20 Best Fan Controller For Pc (2023 Updated)

This device works well and as advertised, temperature sensor inputs work great with the included thermal sensors and fantastically in iCue. The fan ports work well with single fans and generally provide stable RPMs, but if you add more than 1 fan per port the RPMs can vary.

In my experience, I added 3 fans making sure the current draw was less than 1A on each port, but one of my ports died and no longer is able to spin up a fan or report RPMs. Disappointed that the Commander Pro didn’t function as advertised in the manual as 1A per fan header, but that’s okay as I am using it for the thermal sensors and RGB lighting instead, to which it works brilliantly.

I wouldn’t recommend this if you need more than 6 fan inputs and splitters are a bad idea on this device. Other than that, it’s an excellent and flexible product, I just wish it could drive the fans as advertised.

I won’t RMA it because It’s running my thermal sensors and half my RGB, so i have my fans on MB headers now. Still a recommend from me, just be weary of the fan headers ;).

Installed new build using Ryzen and an AMD X570 chipset for moderate overclocking. At base speeds, overclocked, and even under-clocked ( test everything, right?), the Corsair would cause USB devices to disconnect randomly.

Sometimes it would cause one or two devices, and other times it would cause all. To test, I unplugged separate devices until one did not cause it. Unplugging the Commander Pro fixed all issues. I’ve since replaced the Commander Pro with another lighting controller and a separate fan controller, non USB.

Others have had this issue as well, based on searches on this issue. It’s unfortunate that this controller caused issues with the new chipset, but maybe I can see about using it in another build.

Okay, so I had 3 of these, I currently have two plugged in with 12 of those LL series fans. The first one blew up (well it popped and then stopped working, not really a hand grenade or anything). It damaged nothing else.

The second one had channel 6 for the lighting stop working like a boss. Frustrating, but everything for fan controlling still works. Oh it’s also reporting it’s 3. 3v as. 32v give or take. I’m guessing it is bugging out a bit or just broke slightly, rather than immensely like the first one.

The third one now has lost channel 5 and channel 6 on lighting. The fan control still works but I bought these things to entertain my primitive brain with shiny lights. Though it can suffice with 3 of the 12 channels, it is still extremely frustrating that 3 of my fans have no LED support.

Currently, of 3 of them, there is a 100% partial failure rate and a 33% complete failure rate. I would RMA them but oh look there is only one way I’m going to have fan control on all 12 of my fans. Corsair, I currently dislike you more than Comcast and I have to spend a two hour call yearly with them to fix problems on their end only after they force me to troubleshoot all of my equipment.

For my next PC build I’m getting fan controllers and fans by a different company. I honestly wish extreme ill fortune upon your corporation. If you cannot make a fan controller work, I expect something more complicated, like a PSU would be a massive disaster.

Nice fan controller that lets the fan spin using many different temperatures other than the CPU. I have two 120mm fans on my modified GPU so I bought this to control those fans using GPU temps and the rest of my case fans are using the CPU temp.

Also nice that each fan can be controlled individually and set to different curves. A few bad things I experienced was the software would not detect one of the fans even though it powered that same fan, I am not using a lot of RGB fans but you have to use Corsair fans to be able to use the RGB plugs.

Maybe one day they can make one just for fan control?? I like the fan hub and the option to control how each fan spins but the price was high since I am only using fans and not the RGB. Haven’t found any other fan hub with the fan options so I’ll keep the commander core but if one day I am able to get one with just fan ports then this one is out.

It’s a bit large, but I managed to fit it into a Cooler Master NR200P (with power supply mounted in the front). I’m dual booting Windows and Pop!_OS Linux and needed something to run two extra fans at the bottom (four total).

The included fans with the case were going to put me over the mobo fan header power budget, so I needed something. This was on the store shelf. This does store some sort of state after shutting down for static fan speed.

I’ve got all the fans turning pretty slow. If you’re hoping to use this in Linux, there is a project out there that it might work with, but in case you just want to run a static speed on a good airflow case, this will work if you get into Windows first.

🙂 The Windows experience is pretty good for the fans. I like the new iCUE software over what I had previously used. I can get a quick and easy to setup view of the fans. Haven’t tried the RGB yet, but I’m sure it’s pretty standard for the Corsair RGB game.

