Hello!. I never owned a fan controller before so I am not sure what to demand/expect. My motherboard has plenty of headers but only three offer temperature sensitive automatic throttling.

Here is what I'm looking for:

  1. Must be 5.25" wide (single or dual slot acceptable)
  2. Must be white or black to match my white case (Corsair Carbide Air 540)
  3. Must be able to set an auto throttle depending on temperature
  4. Must have 4 channels or more
  5. Must have lighting in either white, red or green (unless it is changeable)
  6. Must show at minimum the RPM and temperature in Celsius.

Here are nine units that caught my attention (sorry I can't post links as this is my first forum post):

(list edited)
  1. Lamptron CW615 (software not Win10 compat. according to amazon reviews?)
  2. Lamptron CW611
  3. Lamptron FC Touch
  4. Lamptron FC5v3
  5. Lamptron CM430 w/ Green LED's
  6. NZXT Sentry 3
  7. BitFenix Recon
  8. Scythe Kaze Master II
  9. Scythe Kaze Master Flat II

Thanks for any help!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As per request (apparenlty my hardware specs aren't visible in profile), here is some of my hardware, which I doubt would be of any assistance:

-Corsair Carbide Air 540 in Arctic White
-EVGA X99 FTW K motherboard
-Corsair H100i GTX v2 Extreme liquid cooler
-3 x 140mm 3-pin fans (2 in front, 1 in rear)
-2 x 120mm (4pin?) fans mounted to radiator
-1200W Antec PSU

How about an NZXT Grid+ V2?

Only problem is that it can only do CPU and GPU temperature monitoring currently.

Actually it doesn't qualify as an option, as it won't satisfy over half of my listed requirements. It must be a front bay item, not a hidden hub, as it will not be any easier to use than what my motherboard supplies.

What motherboard?

What fans do you want to control?

What case?

I originally wanted to control all fans. I'm editing my original post to include my hardware, but remember I am looking for a dedicated fan controller and am not interested in using onboard capabilities.
