News - Corsair Commander Mini becomes available, costs £54.99

[flearider]

you can't run pumps off it up to 1amp on fans .. you would be better of either spending a bit more getting a 30w unit or spending a lot less and getting a 15w unit just for fans ..

this seems to be all gimmick with no true body

Not as nice looking though as something like a Scythe Kaze Master in a front drive bay and there is something tactile and satisfying about manually turning a knob. ;-)

I think you've quoted me out of context there. My "It's not ridiculous" comment was referencing the the mark-up from the American price.

But I didn't say the UK/US difference was ridiculous. I said £55 is ridiculous.

The comment about the difference in prices was after.

My H100i gives me four fan control points, and the headers on my board offer enough extra mounts if I need them. If I was going whole hog on a full custom loop again, I would consider the Commander Mini, because it seems to offer more than a Big NG and looks to be better value than an Aquaero controller.

The link software is fairly easy to live with.

My bad then ! No worries

$60 + 20% VAT = $72

$72 = £43.46 (according to Google)

Therefore ripoff = £11.54

Spreadie: you can control pumps off the BigNG and the Aquaero, according to Rearider you cannot off the Commander Mini. For watercooling that is a big difference.

After saying that the Big NG has not been upgraded in years, software is very clunky

Fair point - I used to run my pumps off Molex, so I hadn't considered that.