Cables for power and USB were long enough for my in this small ITX case, but in a larger tower case, you might need an extension. Would check for build pictures like your build first! The magnet was great for positioning it while building.

I strapped it in with a velcro tie when finished. Excited about the temp sensors. I might give them a go for the Linux angle and see if that works in Windows and Linux (without software). At least a good thing to have around if you like building.

Even if you don’t end up using it in the long haul, would be great to have when you need a fan controller in a pinch!.

Excellent, discreet as wanted

TranslateShow in original languageLa iluminación RGB en los bordes del ventilador es muy bonita y se puede sincronizar casi con cualquier marca de tarjeta madre. El funcionamiento no es el más silencioso, sin embargo por el precio que pagué por ellos no me arrepiento en lo absoluto.

Eso si, soy primerizo y fue necesario revisar un vídeo de Youtube para saber como instalarlos, pues en el empaque no me vino ningún instructivo.

TranslateShow in original languageExcelente opción si es que tienes solo un cha_fan o Sys_fan, estos ventiladores se pueden conectar en serie por lo que solo tendras que conectar un solo ventilador para poder darle energía a los demas ademas de que cumplen bien con su misión, en la parte del rgb tiene buenos patrones de colores, lo único malo puede ser el control del rgb ya que es un poco corto por lo que lo tendrás que dejar a dentro de gabinete y en caso de que quieras cambiar el color tendrás que abrir el gabinete.

Buena opción en calidad precio.

CHEAP! Very basic and thrown together without consideration of the Professional standards of installations verses the Price of the kit. I expected to get Quality of wire and Length of negative and positive wire.

Approx. 10′ each so you can divide them for each fan wiring. The splice connectors are Amateur and basic get by “in a pinch” connectors that absolutely will Not stand up to length of daily weather protection.

A few weatherproof splice and end connectors do not break the bank and people appreciate Quality. The wire should be a temperature rated wire as well. The adjustable temperature controller reviews show it to be a continuous early failure rate that still gets ignored.

I was told I needed this kit for my application, but the kit was the wrong one for my 95′ Caprice 5. 7L engine. I have always had Great success with Summit in the past and hope to continue using them.

Summit-Please take note about this issue and rework this issue. I had to pay more for the correct kit and I still have to get the proper parts needed to install it. I will expect controller failure in the near future.

I need our vehicle ASAP and feel let down about this per price paid. I think 2/3rds less in price point is satisfactory.

I purchased this a while ago and only recently installed it. Comes with everything, instructions were adequate, easy to install and adjust and works as it should. BUT, the fuse holder is not up to the job.

The fuse holder connects to the fuse with push on spade terminals and they could not carry the amps in my system. I ran the 30 amp fuse supplied and everything worked but those wimpy terminals got so hot it melted the fuse holder and eventually the fuse.

The fuse did not blow, it melted from the heat the terminals created because the metal is thinner than the wire it connects to. I have replaced the fuse holder with a 80 amp rated holder, using a 30 amp fuse as supplied in the kit and there is no more issue but you may want to consider this when choosing this controller since replacing the fuse holder with a heavy duty part cost me over 25 dollars and the wimpy fuse holder creates resistance which could slow down your fan.

Seems Proform used the cheapest garbage relay they could find. The relay failed on the second day after installation causing my car to overheat leaving me stranded. Had to walk to a local parts store to get a relay which is now working fine.

Buy at your own risk , or buy knowing that you will have to replace the relay.

This is the best dimmer/fan control I’ve ever had. Easily installed, great price, looks great and easy to operate. I’ve had others with those little buttons that break constantly and are a pain to push up and down.

This works great. Wish I would have purchased these when I first bought my fans. I’ve replaced 2 so far and will replace the others in the future. Great job Leviton!.

I previously owned similar switch. It lasted for several years. Reordered same because of the price and its design, not too bulky.

This is a very good fan control switch. It is quiet. It’s attractive, it has the four speeds and it is very durable. You can tell it’s a lot better quality than anything you would buy at Home Depot or Lowe’s.

I would buy it again in a New York Minute.

