Fan Controller recommendation

The 5 LT is voltage control only, i wouldn't recommend running pwm fans via voltage , the Aquaero 6 LT is both Pwm and voltage and worth the extra , i run an Aquaero 6 XT and its the best fan controller i've ever used.
 
Not true.

The aquaero 5 LT has one 4-pin PWM fan header and I think one 2-pin PWM signal header. User just needs to make a 2-pin plug from 2-pin header and 12v power from PSU to 4-pin PWM fan connector to fan or fan hub for many fans on same PWM signal.

The key features of the aquaero 5 include:
· Programmable four channel fan controller
· USB 2.0 and aquabus interface
· Four fan outputs with current measurement
· Versatile control options
· Eight temperature sensor inputs
· Flow sensor input
· Output for IR transmitter
· Three LED outputs
· Potential-free switch
· Two additional power outputs
· Extensive alarm options
· Acoustical alarm
· Speed signal output for status evaluation
· Expandable to a maximum of 10 fan channels


Aquaero 5 series (all basically same) were undeniably the king of fan controllers before aquaero 6 series came out with even more features.

Aquaero 5 LT at £50 is still a very good choice for people who can't afford the much higher £90 price of 6 LT and don't need more than 2x PWM channels.

Surprised no one has mentioned this so http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/corsair-commander-pro

6 pwm fan headers and can be daisy chained, fan splitters can be used but you’d loose reported speeds info. Just another option.

Best

Only because it's not available from ocuk:p

But I am actually using it (mini), also using water temp sensor connected to it to control fan speed and it works perfect:) only issue I had is it can't control pwm pump.

There is also new option NZXT Grid V3 for £49, but I've not seen any reviews so not sure. It's only for fans though (no sensor headers)

Aquaero 5 LT is a lot better fan controller for similar or less money.
