Fan Controller recommendation

[Corwin613]

Can anyone recommend a good fan controller? I have one currently but you can't adjust it manually or anything and it beeps when the temp changes...

Though I do admit to liking the LCD display panel that shows the date and clock etc but I've forgotten how to set it....

My system currently has 3 internal case fans and the cpu fan

Fan controllers are not really necessary... They are more trouble than they are worth. Try Googling for ideas

Most better motherboards can control fan speed. This is more important with CPU cooling fans. Antec and others make fans with built in high, medium and low fan speed switches. Here's an example of your kind of fan controller:

heh better you say? yeah well my newest computer currently is at least 6 years old so I am not sure if my motherboard does something like that plus not all my fans are plugged into the motherboard in the first place

If a person picked high quality case fans that were efficient and quiet in the first place, they would not need any kind of fan controller. Your 6 year old fans might have benefitted from being controlled all these years. We are only talking about case fans and not the CPU fan, right?