I bought this triple pack for exhaust (1 rear/ 2 top) and am totally satisfied with it. Best things: – amazing RGB experience with handy software (iCUE) – great cooling system bad things: – you need to buy fan hub seperately (or splitter).

The Lighting Node Core is only for RGB connection which means you need fan hub to supply power for fans. because I am not the IT expert, that made me frustrated as the fans didn’t work initially. After a few hours spent for googling I managed it with Deepcool fan hub (that was also purchased from PBtech).

overally, it is really good RGB case fans. totally recommendable.

It’s fans. It’s Corsair fans. They cool your pc. Or maybe they exhaust the heat from your pc. Either way they’re great at what they do. Such good little fans. Seriously, they’re RGB fans from Corsair.

They’re not the fans with 14 million LEDs or anything. Just 8 chill little LEDs in the fan hub. As far as the LEDs go, they match the lighting on the fans that come with the new Corsair AIOs. Unfortunately these fans don’t have magnetic levitation bearings.

As far as airflow aka cooling performance goes. These bad boys can cool lava instantly. They move lots of air across/through my case keeping the NVMe drives, VRM heatsinks, RAM, and everything else cool.

This also includes feeding that hot boy GPU some fresh, cool air to keep him happy. We all know how hard it is to get a GPU so, you gotta keep your GPU happy and cool until things turn around and you can upgrade.

Overall, buy these fans. They’re not that expensive, they’re pretty dope, can cool lava (don’t try at home) and they have a little RGB, but not so much RGB that a plane pilot will think your case is the markings for an airfield landing strip.

Corsair has never let me down. Leaving console gaming behind in light of the PS5/XBOX Series X shortage and converting to PC has been the best thing I have ever done. These Corsair fans perform well and iCue rgb lighting software is phenomenal!! Def recommend this purchase.

I have purchased many Corsair products in the past and remain loyal. If you’re looking to add rgb lighting and better air flow, waste no time.

I bought this controller and it came 2 days ago with a new 2 in 1 tent. I got the ion board 22 for the small side of the 2 in 1 ac infinity tent I bought. I set it to off on the controller since I wasn’t ready to have anything on that side.

I check it today and the light is on and the ballast is really hot, like it was on all night. It was set to 6 light intensity even though I didn’t do that. It should have been off. I try to fix it on the app and controls are disabled because of an advance mode? Do not block me from controlling my light! This thing needs a firmware update.

I never set any advance mode. There’s nothing intuitive about controlling that controller, I planned on doing everything from the app on my phone. I got fed up with it so I changed the light to another port to reprogram it and it’s unresponsive.

I change the light intensity, nothing happens. I set it to off, nothing happens. I paid a lot of money for this tent, exhaust fan, LED and have a clip fan coming in the mail. Is that not going to work either? Really upset with this at the moment.

After using the Controller 67 rather extensively (and having really played with all the settings), here are my thoughts: As always with ACI, right out of the box we see the “iphone quality” we have come to expect from ACI.

No surprises there. They truly did right by the growers by correcting the “off” function of the original controller from the T series of fans. It works perfectly and again is as we have come to love these guys for.

Now for the app. I promised myself I would go easy on ACI as no competitor is yet using a smart fan (that I’m aware of). Lets be honest, it’s not likely going to be anything more than clutter on my phones app section for a power on/off function that looks like every other lame smart home app at best.

I don’t think I made it 4 minutes on the app before arriving at the conclusion. “THIS!, JUST THIS!” THE APP IS ABSOLUTLEY BRILLIANT. It allows a level of control over environmental variables that only a deity should feel comfortable wielding.

Even with a closed loop/CO2 enriched setup thanks to the “Cycle” function. ACI, my hat is off to your R&D dept. This level of control allowed me to greatly reduce overall fan usage (and electrical costs obviously), reduce fan noise (as fans are being run at lower speeds most often times), and all while my temps and now even humidity levels are perfect in all 3 vent linked rooms.

In the beginning, the app was used to dial in the final details of the grow. By week 3 the app is mostly for looking at with arms folded across my chest grinning as the rooms thrive like mad. Thanks again ACI! Way to be out there way ahead of the would be competitors.

