A First Look at the Fan Controller:

These days there is a flood of different fan controlling products on the market. They offer so many advanced features that it can be difficult to decide or differentiate between products, but here we have an exception. The Enermax UC-A8FATR4 4-channel fan controller stands out in a crowd because it boasts a multitude of the newest features wrapped up in a very attractive package. This controller was sent over to Extreme Overclocking by the nice people at Crazy PC.

When the controller arrived, unlike a lot of products these days, the packaging is solid, very attractive, and clearly printed is a list of all the features and specifications of the controller.

Inside there are: the fan controller, 2 interchangeable aluminum faceplates, 2 RPM signal wires for motherboard, mounting kit for 3.5" HDD, a bag of hardware, and a user's guide.

Here are the RPM signal wires for motherboard. They are actually splitters that allow a fan to be plugged into the motherboard, while also being plugged into the fan controller. This is for anyone who monitors fan speeds in their BIOS or uses any fan software.
