Hi, I'm still trying to decide on a fan controller and I think I've narrowed it down to the following three options: -
Lamptron FC2
Akasa FC Six
Lamptron FC5 V3
Now the first two seem pretty similar in general but the Akasa unit offers 4 pin PWM control while the Lamptron is 3 pin voltage control.
Are there any major differences in quality between those two?
The 3rd option is obviously a lot more expensive and I'm presuming as an actual controller it's pretty much the same as the FC2 and the extra money is just getting you the display?
With the 3 pin vs 4 pin are they completely incompatible?, i.e the Akasa couldn't control Prolimatech Vortex and the Lamptrons couldn't control BitFenix PRO PWM
Thanks for any advice, who'd have thought picking fans and a controller would turn out to be the most complicated part of my system!

) That's interesting about the FC5 V3, what was wrong with it in controlling terms? The reviews I've found seemed to rate it quite highly if a little overpriced.
Now to pick some 140mm blue led fans to go with it.