I had been looking for a set of decent RGB fans for some time, to upgrade the random assortment currently in my case. I have to say I’m really impressed with these, the RGB on them is good and bright and they shift a serious amount of air.

They replaced 2 nasty blue LED fans that were in the case as standard and an Arctic 120mm fan that I had added for exhaust. I feel that even running these at the minimum 800rpm, that they are flowing better than the Arctic, which was a decent fan, running at 100%.

So my system is now much quieter, which is a definite bonus. The fans come with a powered 6 port fan hub and RGB and fan speed controller. I’ve hooked them up to my touchscreen fan controller and left the RGB on its default rainbow setting, so I can’t comment on how well the controller works.

I purchased a three pack of these fans to install in a Fractal Meshify C case. The RGB in these fans looks great, they provide great air flow, but they are kind of noisy which is to be expected from static fans.

Overall I’m happy with these fans and would more than likely buy them again.

Good set of fans. I’ve never been disappointed with Lian Li products and these are no exceptions. They do run a bit loud as the lowest speed is 800 rpm (as opposed to some Corsairs at 400 rpm). Otherwise the lights look great, the fans do their job at a reasonable price.

I’ve been fan cooling tube hi-fi gear since the early ’70s. At one point, I had a pair of 6 foot tall Mid-Atlantic racks for my home theatre amps (three Audio Research tube amps, not including the solid state sub woofer amps) and video processing, with multiple intake and exhaust fans and a thermal controller, at considerable cost.

My current project involved a custom made silencer box for a 1/2 HP air compressor used to drive the tonearm on my turntable. In a past installation, I essentially soundproofed a walk-in closet to accommodate the compressor, using mass loaded vinyl and acoustic blankets.

Here, at my new place in Austin, I did not have the luxury of that space. The box was constructed based in part on an Internet design from an acoustic supply company, with several modifications, including fan cooling and a door with effective closures, to access the compressor.

The fans are mounted at 90 degrees to the cut outs in the silencer box, and everything is lined with a melamine foam/mass loaded vinyl sandwich. The fans all mounted beautifully, two of the cabinet mounts on one side of the bigger box, each within their own box, and a third, designated a “blower,” and set up for additional exhaust at the opposite end of the silencer box.

It all wires daisy-chained to the last fan, which plugs into the controller. Easy. The controller gives me various options- the temp when the fans kick in, an alarm temp warning when the interior of the box reaches a designated temp.

I can vary both the fan triggering temp and the alarm temp. The controller sits on top of the box in an accessory stand designed for free standing mounting. This is not exactly an audio gear or A/V cabinet install– it was challenging to get the box built just so, and the cooling gear from AC Infinity was a really good choice to accomplish my goals.

The company has also been very good at phone support when I had a few questions along the way, like running extension USB cables and the effect of voltage drop on the fans, etc. In all, a top rating for these folks.

‘d like to post some pictures of the completed project- i am very pleased with it—it looks like Darth Vader’s bar fridge! You can find me on the web at TheVinylPress. com–I write about older LPs, with a slant toward the obscure, particularly late ’60s psych/prog/folk from the UK and other countries.

I received no accommodations for writing this review. In fact, I asked the company how I could do so because I was so pleased with their products and support.

I’m using this in a different kind of application. We have a toaster oven in a tight space that doesn’t have factory recommended clearances. So, in conjunction with the AIRPLATE S1, Home Theater and AV Quiet Cabinet Cooling Fan System, 4 Inch, I installed an active cooling system.

The controller is awesome. The max “alarm” limit is 140 degrees. This does work, but I’d prefer to have a higher alarm setting. Other than that, this combination is perfect. I have the controller mounted in the rear of the closet in a corner at 45 degrees so that the wires can be attached.

I may add a second fan, as the fan doesn’t quite have the CFM’s I expected. All in all, it’s a great solution, and the products themselves are amazing. I think I have the coolest toaster oven cooling system in the state! :).

I purchased two S1 fans and a single zone controller to use in an AV cabinet. The products are well packaged, instructions easy to follow and the installation templates are sturdy. Installation was easy and the system works well.

Happy AV components running cooler now.

I modified my new electric garage heater that only ran the fan when the heater was energized. Before the fan would shut off right after the element turned off – this made the outside of the heater too hot for a couple of minutes.

