[Gamingphreek]

About to order this is this a deent quality controller? If not can anyone recommend one around that price?

It's supposed to be pretty good. Personally I'm looking at getting a superflower fan controller. However a lot of this is up to personal preference on looks I'd say. Check out Tom's Hardware's review on a whole lot of fan controllers - it may help.

Nexus Controllers...

Not many fan controllers have 4 lines, all capable of supporting a 92mm Tornado + a little.

Are you suggesting Nexus controllers?
Seems like that Enermax thar i like is one of the best, because i like manual control of my temps.

Yeah, for manual control I think it comes down to a choice of three:
* That Enermax one
* The Superflower / Akasa one
* Coolermaster's Cool Drive 4

For me I decided on the superflower because it's cheapest, has many faceplates and led colours, and looks better than the enermax (imho). I didn't like the enermax 'cause of the led situation, and I'd prefer to only have one fan speed / temp displayed at a time. However the enermax does have a greater voltage adjustment range, but this comes with the problem of the alarm going off at 1000rpm for the fans - too high for some 120mm fans. As for the cool drive 4, I'd prefer to be able to control any fan at once (don't like the one dial for them all), and also the dial (apparantly) isn't very sensitive. As such you have to turn it about 4 times to go from highest speed to lowest, and I'm sure that'd get very irritating.

Anyway, as I said before, I think it's mostly a personal decision on looks and controls for fan controllers.

Yeah, I guess it's a better fan controller in the true sense of the word. But I do like to have readouts of fan speed and temperatures (as do many people).
