Not for use with multiple fans per channel!
Reviewed by: NicePants42
Pros: The build quality and finish are excellent. Three metal face plates to match case color and several back-light colors to choose from make this unit attractive anywhere. Comes with 4 temperature probes and 4 fan wire extensions.
Cons: The maximum wattage per channel is not noted anywhere on the package or the instruction manual. My unit burned out yesterday, with the largest load being two 120mm LED fans on any one channel. This is cripplingly weak in my opinion. Avoid this unit if you need to control more than ~7W per channel. What REALLY gets me is that no retailer/reviewer that I've found actually knows the max wattage/channel, and it's not in the user manual!
Other Thoughts: Others here have complained about having the unit burn out, which doesn't surprise me. Considering the apparent quality of the rest of the unit, I assumed that it would support more than 7W per channel. I cannot understand how such an otherwise very versatile unit could be designed such that it can only handle one 120mm fan per channel - a $xx SB rheobus does better. The aesthetic versatility of this unit is useless without the ability to cope with a variety of fan configurations.