Now with this switch installed and correctly wired the fan will blow until the element cools off. Win-Win! The adjustability is what makes this temp switch worth it – no guess work.

First this is the device to use if you want to keep something from overheating, for example a refridgerator or a greenhouse fan. When it gets to the temp you set it turns the fan on, once the temp drops 20 then it turns off.

Second i was a bit confused about what is the on and off temp of this device. I went to manufacturers site, emerson, and researched. It says that when you set the dial to 130, it turns on at 130 and off at 110, if you set it at 90 it turns on at 90 and off at 70.

Each device may be off in calibration, so it may appear that when you set it at 130 it turns on at 140 and off at 120 BUT the intent of the numbers on the dial are the temp that the switch is closed- or rather turns on the device.

I also want to add that if this is being used in a critical application, like to control a greenhouse fan, that it would be a good idea to wire two of these in parallel, that way if one goes out the other will still switch on.

In the greenhouse application if the fan goes out there could be thousands of dollars of lost plants, use two of these to avoid a costly failure. If you are using this on an rv refridgerator keep in mind if you set it at 110 it will turn off at 90, therefore on a hot summer day in the 90’s the fan will never turn off.

A good temp for that application is on at 130 and off at 110. I like to live on the edge and be bold, so i used a fan with led lights on it. Go ahead, be a crazy risk taker, get led lights for the fan.

Living on the edge never felt so good.

We needed a temp switch for our greenhouse where May temps were getting ad high as 115 F. This switch is controlling a 70 watt solar panel to an 12v 80 watt fan. This switch keeps it super simple with a dial on the back to set your temp and that’s pretty much it.

The dial build quality is cheap but so far it seems sufficient. Holefully this is the only switch we’ll need.

Decent fans and relatively easy to set up. The included cables are on the short side so keep that in mind when trying to cable manage them in bigger builds. Lights aren’t the most vivid. It has a washed out look and spreads a softer light in the case which in my case, worked positively.

The included control box has space for another fan which I added in and everything worked no problem. CAM has been no issue as well. Airflow is alright but there are better options for performance. Relatively quiet even at max RPM and sound it makes is more a low hum rather than high pitch so is not annoying.

Overall a decent set of rgb fans and would buy again.

I like the fan and I’d recommend it to others in the future. The install is easy, and running the RGB cabling isn’t hard. The lighting control through NZXT CAM software is very straightforward and highly customizable.

Most importantly, the fan cools well. The performance of the fan is good, but there are a few fairly minor tweaks I’d like to see NZXT make in the future. First, the fan is built with RGB on the intake side only, with no other version available for purchase and no way to flip the lighting.

It’s not a huge deal, but it does mean the lighting can only point to the case interior when set up as an exhaust fan, and can only point to the exterior when set up as an intake fan. This can be a bigger pain when used with a radiator and it will limit your configuration options.

Second, there is only one version of the fan, rather than a pressure optimized and a flow optimized version. The fan is good for bulk air flow, but doesn’t hold a particularly high static pressure differential.

Again, not the end of the world, but your airflow and cooling will suffer if the fan is pulling across a thicker dust filter or an AIO radiator. All in all, a solid fan with good airflow and well built lighting.

I would just like to see NZXT incorporate different directionality on their RGB fan, and incorporate RGB lighting into different fan models.

I reluctantly write this in the hope that my experience does not become anyone else’s experience. I used this to control all my fans. All fans stopped without any warning from NZXT ‘s CAM software one day.

At the time I was in game with Riva Stats running an overlay showing CPU temps, and MSI Afterburner running in the background. When I noticed that CPU temp was 100 degrees, I shut down the game and check my CPU temp history in Afterburner.

It had been running close to 100 degrees c for roughly 5 minute, however there didn’t appear to be any permanent damage, the CPU was at full boost and hadn’t started throttling clocks yet. I considered myself lucky but am very annoyed at this controller.

NZXT’s website FAQ states that the controller will shut fans down to preserve itself. (at the potential cost of a $800 CPU). I liked this unit a lot prior to this event, as the functionality was great and I could control fans independently and set these to GPU temps, however there should at least be a warning by NZXT that it should not be used to control the primary CPU cooler.

