Spec me an alternative Fan Controller

Harpss1ngh · 23 Jan 2012 at 13:02

I ordered a Lamptron FC5 V2 5.25" Fan Controller from OCUK just before New Years, however they informed me some time back they don't know if/when they will receive more stock.

Can anyone recommend me another good fan controller? Need to control my 4x Scythe 1850 RPM GT's on my RAD as well as a case fan or 2.

The GT's are connected via 2 2-way splitters if that makes any difference

I had 4 x GT14s, 2 x Arctic F12 and 2 x Arctic F9s running in Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus
Then I got Aqua Computer Aquaero 5 LT

Highly recommend an Aquaero controller especially if you use watercooling.
Which model you go for is entirely your choice, XT, PRO or LT model.

Basically - no need to mess with it once its setup - it'll automatically adjust your fans according to water temperature

How can it measure water temperature? Is there a probe to put in the Res?

AQ5 has options to put 2 pin temp sensors.
You can have temp sensors that fits to G1/4 holes of the res or you can have temp sensors with male-female thread that can be fitted in to RADs.

So that would be an optional extra then?

Yep

Threaded ones are close to £10 with out P&P and the plug-in type ones are about £4 with out P&P but OcUK doesn't have them.
