Aerocool X-Vision Fan Controller Review @ Kitguru

A fan controller is one of the premiere aftermarket products you can buy for a personal computer.  Of course they don't do much but, go a long way to add some bling to your "beige box".  Aerocool is one of the only companies to take the standard fanbus and push it to the n'th degree by adding digital displays and fancy moving lights.

But is all of that really necessary?

Once installed and powered on, we can see the 5 sections reporting fan speeds, and 5 sections of temperatures. Our first channel was for the CPU cooler, so you can see this fan was running at a modest 1400 rpm, and the heatsink where we attached the thermal sensor was only up to 28 degrees (channel 1), whereas the CPU block itself was running at 33 degrees (channel 2).

I think for some the ability to control fans is a key feature for those suffering with OCD but also may be the only option to keep an overstuffed enthusiast system cool in the heat of battle.