I’ve been looking for a fan controller since my Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK’s fan control is garbage. There is no way to set custom curves in the UEFI, and after a while the fans start to ramp up and stay at a higher RPM than normal.

I tried the fan controller that’s built into the MasterCase Pro 5, but it’s too loud even on the low setting. I tried multiple fan controllers, starting with the NZXT Sentry (from old build), then the Corsair Commander, and finally NZXT’s Grid+ V2.

The Sentry worked great, but I didn’t want to sacrifice a 140mm fan in my MasterCase Pro 5. Both the Commander and the Grid+ were garbage. The Commander will run your fans at 100% when you wake your computer from sleep, and you have to go into Link and change the percentage or fan curve for them to operate at the correct speed.

The Grid+ doesn’t maintain the set speed or curve. This wouldn’t be an issue for some fans, but I have five ML140 fans connected and they are LOUD at full RPM. Disgusted with the two software controlled options, and not wanting to spend over $100 on an Aquaero 6 LT (the only good software-based fan controller), I decided to try Noctua’s fan controller.

Needless to say it works great! I have five fans connected to it using two ModMyToys 4-way PWM fan splitters and the SATA power connection. Very satisfied and can’t recommend highly enough! My only complaint is that I wish there was a three or four channel option to cut down on cable mess of more than one controller if you want more than one speed for multiple groups of fans.

I like these units! I do have the system control them for a nice balance of noise to performance ratio, but my cases integrated fan controller only supported a max of 6 fans and only 3-pin at that. The need for SATA power didnt stick out to me, but these are also the first fan controllers Ive ever purchased.

For the price, these are an excellent choice for reducing the total connections to your board for a clean build. If Noctua happens to release a single slimmer unit that offers 2-out 6-fan support, includes an LED enable/disable switch and includes any sort of mounting solution, I would purchase it in a heartbeat!.

I have three of these for a hydronic heating system in my sailboat. On one of the zones, I have a 4. 8A and 3. 3A fan connected to it for a total of 8. 1A which far exceeds the 3A limit. I ran switched ±12v to the directly to the fan and tapped off that connection to power the NA-CV1.

I only ran the blue control wire from the controller to the fan which is a low current control wire so that they 8. 1A load does not go through it and it works perfectly.

This controller does a lot. Made for the uis setup, its a complete environmental conrol system. It also the best value for the price. The app is priceless in the added functions and control. Buy the ac cloud lab system and controller 69 gives you the best opportunity to grow the best you can with your abilities, optimized.

The triggers are awesome, with schedules and cycles. simply the best and all in one, made simple, and it looks amaizing. Can set temp and humidity triggers, linking clamp fans, exhausts, intakes, and lighting (ex: humidity too high, set fans to ramp up and set light to dim- effectivley lowering air temp).

The single and only thing its missing is triggers for vpd. All in all, this is my 3rd controller 69 purchase, for use with my dry tent, as well as 2in1 cloudlab, for true dual side environmental control.

Its the closest thing to perfect on the market.

I am new to growing with only 3 grows under my belt. I own all AC INFINITY products minus the LED Grow Lamp, which I will be changing soon. I have never seen a product line so complete and advanced, made with Quality at an affordable price.

I am not paid for this and have no affiliation with AC INFINITY. I am a guy who tired quickly of poor quality cannibas that I can’t completely trust. Now I grow my own organic cannibas. AC INFINITY has supported me every step of the way 100%! In my long lifetime I have rarely seen this from another company’s offerings or customer service.

I really wish I could provide some analytics to support my claim, but I do not have any to offer. All I can say is that the products are superior to others in all ways and I cannot say enough about my POSITIVE experience with AC INFINITY!!!.

I am loving this controller, it is making my first grow a successful one. I purchased this after I bought my S6 in-line fan and my S22 grow light. I love that everything is controlled by one app that is very intuitive to set up programming, reminds me of another company that has a great infrastructure between all their equipment.

I was particularly looking forward to the data logging, so I could track all the info I can on my grow, but under the old app version I kept losing my info. I am happy to say that the new version of the app has fixed the data logging, and I have a the data tracking that I love.

