Fan controller worth it?

[crazycoolrum]

Hey

Awhile back i built my first PC (thanks to you guys)

Recently there were some issues with the GPU overheating so i upped the GPU fan speeds (again, suggested by someone here) And i also decided to buy some extra case fans which i could not afford before. So i was wondering if i should also buy a Fan controller, it is worth it or just eye candy? also which make would you recommend that I buy? (under £30 pref)

thanks

I have never used a fan controller so never been worth it for me, I select low speed case fans that are not audible and 120mm with 60cfm replaces the air in you case many times a min.

IMOO, it is just eye candy, I had the NZXT Sentry-2 ( it is not the good one). If your GPU has overheat issue, you are better to replace the thermal compound, like http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-290x-thermal-paste-efficiency,3678.html or get the aftermarket GPU cooler, that will be better to buy the fan controller.
