Kingwin Four Channel Turn Knob Multi-Fan Cooling Controller FPX-001

4 channel digital display fan controller is actually quite good, has a couple flaws such as it beaing a tad too small so it leaves a gap at the top of my 5.25 bays, not really a problem though. The other thing is it should be able to switch between farenheit and celcius, i can read both but some people cant, just having farenheit is a turn off for alot of people. Other than that though it feels a bit cheap but that doesnt take away from funtion, does what it says on the tin. controls my fans from high to low with no power issues (unlike thermaltake commander ft). Another great feature is you can turn the fans off all together which i dont see on other products, i actully have my first 3 channels set to intake fans and the fourth hooked up to another fan on my desk for the hot days (my exhaust is 2 fans running through my cpu aio cooler). Its more than simple to use as its not touch screen, only 4 dials

WARNING: The majority of these reviews relate to other devices, e.g. the USB 3.0 Hub and Fan Controllers. This review relates to the Kingwin HDD Switch.I had two problems with this the device on installation. Firstly, unlike similar devices, the cables are grouped into four thick harnesses (two are 12mm diameter) - complete overkill. It makes a tidy installlation near impossible. It would be far easier to fit just the single cables you need and ignore the rest.Secondly, one of the six switches didn't work. After quite a bit of effort using a needle probe, I discovered that from Switch #3, the 12 volts on the yellow wire were leaving the module but not arriving at the SATA connecter, hence a broken cable somewhere. Was this device fully tested? Fortunately I only require five switches. A few days later, one of the unbelievably-bright LEDS failed.I also noticed that, on switching a drive off, it immediately disappears from WIN10 Explorer, but on switching it back on it freqently does not reappear, requiring a PC reboot. One of the switches feeds my DVD drive; when dropping its power it almost always remains in Explorer. That is clearly not an problem with this device, but the wonders of Microsoft. "Sometimes it works this way, often in a different way" Inconsistency rules KO!(I also have a couple of H/D caddies and they always are recognised by Windows on power-up.)Too much effort to send it back. Will live with the flaws.

Just as described looks good when set up,I added this as I wanted a card reader but thought for the extra mony I could add the extra features.I do not think I will be using the fan controller to reduce the fan speeds as they were already running at the correct speed to keep my system at the correct speed.If you do not need the extras such as USB ports ect I would just buy a card reader.Also make sure your mother board has enough connection to plug this in, I had to do a few mods and add a few extras to plug all leads in as most mother boards today do not have a second USB connection or USB 2 connection

to be honest not to bad , looks nice and works fine ,very cheap and efficient .
