Recommend A Fan Controller?

Post by Kamzu » Mon Oct 05, 2009 5:55 am

Hey guys, i have 4 1200RPM scythe slipstream fans that I want to quiet down.

However the fan controller reviews I've looked at on newegg all seem to have quality issues.

I'm not looking for any bling, but accurate RPM readings would be nice.

Thanks!

If you don't need bling, a Zalman fanmate2 will fit your needs...and wallet. Note that it's one fan per fanmate.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I don't really want to have that many small fan controllers hanging around haha.

Is there a 5.25 or 3.5 inch drive bay version that is reliable?
Preferably with RPM information? (Don't really consider that to be too much bling)
