The option for more than 3 channel control would be welcomed on future models to allow the ability to control every fan in a high performance system. It does have a minor amount of negative points but so do most other fan controllers. Trio is a good fan controller but fairly expensive fan controller with plenty of worthwhile features and smart aesthetics. They also act as a safety feature, sounding an alarm if the temperature sensor detects a rise above the programmable temperature limit. We found them to be fairly accurate and offer a good reading of the desired component’s temperature to within a few degrees of its actual temperature. The temperature sensors are a non-obtrusive design so that they can be easily placed in a wide variety of locations. We have no complaints whatsoever about the display, it was an incredibly useful and worthwhile addition.

The ability to turn off the display when necessary is also a very important feature for a lot of users. Convenience is always in mind when using the display as the fan RPM and temperature reading are easily observed with minimal fuss. The VFD display was bright, crisp and understandable. Trio was able to control a pair of fans when using a splitter. With only 3 fan control channels, the use of 3-pin fan splitters is a necessity for anybody wanting to control more than 3 fans. We could hit the maximum rated RPM of every fan we tested and allow them to function at zero RPM for a very quiet computing experience. While this could be the case, a few design flaws unfortunately jeopardise the possibility of un-criticisable success.Īs far as controlling individual fans go, our testing showed that the FC. The feature set suggests that their needs were addressed and that Akasa have a perfect product that is useful to everybody. Trio fan controller was built with the needs of the people in mind.

Good fan controller
