Cons:
- Very expensive but at least you pay for quality. I price-matched it to a little less but still..- Why not 2 "Y" cable instead of just 1 ?!
Pros: - The best looking fan controller... BY FAR!!!- Super high quality, no cheap plastic, it's a real aluminium plate.- It's 5 channels but it can control up to 6 through one Y cable.- Cool leds that change according to the speed of ur fan, it adds style without being too flashy/annoying or ugly.- Works as expected. Comment:
I've check all the fan controller on this site and this one is the only good looking I've seen. Glad it fit perfectly with my Corsair 800D as the front plate is made of the same material. It was a dream to have a great FC instead of cheap (Zalman Fanmates 2) for each of my fans like I use to have in my previous case so I finaly bought this since I got a new case. I've plug 1 cpu fan, 2x140mm from my Corsair 800D and 3x120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm so I get the best airflow possible without being loud.I recommand it to anybody with a black case. Nothing beat this unit! |

Cons:
-The Y-Cable I received was not properly connected
Pros: -Looks Great-Works Great-Fairly Easy install Comment:
I has a Sentry LX, and after 5 batteries dieing in a 6 month period, decided to try something more simple. This is perfect. I am using an Antec 300, which has 4 120mm and 1 140mm fans. I hooked the 2 HDD coolers to the y-cable that i re-connected myself and the rest to their own channel, including my CPU Cooler. Everything works perfectly, I think the problem with some people's LEDs not working is that the cables that come with it are not the highest quality and the connections are just bad so it doesn't see the fan connected. Luckily I was able to fix it my self and am a happy customer. |

Cons:
PWM manual mode knob LED will only display blue or purple, no red for high voltage.
Pros: Matches Lian-Li Cases, Works as advertised. Comment:
Slapped this baby into my Lian-Li PC-A05B and it looks great. It's running a Geild SilentWing on PWM, KamaFlow2 1400 on channel 1, 1900 on channel 2 and two slipstreams on channel 3 (using supplied y-connector.)It works as expected, no issues except for the PWM LED issue (too lazy to RMA, took forever to do the wire management).At the end of the day its a slightly expensive fan controller that works great and matches your fancy Alu case. |

Cons:
Terrible machining -- the case mounting holes don't line up
Pros: Black matches zalman lq1000 caseSimple operation for 4 fans Comment:
I needed this controller to run a pump and a fan, and it seems to do that. But it is not a high quality product. The threaded mounting holes don't line up with the Zalman case disk bay mounting holes. Go figure. So I used 2 screws instead of 4. And the power lights above the fan knobs did not light up. |

Cons: Still too expensive for what you get.
Pros: Appearance, price when pricematched, has 5 controls Comment:
Got this for a HAF932 case, which for me has 5 fans installed. Works great, looks good, let me lower overral noise by large margin for the same cooling benefit. |

Cons: *7w per channel*miss an extension for a 4 pins for power*the wire the sound is not wrapped and a little too short for a full tower
Pros: *Sober*5 fans channels*lights control*High fabrication quality Comment:
I buy this fan controller for 2 scythes ultra Kaze 120mm and 1 yate loon 140mm and is working more or less perfect. The fans are are on an individual channel and on three of them, only 2 lights are glows but it does not he who does not work perfectly lit.I also was hard to feed because its does not come with an extension to connect the 4 pins. Good thing I had an extension with my scythe ultra kaze. |
This is a simple and very effective way to control fans in your system. i currently have 2 of them, one in my pc running the case fans, allowing me to keep my system almost completely silent, and one in hte watercooling tower to control the 9 140mm fans on my radiator. This thing can handle .6amps per channel so 3 fans per channel works. With its colour coded lights to tell you how fast you have yoru fans it is easy to keep track of what yoru fans are doing without the need of a big lcd screen.
