Lamptron Intros FC6 Four-Channel Fan-Controller

btarunr · Apr 29, 2010, 09:24 AM

Lamptron released its newest fan-controller, the Lamptron FC6. This four-channel controller provides analogue control over each of the four channels independently, complete with LED displays for each channel, and lets you monitor fan speeds and temperatures. The controller occupies one 5.25" drive bay in your case, and comes with a brushed-aluminum bezel. Each of the four channels can give out up to 20W of power, and connect to the fans over the 3-pin standard fan connectors. The LED display comes in several colour options. Lamptron's new fan-controller will start selling in the US soon, for US $45.99.

Now that is a sexy controller! Don't tell my Scythe Kama, but she's getting the boot when this is available.

so...they they took the FC-5, lowered the channels by 10 watts and called it a new product?

What's the difference between the FC-6 and the FC-5 reviewed at TPU the other day? P.D: Apart from the 20 watts per channel.

Hey fellas, differences between the FC6 and the FC5 is that the FC6 is meant to be a lower cost solution. Lowered wattage, and some features removed, takes the cost down for a budget product. The FC5 will be receiving a facelift as well in revision 2 to correct that LCD problem.
