Hello, Looking to replace my fan controller. The one I am currently using is a NZXT Sentry LX High Performance Fan Controller (Black). Does not keep time,eats batteries. Temps off by 10+ and rpm not allows right. Would like opinions from people on what they are using and why. I did a couple of google searches and read reviews , nothing I have read has been very useful. For me cost is not a issue ,but quality is.

Thank

I have the same fan control too, i just switch to the Sunbeam RHK-EX-SV Rheobus-Extreme 5.25" 30W 6-Fan Controller Panel

Because i'm running push pull on my 360mm radiator so i need this fan control, also this fan control only take 1 5.25"bay and not 2 like the NZXT
Another thing is each chanel of this fan control have 30 watt output

They make it in black too. I had an ol' 4 channel years ago. Good stuff.

Don't worry about temps etc. A great fan manual controller lasts forever and is all you need. The 30 watts is a bonus so you can daisy chain fans on one knob.

One reason that i use this fan control is i have 6 120mm x 38mm 4000 rpm fan and i'm worry that a normal fan control with 12w per channel will not be enough for those 6 fan
 
I recently got a Sunbeamtech and love it .. Knobs have great resistance, looks as good as you'd expect and if you run 24/7 it lets you bypass the knobs and run the fans from a motherboard pwm signal..
 
Thanks to all that responded, I went to Newegg and bought the black one. I liked the price and 90% of the reviews were positive. Except a few that stated it about blew up their computer, ( I was thinking WOW Really ). I like the basic look and it will free up a slot for a usb card reader.