I was concerned about the communication over Bluetooth, but the communication endures about 50’ of distance. I will continue to stay with AC Infinity and already looking forward to the WIFI version of this controller and will be preordering the new Cloudray S6.

AC Infinity you have a customer for life.

Previously been using a Lampton F5 v2 for the past 8 years but recently one of the buttons has become unreliable despite my attempts at repairing it. That’s where the Askasa FC Six comes in. Despite being a little slow, around 2-3 seconds, when making adjustments it’s a good solid fan controller.

LED’s are a little too bright but I swapped out to higher value resistors to compensate for this. It can handle 8 Noctua NF-A12x25, four per channel, easily.

Works well, allows me to control the adapt cooling to situation. Well built, sturdy controls. The diodes are really strong though, they could be a separate source of light in the room, give it a little cyberpunk vibe.

Easy to install and looks good.

I purchased a competing cabinet fan and temp controller products and wasn’t satisfied before finding the Infinity product ljne. Glad I purchased Infinity because it’s they have superior products and services starting at the online purchase process.

Expedited shipping, excellent packaging and high quality fans and temp controller. Highly recommend this product line.

Everything was well packaged with clear instructions and great attention to detail. Controller works as intended, very compact (though I did manage to lose one of the small mounting screws!). Using it for an Airplate I installed to cool our home theatre cabinet.

Great to have temperature control instead of the always-on fan set up I had before. Nice that you can daisychain, since I’m planning to get a multifan for the cable box.

Works great as designed. I have one running for 3-4 years in a cabinet with TV equipment (Cable box, Roku, Router) with no issues. I just added a fan to a kitchen cabinet (to remove heat under an induction stove) and used this controller with the Airplate S3 fan.

Works great.

A quality item. Works very well. Fan is absolutely silent at low speed – even at full speed the fan noise is the level of a loud whisper. Excellent packaging and instructions. Perfect for cooling low voltage electronics like modem/router while still keeping your office silent.

The speed control is infinitely variable – I thought it would be just three positions; low, medium and high. This allows you to dial in the noise/cooling level as required. I matched it with a large low speed fan (120mm x 25mm) to move a decent amount of air with absolute minimal noise.

Very satisfied Would buy again. Would recommend without hesitation.

No big surprise, reducing the speed of this great little fan – AXIAL 1225 – results in quieter operation. In my application — in my office set up around a few plants — it’s critical that this fan be virtually silent.

At full power (with the in-the-box plug), too loud. Using this speed controller and setting the fan to the low setting, perfect. I don’t need a lot of air movement but I do need quiet. Love it!.

Vey nice controller, helps lower fan speed to very low decibel output. Only mild difficulty was once the fan was installed, the fan connector was difficult to connect to fan housing, due to curved shape.

If controller had standard plug for its input, coming from the already installed fan motor wire, this would have been a snap to install.

I had to replace my 20+ year old cooktop exhaust fan (roof mount) and chose the Fantech REC8XL from SupplyHouse. com. My old rheostat switch didn’t adjust the fan speed; so, I ordered the WC Series Variable Speed Control with On/Off Switch that was a match to the fan.

Ordering in both cases was easy, shipping was fast and everything works as it should. Buying from these guys and the guarantees they provide takes all the worry out of the job. My only wish would be that I would have tested the speed control before I installed it.

It works great but the fan could run just a little slower.

I’ve got this on a 5. 3 amp, 120 vac PSC motor. It is in use 24 hours per day. It gets adjusted several times per day. The speed adjustment is smooth with no bumps or dips. It holds consistently. The previous one lasted over 12 years.

I expect no problems for a long while. Also note that it is in a 2-gang box with a lighting dimmer beside it, so the device is subject to heat- yet it survives. The price is very goo, too.

Been using these for years to control fan motor speed on small heating appliances like water fan-coils (modines). There is an adjustable “stop” for how low you want it to adjust, which helps prevent the user from running the motor too low causing damage.

Will continue to use, for the cost and overall simplicity, it’s hard to beat for a small single pole motor (non-ECM).

