Good fan controller and temp unit.

[vwfix]

I see a lot of temp and fan controllers on the market, some look very basic some are over the top flashy. but there are too many choices out there. What would you recommend for a good unit that can report cpu temps and control 4 fans. I want something that is decent quality but will not cost insane money like some of this touch screen units.

The Scythe Kaze looks pretty promising. It's flashy, but very elegant at the same time. Very simple to use too.

It comes in a 2 channel 3.5" unit, and 4 channel 5.25" unit.

I've been tempted to pick one up to take a look at.

Wow that does look very nice, will defiantly have to look into it more.

I've been looking for one similar to this. Would it be possible to hook up more than 4 fans to it or is that the max? I have 7 120mm case fans that I'd love to have control over instead of running flat out 24/7.

That's one sexy looking Fan controller, I vowed to myself that I wouldn't bother with a fan controller again (at least for this build) because I hardly *EVER* played with it. Just got motherboard controller stuff right now.

Any pics of that on a LianLi A05B (or any Black LianLi case?), without bezels and customs these stick out like sore thumbs. If it were knobs I would have drilled a stock empty bezel but this LCD may pose problems I don't want to bother with.

Edit: just found out it's a glossy finish.

That just kills it for me (temporarily).

I'll save whatever cash I get to spend on my PC when a need cries out to me.

I think that is one of the nicest looking lcd fan controllers I have seen. My only issue with them is the temp sensors. i have no clue where I could stick them it would be nice if it could read the temps straight from the drives and cpu socket.
