Works great

Strengths:

I have this powering 18 Arctic P12 pwm pst fans for my 3 radiators running push pull. This lets me keep them all in the 900-1100 rpm range based on the curse I setup. Controller does a great job and hasn't let me down.

Additional Comments:

Owned for close to 2 years now. Good value for price compared to others and no need for lame software.

Does what it says

Strengths:

Good for 10 fans. Works best with the same or similar fans but can power anything.

Weaknesses:

Nothing yet although keep in mind you are really only controlling 1 fan, the 9 others will copy whatever you set for it.

Additional Comments:

After some initial hiccups and setup, it works like a charm. Keep in mind to plug into the glossy port opposite the SATA side. Also double check that whatever motherboard fan header you're plugging into is set to PWM mode in your BIOS, not DC. This is what gave some trouble at first. Running 3x corsair LL120's and 3x corsair QL120's

Disregard negative reviews

Strengths:

There were a lot of people saying that it couldn't control the speed of their fans, but it does and works perfectly fine. As other have mentioned there is only ONE port on it that is the "master" port. You need to connect a true PWM fan to this port as whever you do to that fan will be mirrored onto the other nine slave ports. You then need to connect it to the motherboard header, again a real PWM header. If you can do these two things it'll work just fine for you. One hiccup, if your board defaults your chassis fan header to DC, then this won't work. Go into your bios and change it from DC to PWM. I think this may be happening to a lot of people becasue once I set the fan header to PWM all of a sudden I had fan control.

Weaknesses:

- This will NOT allow you to individually control the speed of all the fans in your system. It is a HUB (splitter), not a fan controller. Know that going in and you'll be fine. - It is a bit thicker than it probably needs to be? It was a tight squeeze in an ITX case but manageable.

Additional Comments:

Get your fans, a free sata connector, a free motherboard PWM header, and go to town.

Works great

Strengths:

Can power upto 10 fans.

Weaknesses:

None that I can tell.

Additional Comments:

For those 2 star reviews the buyer must not have read the very, and I mean very, simple to follow guide. I had had no issue installing it and no issues with it not working.

No Issues

Strengths:

Comes with 2 sets of 3M tape to help installing it Works properly, isn't bulky.

Weaknesses:

Can be a little bit tough to install and cable manage around

Additional Comments:

I had no issues, works fine. Only needed the one velcro 3M tape, so also got a spare one of those. Installing was a little tricky in the Corsair 280X, but I just installed it on one of the drive bays. Works perfectly with (2) LL120 fans.

Exactly what I needed

Strengths:

Affordable. Small. Controls up to 10 fans!

Weaknesses:

None so far.

Additional Comments:

Disregard the poor reviews that say your mobo can't control fan speed. It can. You need to connect the controller to an available 4-pin chassis fan connector on your board, and connect one of your 4-pin PWM fans to the glossy port on the controller. This is outlined pretty clearly in the instructions. I'll be buying another one of these for my next build soon.

Great Fan Controller

Strengths:

Works great to control up to 10x PWM fans. My motherboard has 2x 4 pin fan headers and I wanted to expand. Bought the ThermalTake Commander FP about a year ago and it works great. You need to connect one of your PWM fans to the glossy port so your motherboard can detect the speed. All other fans can be connected to the other 9 available ports and will run at the same speed as the fan connected to the glossy port. Made a custom fan curve in my BIOS/UEFI and it works like a charm.

Weaknesses:

None that I can think of...

Additional Comments:

Great fan controller for the price. Guessing the other 2 reviewers didn't follow the (very) easy instructions...

Should Have read Reviews 1st

Strengths:

Has 10 ports, cool blue LED.

Weaknesses:

Does not split the control signal. if you plug fans into any of the 10 ports they are not controlled by the motherboard. The fans will run at full speed not what I expected. The new 2x 140 fans i got came with external connectors (piggyback) so I just piggy backed my 3 x 140 fans, and they run just fine.

Additional Comments:

Not what I expected, so i will be returning it. As the sales associate stated IT SHOULD control the fans. I do not recommend it, as 140mm fans get loud at full speed.

Not what I excpected

Strengths:

has 10 ports, which is great if you bought a cheap mobo with only one system fan header, like I did.

Weaknesses:

Does not split the control signal. if you plug fans into any of the 9 ports that are not controlled by the motherboard, the fans will run at full speed. with the ML120s that I added to my case, the noise was far more then I expected, so I had to remove one fan, and only use one pwm fan connected to the hub.

Additional Comments:

Not what I expected, but it does what I need it to do. I do not recommend fans that get loud at high speeds with this, as they will not get any speed control.
