    Why would a PWM controller allow you to "choose between RPM or Voltages" on the LCD readout?

    But yes... a lack of visible heatsinks suggests PWM.

    Its hard to explain in terms that I can understand because they are very secretive about the PCB design. I will tell you that the way it works is unlike any fan controllers out there, and it is a very low heat design.

    well technically I could "fix" it by busting out my iron and soldering some caps on the line...

    It's just lamptron never gave a reply to my email of like 7 months ago so I just sort of assumed that I was stuck with "the squeal"

    From that HardwareCanucks Youtube review, it seems like a few things are lacking:

    - Voltage to 0.1v resolution: I thought most units already had a tenths-decimal readout on display? A positive integer value is somewhat useful, but I hope Lamptron can fix this with a firmware update... The same goes for Temperature.

    The unit is obviously capable of displaying "XXXXrpm" in the same area that the voltage readout appears...hmm

    - Are there (+) and (-) buttons to change fan speed in 1% increments? It seems like we can finger-smudge our way to a desired general fan speed, and then the 1% increments would be necessary (perhaps changing more rapidly the longer the touch-button is held). - Maybe a single knob for fully variable control (or pair of physical buttons) is in order. I would have liked 1 high-quality knob.

    - What is the Fan RPM resolution? I think about 30-RPM increments is the standard. That may be fine already.

    - Brushed Aluminum: It should probably be vertical, but I don't care much about that.

    Everything else seems great. I'm hoping these issues can be addressed with updates! If not... still a good control option.

    Full review just published at TechREACTION. Be sure to let us know what you think of it. We gave it our Silver Silicon award.

    A certain online shop owner said they've had nothing but problems with these controllers and to stick with the fc-5 / fc-2. Didn't get into specifics just saying! Let us know how it is.
