"KAZE Q" Fan Controller

Pros: This is really a great controller, provided you don't need the ability to turn the fans off completely. The minimum voltage is ~6 volts, and turning the knob to max puts out the full 12 volts. The knobs turn smoothly and I've bought three so far without any troubles. The entire unit is easy to disassemble, too, if you decide to make a heatsink for it.

Cons: See below:

Overall Review: If anyone is burning out this fan controller, it's because they're stressing the transistors too much by running high-powered fans on the lowest possible speed. The more you turn down the fan speed, the hotter the transistors get as they contain the power that would have gone to the fan instead! If you're running four fans off this -- or any other fan controller -- and have them all set to nearly minimum speed, I highly recommend making a heatsink for the transistors to keep them running cool. If I touch the heatsink I made, it gets pretty warm even with four fans (60mm, 60mm, 80mm, 92mm) @ only half speed. I cut a rectangular piece of copper wide enough to make contact with all four transistors, then drilled four small holes to line up with the four transistor holes. Lastly I dabbed on a little Arctic Silver Alumina for heat transfer and put four standard coarse-threaded case/hard drive screws through the transistors and into the holes I drilled to hold the heatsink on tigh

Pros: Bought this controller for my son's system because it's what he wanted, I prefer one that will actually turn the fans (or lights) completely off. While this unit doesn't turn the fans off, it does appear to controll the speed quite well, and my son is very happy with it.

Cons: Doesn't have an off setting. I didn't take off for this, since I researched it and knew beforehand, but just wanted to make sure I pointed it out.

Overall Review: Bought it for my son and he loves it, so 5 eggs. I bought a different brand for less that has controllers that actually click off for my system. Just make sure you get the type you want, and don't knock off eggs for features not advertised.

Pros: This piece is perfect for people wanting to reduce fan noise during quiet time and increase fan speed for gaming. It comes with those 4 extension cables which can crowd the case but make it stress free as far as getting power across your case. That said its very easy to fix that with a few cable ties. This product does what its supposed to do and that black finish looks very nice.

Cons: Nothing.

Overall Review: Buy this if you want to quiet a few fans, great product and feels like a quality built piece.

Pros: Very simple and sleek design. Brushed alluminum facing looks great in corsair 800D. Installation was easy fits perfect into a startech 5.25" to 3.5" adapter. Works awesome, especially with wc'ing and benchmarking. Allows you to turn fans wide open for benchmarking and back down to nearly 15% for daily use. For today's high flow(loud) fans a fan controller is a necessity.

Cons: None as of yet lets just hope it lasts. No 5.25" model with the same design.

Overall Review: Would love to have a 5.25" model with 6 fans. This thing is great. No annoying flashing led light that lights up your room at night.

Pros: Does the job quiet well. Nothing frilly or excessive. Brushed aluminum looks awesome!

Cons: warning!! you can break/overload it if you go crazy with how many fans are hooked up to it!!

Overall Review: This things works awesome if you have 4 fans hooked up, one at each input. I tried to be experimental and hooked up 8 fans, 2 to each input... yaaa didnt go so well at first it worked fine, but i noted all the fans were sluggish. I didnt mind too much After about a week 3 of the 4 knobs seized up and the fans shut down... Nothing wrong with the fan controllers, i was just being an idiot lol

Pros: Very nice little unit that can be installed in a 3.5 bay. Provides easy quick access to fan control without having to see the panel. No annoying LEDs or fancy displays that you have to look at to know where your fans are.

Cons: Might not line up with front of case exactly.

Overall Review: I've got an older case that I modded heavily. Instead of a slot to fit my screws in on the 3.5" cage, there are holes. Because of this on my box the controller is either a touch too far out, or a touch too far in. Otherwise, GREAT unit. Best part about it, in my opinion, is that this can be operated purely by feel. Because my box is under my desk, I didn't want display panels that I need to look at in order to see what rate my fans are at or where I need to push to change speeds. With this I can easily feel where the control are and then twist one way or the other to adjust, all without looking.

Pros: Four fan controls in a small package. Well made and sturdy.

Cons: Does not have heatsinks on it. Gets too hot to touch when in use

Overall Review: I dropped one egg for the lack of heatsinks, but thats not a good reason not to get this. I tossed on a few old self stick video sinks and all is well.

Pros: This is my third review of this product, first one was good, second one was bad and now back to good again. I contacted New Egg and Scythe, they both offered to pay shipping for a return. Turns out I don't need a return. I pulled the controller from my computer and checked the connections. The wire where it plugged into the controller unit for #2 fan was shorting out, I took a small screw driver and pressed the connector pins in the plug connected to the wire so it would mak a more secure connection with the pins on the other plug and all was fixed.

Cons: Not all companies are like Scythe and New Egg

Overall Review: This is the best fan controller for my taste and case. No fancy lights just a simple turn of the knob to turn it up or down. It has a clean simple look and as soon as my other fan gets here my computer case will be LED free besides the indicator ones. The showcase of my computer is its performance not some fancy light show.
