What is new for V2?

I was looking at getting the original at some point.

They have been discontinued. There are better fan controllers available now.

The only one i know of is the Grid+. There are others which can be controlled through windows but need a drive bay.

You can control each fan individually, or group individual fans together. The control can be done using either the CPU temp or the GPU temp. And the fan speed can go from 0% to 20% and then 20% to 100% in 5% increments. Also it can now fit 4 pins fans on the headers, though they will be controlled via voltage control rather than PWM.

I cant wait to get mine!

I've got an original i'm going to be selling on the MM soon.

i've been waiting for the V2 for a while now as well. Should have been out this month already.

having 6 independently controlled channels is a big plus for me and its been getting rave reviews!

This looks awesome but it says "Maximum Combined Wattage 30W". Probably a stupid question but does this mean if i run 6 fans off it they cannot exceed over 30W of power? I say this as my corsair fans im sure are rated at 12W each fan.

I think you mean 12V? Look at the fan again, should give you voltage and amps, then multiply for W.

Well mine arrived the other day and does everything it says on the tin! The only issue i had is that most of my fans were PWM so dont like going under 40% without the PWM signal. But when i put 3 pin fans on it they worked exactly as intended!