I’ve pretty much used Cooler Master HSF’s exclusively for as long as I’ve known of them (around 20ish years). My previous System used an Hyper N520 which performed reliably for 10 years. So It was a no brainer to go with the evolutionary design for my new 10700K.

While the Hyper 212 is highly compatible with numerous sockets, it requires a whole bunch of various and small component parts which are both a little confusing to assemble, and not to mention easy to damage or lose if you’re not careful.

What I really don’t like about this thing though, is the metal fan clips. It comes with one fan preinstalled, which you do need to remove to put the socket mounting parts on. it was a little annoying getting it lined back up right before installing it into the case, but then adding/replacing fans once inside the case proved to be very, very annoying (Esp because I have huge hands).

I replaced the stock fan with 2 Bgears b-PWM’s (Red and Blue), and getting the clips to fit snugly was just. a trial in frustration, to put it mildly. They just wouldn’t fit snugly till I made a couple of bends (outward, not inward).

I didn’t break out the micrometer, but while they are both standard 25mm total width, this is likely a result of slightly different design Dimensions between the Silencio Fan it came with and the BGears b-PWM’s I installed in it’s place which are much higher max flow rate (110CFM), but also seem to be more lightly constructed.

This is NOT a negative on the Silencio fan at all, it’s just that airflow capacity was more of a priority for my needs then silence (My system has sound matting installed inside to deaden the roar from the 3X140MM&1X4X120MM b-Blaster intake & exhaust fans.

Yes, they are massive overkill, but for my needs it’s calculated overkill. You’ll just have to trust me on this trhough, because this is about the Hyper 212, not my “ode to excess” of a PC). Given a choice, I would have preferred to more b-Blasters to the Hyper 212, but they are 38mm wide, and just wouldn’t fit between it and both the memory DIMM’s or the VRM heatsink on the Asus Z-590 Prime board I’m using.

So the b-PWM seemed like my next best option, but other brand/model’s of fans may not run into the same problem I did. It depends on the exact manufactured dimensions. The good and bad news about the metal clips is that they only seem to be used on the 212 BE, while the RGB BE and other versions of it use plastic clips that screw into the fan instead.

You COULD replace them with the plastic ones, which are listed on CM’s webstore, but always seem to be out of stock, and can’t be gotten anywhere else. Why they even use the metal clips on this model I can only conjecture (Cost savings, probably), but I suppose you could figure another way to rig them in using Wire tires or maybe even fashioning your own metal clips, or even printing your own plastic ones if you have the ability to do that.

But that’s probably something everyone will need to figure out for themselves.

I love how this product looks and it has brought temps down in my pc. However they need to create more clear instructions on how to install it. The instruction booklet just has pictures and no written documentation to accompany it in the booklet.

Which I think could have helped matters quite a bit. The rgb isn’t addressable outside of the controller provided. Making it annoying of you wanted to change the colors since you’d have to remove one of either side panels to access it.

Hopefully they come out with a version that can be configured right in Windows. Similar to Corsairs ique software. I also found the connector between the controller and the rgb header to be fairly loose.

The connector provided snaps into the fairly easily but the rgb header doesn’t connect so permanently making it easy to accidentally remove. Other than those problems I love having it in my system. Comparing it to the stock cooler it’s great how low the temps can go.

The cooler design is beautiful to look at and the size isn’t too obscene. Though if you want something to fit on a mini case I’d definitely not recommend it. Overall it’s a good product. Just wish they put more effort into the rgb and instructions.

I recently bought a Powerspec desktop with a 12700KF that came with this cooler installed and it did not perform very well. Any CPU test I ran (Intel Burntest, ADA 64, etc. ) would quickly get all cores into the mid 90s and most cores would hit a peak of 100C after several minutes.

I see similar results in my normal workflows (not stress tests). Exports from my photo editing software got similar temps. My CPU is running at stock speeds. I tried new thermal paste, adjusting fan curves.

nothing could get temps down to a reasonable range on this cooler. Finally gave up and installed a quality air cooler (Mugen 5 black) and getting much better results. I’m assuming my unit is defective, as reviews say this cooler should perform much better than I experienced.

Mine appears to be working properly. The pump is running and fans spin full RPM, so idk why the temps are so high? My advice: run a stress test and check your temps! Don’t assume.
