looking for fan controller

[football52]

I found a fan controller that I really like, nice slick look, controls 5 fans, displays temp, has a clock, calendar basically everything you ever need. But it only has 6 watts per channel.

Is 6 watts enough to run a 200mm fan? I also have a 230mm led fan in the front.

If you have a better option let me know. This is the one that I like.

Don't know which fan you have, But it should work.
The CM 230mm fan is rated @ 3.36w

The NZXT Sentry 2 is said to be better than the 'lx'.

Have a look at the Bitfenix Recon

If you're fine with knobs, the Sunbeamtech Rheosmart is quite good too.

I don't like the knobs I like a led lit face.

I looked at the sentry 2 but I heard the touchscreen goes out quite fast

I'm not sure how long it would last.

The recon seems to be better & more reliable.
Check it out.

I have installed several of the NZXT controllers, I have yet to be impressed. Its a lot easier to fine tune with the knobs.
