I like the looks of this, and this review by Bit-Tech says that this lcd thing can potentially be awesome, IF the mentioned add-ons are released. Anyone know if the fan controller add-on for this lcd has been released yet? This thing's been on the market for a while, I thought they'd have all sorts of accessories out for it by now.

Not released yet, but we do have the first prototypes in house. Here are the features so far:

4x PWM 1 Amp fan controllers with RPM reporting
4x 1-Wire temperature probes, maximum 8
4x thermal couple temperature probes
3x GPOs
1x buzzer

As well the ability to set maximum and minimum alarm settings. Right now we are doing PWM and fan testing, to make sure as many popular fans are tested for any "strange behavior", like the surprise the Scythe Fans gave us with the MX series. More news and updates are coming and will be posted on our forums.

Cheers...

Great to hear. I have a couple of the past MO's, and have nothing but great things to say about them. So there's no doubt these will be a hit too. Good job, guys.

Dude, if you guys can figure out a way for this thing to control fan speeds based on a temperature monitoring program like realtemp, i'd pick up one of these in a heartbeat.

+1 on realtemp.

Looks nice, plus would be very helpful.

I'll talk to the software guys, so hopefully they will be able to do something.

wow, this is the first cool new LCD i have seen in a looooooooooooong time lol

very cool guys, i might have to put this on my x-mas wish list lol

realtemp doesn't seem to share its data with the outside world, coretemp looks to be quite doable though.

Tie in an arduino?

I sure like mine.Got the RGB w/ remote version.

I'm glad to see some progress being made on the expansion boards.Been a loooong wait , but I am patient.

 

[scrawnypaleguy]

Any pics BrainEater? I'd love to see what sort of configs you can display. Is the software easy to use?

 

[BrainEater]

Well....

I've got 1 crappy pic from about 8 months ago...I really should have more .

It really doesn't do it any justice I'm afraid.

-------

The software , like any other , has some bugs , and takes some getting used to, but it's good .....

I like the GX Typhoon a lot , and I'm excited the daughter boards are coming....they will add a whole world of functionality.
