LCD? I prefer the viewing angles offered by VFD, but the aluminum is a nice touch.

Lamptron fan controllers all use aluminum face plates.

Solid, compared to flacky Scythe controllers. One of the channels on my Kaze Master Ace died after a month.

This Lamptron controller is just what I've been waiting for (30W)! I was going to get the Lamptron FC-4 to replace my Kaze Master Ace but it does not have a RPM display and only supports up to 20W. With the FC-5 I can use a higher output fan like this one:

Delta FFB1212EHE 120x38mm Extreme High Speed

Specifications: 120x120x38mm, -->190.00<-- CFM @ 4000 RPM, 59.0 dBA, 24.00 watts, 2.00 amps, 12v DC, 3+4 pin Molex connectors.

Jeez, 4k rpm!? Don't chop off your finger... Also, wouldn't a high speed fan be less effective at low speeds since it was originally intended for high speeds?

Look at the FC-2 doesn't have the display, but 6channels 45watts each. It's a beast.

Thats what I need. I have a pair of 3k ultra kazes running on two different crap fan controllers (putting both on one burnt out two of its channels).

I wonder if any distributor in canada is selling them.

That's why fan grills on high RPM fans are MANDATORY. 4k RPM is good for overclocking and gaming. Other than that I would leave it around 1600-1800 RPM when idling.

If you want a little more power there's the Delta TFB1212GHE 120x38mm Extreme High Speed which has the following specs:

Specifications: 120x120x38mm, 220.01 CFM @ 4600 RPM, 65.0 dBA, 29.40 watts, 2.45 amps, Maximum Air Pressure 26.44 mm H2O, 12v DC, 3 or 3+4 pin Molex header connector(s).

If your worried about noise buy some high grade sound insulation from Acoustipack. Knocks off anywhere from 60-75% of sound produced by high RPM fans. Especially effective on cases with front doors and no side or top fans and/or ventilation.

No, that controller is not meant to be used with fans that require less than 20W. Which defeats the purpose of having a fan controller in the first place if you plan on dialing down the speed to reduce noise when your not gaming.

The FC-5, however can be used with fans that have a low watt rating all the way up to 30W.

30w/channel? noice
I remember breaking my rear trying to find a nice, decent, and not so expensive controller to double my fans up.

A part of me says both those fans will be mediocre on a any fan controller since the EHE is rated at 7v-13v

http://www.delta.com.tw/product/cp/d...x120x381mm.pdf

GHE rated at 9-13v

http://www.delta.com.tw/product/cp/d...0x120x38mm.pdf

wouldn't it still consider to run very high when at those voltages or have trouble running when the voltage is under the rated voltages?

I believe you look at the WATTAGE and not the VOLTS. The FC-5 is rated for 30W therefore it is more than enough to run those 2 fans at their maximum capacity.
