Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black) - Retail

Reviewed By: CityRebel on 1/7/2010

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 20W per channel
Comes with 2 adapters for 4 pin molex
Has 1 short 3 pin extension

Cons: Doesn't have many adapters or extension cables, but for the price you can afford to buy as many cables as you need.

Other Thoughts: For some reason the cpu fan controller can not be lowered any and keep the blue light.

When reviewers said the LED's were bright, they weren't kidding! I hooked my system up in the living room, and pointed the LED's down the hall. The light extended down a 30 foot hallway and into the back of the room at the end!

Pros: Large heatsinks on this unit set it apart from most others that typically have no heatsinks at all. This allows it to control larger and more powerful fans (which are exactly the type you really need a fan controller for!). I have a 150CFM 120x25mm fan inside my Tuniq Tower but my old Vantec Nexus couldn't handle it. This handles it without any issue.

Knobs allow full range of control over the fan speed including the ability to turn each fan completely off with a nice solid-feeling "click" at the end of the knob's rotation.

LED's change color at 7v.

Cons: The LED's on this unit are VERY bright. They could just as well have been used in an LED flashlight. With no other lights on in my room at night the 4 LED's on this fan controller light up my room enough that I could easily read a book in bed if I wanted. The LED's do turn off when the fan is turned off but that may not provide enough cooling for the system overnight with all 4 fans turned off.

Other Thoughts: Great unit for the price, very close to perfect. If you aren't using this in a bedroom then the bright LED's might not be an issue. Or you can just do what I do and put a small square piece of cardboard in front of the controller each night before you go to bed to block out the light.
