Lian-Li fan controller

Nick1881 · 12 Jun 2007 at 11:14

Am i being dumb or did OcUK used to sell a Lian-Li fan controller that was black and a perfect match for a Lian-Li case?

If this does exist whats the model number and will OcUK be getting them in stock again?

Also while on the subject is there room for more fans in a PC7? or just the 2 x 120mm fans that come in it?

Thanks

Nick

They did yes, the TR-3

Yes they used to sell the silver and black ones....Looks like they stopped selling them now..

The Akasa AK FC-03 Fan Controller Pro is a far better fan controller then the lian-li one....

Thanks for that.

I just want something that will fit in well with a PC7 as I may be getting one soon.

Anyone got pics of a nice fan controller in a PC7?

I haven't got that case but can recommend the Scythe kama meter

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=bb-000-sy&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=189

comes with a silver, white and black bezel.

not the best of pics but here's mine with the black bezel on:

the back light also changes colour.

here's the Scythe website showing all of the colours.

Yea i like the scythe, thanks for the pics.

i have a zalman one:

not to everyone's tastes i appreciate, however i think it would looks really smart to take one of the original bay covers and drill some holes in it to fit the zalman controller

seen some pics of the scythe on my m8's computer, it looks pretty smart

Is it possible to get a box with would allow me to plug cold cathodes in and turn them on/off at leisure?

I've got both the Zalman and the Karma Meter...the Zalman works better, has more channels and is generally a good piece of kit but is pretty ugly (imo) whereas the Karma has the edge on looks but isn't a good as a fan controller, it's got an annoying delay when changing fan speed, i've kept it installed though as it looks very nice, plus it's got the temp sensors which are handy

Thanks for the input, im sure I could live with a little delay while changing speed.

Think am most likely going to get the new Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller with builtin Real-time display of overall PC power consumption (30watt to 800watt)

Oooh, havent seen that before, It looks quite funky! If only I was building at the mo....

PK!

Jesus, how lame is the quality there

Arcane · 14 Jun 2007 at 20:22

This looks a very good bet, the Zalman ZM-MFC1 PLUS, all the functionality of the older version but with a much nicer finish, released the end of June apparently. I'll probably sell the Karma Meter and get this in black. The black version's also got black knobs as opposed to silver, something that particularly appeals.
