Best fan controller?

[Lays]

I think I'll be getting a fan controller with my new 900D for when I do my watercooling build, I'm going to have something like.... 13 fans or something like that.  Majority will be noctua nf-f12's. (hopefully the black versions if they're released soon)

 

Cost isn't an issue, so shoot away

bitfenix one is my fav.

yes.

[Lays]

yes.

 

 

I like that and the sentry 2 by nzxt, but unsure which I'll go with, I'm gonna keep looking around and see what other options there is before I make my decision XD

Lamptron or Sunbeam Rheobus (whatever the thing was called, just google it)

Is this the lamptron? http://www.lamptron.com/product/controllers/cw611/

 

 

the sunbeam looks sorta cheap, plus no LCD readout, which I really like

I got a NZXT sentry mix 2 and I love it.. Those ones with lcd screens are known to lose the display at around a year.. Plus I don't want to run temp probes all over my case..

I guess you're right but idk, I really love the look of the LCD, but running probes everywhere would be so annoying, not to mention I wouldn't even know where to put them lol

I understand near the gpu/cpu but.. am I suppose to stick it right next to the cpu.. or gpu.. or what lol

Some people put them in the heat sink fins.. Still there's like 5 or 6 probes to run.. Also you can't see most the screens on those unless you look head on..To me they sounded like a pain..I almost bought the white recon but I read a bunch of people's screens dying and then the could not control anything anymore.. So I went with the one I have. It has 6 different channels with 30 watts per channel and you can select 6 different colors for the less one the front.. So it looks more plain to me..

Is there a specific one I should look at? Or are they all basically the same? Their site is kinda low-end looking

You got a point, where would I put the probes after watercooling though? since I wouldnt have heatsink fins :s

I have the recon. You can plug it in by usb and control it by software.

they are all capable of the same thing, if you don't need a display get the LT version.

 

So you judge one of the best watercooling companies by the looks of their site :D ?

if they're one of the best watercooling companies why does it look like a 4 year old made their site lol

This one is the only fan controller I recommend. 6 Channels and 30w per channel. I prefer dials and switches because touch screen can fail over time. Also when looking for a fan controller, consider how many fans and what fans they are.

Might not be what your looking for but corsair link?

Corsair link only works with things plugged into the block I believe, so when I build a custom loop my h100i will be getting sold/put back in it's box.

I have the Sentry mesh controller and it is awesome for something that is just five slide switches.
