Fan Controllers

Bitfenix Recon

Check in on your rig and take control of your system anywhere with the BitFenix Recon™ Fan Controller. This five channel fan controller features internet connectivity - another world first from the BitFenix Design Labs. Featuring dual processors that continuously interact with your motherboard, Recon enables you to monitor and control your system on the go with any internet-connected device, including the latest smartphone, tablet or laptop. The easy-to-use touchscreen displays your current system temperatures and status, while giving you easy access to Recon's robust functionality. Customizable profiles make it easy to save and recall your favorite settings, while the SofTouch™ bezel makes it an attractive addition to your killer rig.

SilverStone FP52

To alleviate the increasing trend of higher fan noise, the company created a smart fan controller that doubles as a system monitor and an alarm clock. After a brief setup, the FP52 will take control of your most important fans so there are no constant user interventions or monitoring needed as fans change speeds by themselves based on temperature. Coupled with a smoothly finished aluminum bezel, the FP52 is truly the intelligent choice for both seeking performance and style.

NZXT Sentry LX

The NZXT SEN-001LX Sentry LX Aluminum dual bay fan controller has a beautiful brushed aluminum black anodized finish and a large multi-colored LCD screen. The screen shows temperatures and fan speeds for 5 different temp sensors and 5 different fans. It also has a clock and calendar. The unit allows for full adjustment of the five fan speeds individually among other things.

I'm still rocking a Sunbeam Rheostat and it is awesome, would definitely give an FC-9 some love though. Personally I don't care for any of these so not even voting.

Write in for FC-9.
