Lamptron FC5v2 fan controller review

Powerful outputs will allow you to not only take controls over more than one fan per channels, but also can easily handle popular models of Water cooling pumps while precise display with ability to select display info color makes Lamptron FC5v2 easy to fit perfectly almost any system

Conclusion

Time for final words.

We liked:

  • Overall quality of the product
  • Sufficient list of accessories
  • Powerful output channels

We disliked:

  • Old fashioned ways of fan speed adjustment
  • No options to adjust the automatic controls

Lamptron FC5v2 is probably the best choice considering the wide selection of similar products. Powerful outputs will allow you to not only take controls over more than one fan per channels, but also can easily handle popular models of Water cooling pumps. Even more precise display with ability to select display info color makes Lamptron FC5v2 easy to fit perfectly almost any system. Thus the modest price of $59.99 in our mind is fairly justified for such a device.

Among some of the negative sides, we can note that Lamptron still uses variable resistorsdials and jumpers as main controls for its devices. We believeusing buttons or touch panels instead would make the device look more up-to-date. This would also make the control and automation setting selection more wider for end-user. Another thing is that FC5v2 does not include fan power splitters as there are very little who will use 30W fans in their systems while WC is still not affordable to everyone these day.

Despite of of that Lamptron FC5v2 is reallya great device which is hard to compare to with similar solutions of different manufacturers. For excellent combination of product quality, great functionality andreasonable cost Lamptron FC5v2 receives our “Recommended for purchase” award.
