Akasa Fan Control Pro

[DR]

This is certainly the best fan controller on the market. Its functionality is great, it looks superb, and the build quality is excellent.

I bought one of these for my new custom PC.
It looks great.
In terms of its functionality it does NOTHING at the moment except
that it entertains my 5 year old daughter
(she loves flipping the LCD panel colours).

My case is the CM Stacker with two 4-in-3 modules and the cross fan.
All together there are 5 chassis fans installed :
- 2x 12cm front intakes
- 1x cross fan (intake)
- 1x 12cm rear exhaust
- 1x 8cm top exhaust
On top of that there are CPU, 2x PSU (Enermax Noisetaker) and GPU fans !!!
Never mind. The noisiest fan is the CPU one (Intel's "standard/reference" one).

I have two issues to sort out before this beauty can do anything (else) useful.

1. All the case fans came with 2 wire cables and Molex plugs.
So as it stands I cannot connect them to the unit.
I guess, to fully utilise the unit's control functionality I would need to
replace some of the case fans (all except the cross fan, I suppose).

2. I am not certain where EXACTLY place the temperature sensors.
Any clues or suggestions ?
Lets consider the CPU sensor.
Where shall I place it in relation to the processor and its fan ?
Or the case sensor. The case is huge so where shall I place it ?
I guess somewhere in the upper part of the system, as the hot air
tends to travel up, and close to the key components. But where exactly ?
OK, the choice is mine but I wonder what kind of ideas you guys may have.

Thanks and Regards

i must admit... they do seem to have stood the test of time

Yep.....got the one from SCAN.......Knobs rule! It makes my rig look almost worthy of space travel too.

A question about the heat sensors: Where would I put the one for the CPU? I can only think that under the heatsink would be the place, but this would mean that the heatsink and CPU would not seat properly.

Any suggestions format?
