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

Pros: It is good I can control all my fans right from the front of my case. 1 molex = 4 fans so thats nice as well. I thought the construction was pretty good I didn't notice anything flimsy.

Cons: The LED's are way to bright. They light up the entire room at night. I'm either gonna paint them black or wire in a resistor to drop the brightness. Knocked and egg for that.

Pros: Each controller is rated at 20W, easily handling air cooled systems. Solid feeling knobs can take fan from off to full speed. Clean connections in the rear. 14 dollars.

Cons: "Ultrabright" LED's are just short of lasers (not really), but they are blinding. I have a case door that covers them or I would have to take some kind of action.

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor if you have 3pin fans to control (I did), buy at least 4 12" extensions with it and save some time and S&H, you will likely want them.

Pros: really empoewering now that i can controll fan speed and comp is quiet

Cons: leds BRIGHT BRIGHT no female to male converter so you can get those short fan cables

Overall Review: great and easy to use

Pros: It does what it says it does, works fine, the lights are bright but the case fan of my NZXT case seems to dull down the brightness

Cons: ONLY COMES WITH 2 4-3PIN FAN CONNECTORS!!! WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? had to buy two converters, was cheaper to buy the fan with the converter as an accessory costing me 11$, oh well, nice controller regardless.

Overall Review: little bit of a pain to install in a tooless case but it fits nicely,

Pros: It works! lol that is of course the most important thing. The knobs are easy to play with and it seems sturdy. It’s got a few connectors with it (listed in other thoughts) all that I need and more. Its got a heatsink on it to keep it cool. Unlike some other fan controllers you can turn the fans off and the leds change from red to blue at 7v (just seems cool to me but may be usefull to someone). It also has in the instructions a way to reverse the leds to instead make the led blue under 7v and red when above so you can have the led you want at the power level you want. You can use it for cathodes too! :)

Cons: The leds are insanely bright. Believe me. Don’t look into them for long. Lol. I got a front door on my case that covers them so it doesn’t bother me. But don’t let that deter you from buying this. 4 small pieces of black duct tape will solve that problem and that would be worth it because besides that this product is perfect.

Overall Review: It comes with 2 molex (4pin) to 3 pin connectors (for fans with only molex connectors), a molex Y splitter (incase you have no more molex connectors unused this will let you use this because it requires a molex connector to connect to your power supply), a 3pin to 2 pin connector, and mounting screws. Note that this only has TWO molex to 3 pin converters, so if you have 3 fans that you wanna connect to this and they all have molex connectors you might need to buy a new fan that has a 3 pin connector instead because iv only ever seen 3pin - 4 pin converters being sold for turning a 3pin to molex, NOT molex to 3pin. Weird… anyway, be aware of the gender of your converters.

Pros: 20W/channel Cheap Large knobs LEDs easy to remove (not soldered into the board)

Cons: Super, extremely bright LEDs. (Two layers of blue painter's tape still couldnt cut it.) The provided cables are useless, short, and too few. Knob notch hard to see. (I used whiteout for better visibility.) Not much speed variation for fans. (I have to turn the knob past 50-60% before my fans actually started spinning.)

Overall Review: I tried soldering a 22kOhm resistor on the middle lead of the LEDs, but failed. I didnt have the right tools. I just removed them. I have two Cooler Master Blue 120mm R4s or two Aerocool Shark 140mm on each channel with no problem so far.

Pros: Works like it is supposed to. Interior housing is black, looks good in my machine.

Cons: LED's are way to bright. I read about the bright LED's and blew it off because I like a little bling in my builds. They were so bright I had to move my machine from the desktop to the floor because it hurts the eyes when you look at them head on.

Overall Review: Quick fix to the LED problem. 1) Take some electrical tape 2) Cut four small pieces 3) Place over LED's 4) Place computer back on desk. Problem solved.

Pros: Works great.

Cons: My exhaust fan didn't reach the connector by 1cm. :( Had to buy a extending cord for that..

Overall Review: Really, really bright LED lights.
