Good unit, needs work

Reviewer: cooksta (1)
Construction is pretty solid on this controller. The capacitors look very solid, the PCB itself is well manafactured, with good solder joints and solid connections throughout.
The power delivery comes cleanly and effeciently, I''m running two circuits of 3 fans in parallel on two channels and I haven''t experienced any problems thus far running these circuits at 2200RPM. I have a MCP655 pump attached as well, and it controls the RPM quite cleanly.
The brushed aluminum is quite a nice touch, it''s matte black and it''s a little shiny. It may stick out a little with matte black towers and it''s for the most part a very subtle difference.
The unit itself is sandwiched, the touch screen at the front, a controller in the middle, and finally the main PCB at the back.
It''s all detachable, which I found incredibly useful as I made a custom acrylic cover for it to suit my case.
The touch screen can be twitchy at times. I''m pretty sure it''s a resistive touchscreen, meaning it uses pressure rather than electrical capacitance from your finger to control. The screen itself when dirty and oily isn''t as affected, it''s still quite easy to navigate. Cleaning it is easy too, most oil and dirt lifts right off rather than being spread around.
It''s difficult to try and get your fans to run at a particular percentage, even though I may want 50%, I can usually only get ±5% within that value. Add to that the control for controlling fan speed is very close to the bottom of the front panel, it makes it difficult to control it precisely.
It can also be twitchy switching from fan to fan, if I want to switch back to a fan I previously set, the auto mode button is right next to the arrow, meaning that I often put that fan into auto mode trying to switch fans. An annoyance at best, a major frustration point when you''re try to be precise with exact variables.
If you want more precise control, it''s probably best to use a stylus.
No discernible instructions either, lot''s of fiddling. Took me a couple of days to figure out how to switch from voltage readout to RPM. It got frustrating when I needed a reference point.
Otherwise, a solid fan controller for the price.
Good product

Works perfect and best of all it looks amazing in my corsair 800d. Came with fan extensions that were more than long enough to reach fans in this enormous case. Could use more documentation on how to use it but it was simple to figure out. Giving it a 4 because the depth was short and I had to drill holes and remove my screwless mounts to get it mounted but it was worth the effort. It matches my case perfect and looks/works great.
Great fan control needs tweaking

The fan controller is a beauty and looks amazing in my case. Does the job intended to do well.
cons:
The touch controls do need tweaking because they sometimes took a couple swipes of the finger to work. Also had a few dead pixels. And It does not come with any thermal tape for the sensors...makes them useless. For the amount of money I paid unclude the thermal tape.
Great fan controller

I''ve been using this for almost 4 months in my new build. This thing controls 6 fans and provides for 6 thermal sensors. You can set this up as manual or setup fan speed based on temps. Great illumination and easy to setup. Can switch between f and C and monitor fan speed by either voltage or rpms. There are cons: 1. the device isn''t long enough to fit flush in bay nor is long enough to be stable in the bay without having to use a screw on the none-keyless side of the bay. 2. There isn''t any directions what so ever. I had to Google YouTube for setup directions. 3. No temp senor tape at all. Had purchase after receiving controller.

 bad installing
Reviewer: barefoot (1)
the controller is good nice look and matches my case well, the only thing i don''t like is a light around the unit shows...the unit need to come out a little more to mount flush and the bracket needs tho be longer with a slid slot..over all it works and has the power to do what you need.
Good Controller

This is a pretty good controller compared to others I''ve seen and read about. It''s not flashy but has almost everything one could ask for. It controls 6 fans (my case has 7)and has 6 temp probes. The touch panel is easy to use. Now for those with screwless bay mounting, you may have to use the screws provided. It also can be operated manually or automatically by zone temps. Here is how I rated it: 4 - 4.5 for performance and usability. 3ish for the following reasons. 1. The instruction manual sucks. I had to pull up the YouTube video to find out how to configure certain things. For $75, they could afford better instructions. 2. No thermal tape for the sensors. What good are sensors if you can''t mount them. Once again, $75, they can''t through in $2-3 tape. 3. As mentioned, the mounting brackets are real short. For the price, they should be longer for stability. 4. Lastly, the pricing seems to be a little high compared to other controllers on the market but this negative slides for me because it works like a champ once setup.
Great Except for Install Issues

I purchased two Touch fan controllers (black and silver) for different Cooler Master cases. The cases are model ATCS 840 cases. These cases have special locking mechanisms for the 5.25 inch bays. I had to remove the special mechanism from the outside of the bay in which I installed the Touch controller. Even after removing the mechanism, I had to drill a hole on either side of the bay as the holes on the Touch did not line up with any of the slots on the bay cage. I must say I was disappointed about this as what should have been a very easy install became much more complicated. It was not easy trying to determine where to drill the hole as you were working almost with no guides. After drilling a hole on each side of the bay cage, I was able to install the Touch controller with no further difficulties except for a faulty extension fan line that was in the box. Based on this experience you need to give users more options for attaching the Touch in the bay. Also since it is shorter than a DVD drive the special attachment mechanism for most DVD drives is not usable. Other than these two issues (that''s why I gave it four stars), it looks great and works well.
 Great Product

FrozenCPU shipped fast. Product was everything I hoped for. Sleek face matches my black case perfectly. 30 watts per fan channel, unit is well constructed. Only cons are actually minor gripes. The heat sensors could be longer. I have a Thermaltake Armor+ Full case which is huge. Depending on where you want the sensors, you could have a length issue. My other minor quibble is that I wish it had full sides rather then short sides but that''s just personal preference. Using the supplied screws it firmly attached in the bay but without them one side had some play.
Otherwise it works flawlessly, gives your rig an understated but high tech look and has power to control all those air cooling OC''er fans. Buy it fast, they are very popular and are sold out in a day or two of them getting stock
Sexy fan controler

Looks great and works even better. ez hook up.the options are great. the screen is crisp and clear. the controls are a little jumpy, like the video says, but u can get to were u want to go fast and very close. It goes to 51% or 49% insetd of 50% on the first few trys. those are close anuff for me, it is just fan speed. over al looks cool works great and the temp sensors it comes witha are great for finding hot spots,dead air in the case, makes adjusting the fans cake
