Hey guys as some of you know the stock corsair fans in the air 540 are feking loud, and not to mention my bloody gtx 770 blower fan at 75% so it doesn't throttle it's very loud. Anyway, i know you can change fan speeds in bios, but it's pretty annoying, so i was wondering should i just get a fan controller for the 3 fans in my case? Anyone used an eBay/Chinese fan controller? Would you guys trust it in your pc? If it was dodgy, what could happen to my PC?

Also wondering about Corsair link, and whether it's worth $80ish AUD for the fan controller device.

When I use to run fan controller set up's it was all about looking good and didnt care what brand it was or where I got it as long as it was new. Never had issues with a generic controller. The only generic things I ever bought were fan controllers and card readers. Maybe I was lucky but it was always fine.

I have one very similar to it. Its alright, I wouldn't pay $20 for it personally, and if you draw too much current for it(ie. pump, multiple fans on the same connector, etc.) it makes a very annoying high pitch screech. 

*Risky click of the day*

Oh ok, i only have 3 fans and the rest of my specs are in my sig, would you say im drawing too much current with those current devices?
