IEatHardDrives Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I was looking on newegg and seen this its an ASPIRE 609 Fan Master Thermal Monitor it controls the speed of 4 fans and monitor heat from 4 devices is this worth $30.00 if so is this a good one?

Freidog Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Seems like it's made by super flower and resold by Aspire (amoung others probably) which is good thing, Super Flower makes some pretty good quality stuff.$30 is a reasonable price for an LCD temp monitor + fan controller.The question is how much do you get out of the temp monitoring. It can be helpful to monitor a few devices if you really think you'll be stressing them, the PSU and ram (if overclocked / over volted). Maybe you want an ambient case temp. But the likelyhood of it providing substantial usefull information is slim.Straight fan controllers that support 3-4 fans are readily availible for about $10 or even less. So, do you want to spend $20 on temperature monitoring? Knowing that it is mainly a cosmetic and not functional item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 It just looked like a good deal but there is probly software that can control fan speed and tell the temp I think the case im getting has heat sensors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
