Computers these days are not what they used to be in terms of heat output. Air cooling by fans is most common in today’s PCs, but while fans offer great cooling, they also come with the disadvantage of creating noise. The more air pushed through a system, the louder it tends to be. Most commonly the only fan in a PC with controllable speed is the CPU fan. This may help with the noise of the CPU fan, but it doesn’t quiet down all the rest of the fans in the machine. Due to this dilemma, fan controllers have become increasingly popular in the PC hobbyist community over the years. Thankfully we were able to get our hands on one of the best fan controllers currently, known as the Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme.
