Lamptron FC3 Fan Controller Review

Author: Dennis Garcia

Fan controllers are an often overlooked component of any computer system and too often we take advantage of what comes standard in our PCs and overlook the fact that things could be done better.  A crafty modder could design and build their own baybus solutions but that takes time and depending on your skill level can often lead to disaster.  

The Lamptron FC3 fan controller is a stylish fanbus that is designed to seamlessly integrate with the modern high-end computer and gives you total control over your chassis fans to help combat noise and available cooling power.  The FC3 also allows you to tune overall cooling performance by speeding up intake fans and giving you that much needed positive air pressure for proper cooling.

Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things. 

4x 30w output channels
CNC milled face available in 2 colors
Adjustable fan control

Aluminum face adds weight to an otherwise small device.
Fan speed determined by fan and by rheostat position
