fan controller that turns off fans

[incognito247]

does anyone know of any fan controllers that will turn off a fan. most I see don't state it or only go from low-high. preferrably a 5.25" one.

I use this one: Scythe Kaze Master Pro 5.25, Fan Controller
It can turn off the fans completely, can monitor temps, but is still completely mechanical; so even if the screen would fail after 10 years it would still work (unlike touchscreen ones). One that changes fanspeed according to temp is also very nice, but I like this one.

There are probably a lot of fancontrollers that can turn off fans, but I only used 3 different ones in the last 10 years.

I use a Lamptron FC Touch, but all 5.25" fan controllers I've encountered (mechanical Sunbeam ones, NZXT Sentry 2) were able to completely shut off the fans.

thats what I have. another thing that isnt common knowledge, you cant run the fans under 40%. its 0%, jumps to 40%, then 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. I didnt think much of it at first, but now that Ive used it for a while, I really wish there was a 10, 20, and 30% setting. sometimes I only want 2 fans on, other times I might want 4, but at a lower speed. It sucks for that reason.

My Lamptron FC Touch is capable of doing 1% increments from 0% to 100%. You get what you pay for.
