool air will fill the top of your computer to SAVE the lives of your DVD writer and power supply. This is great!!! But, I still need a fan dial.

This is a great product. It keeps your case cool and will ramp up the speed on the fans as the case temps go up. Great display and very classy looking. Care is req'd when installing the CPU sensor.
