ARCTIC Introduces New Fan Controller with Linux and Windows Support

The controller was designed for modern PCs and workstations and features ten individually addressable channels. This architecture allows for the configuration of individual fan speeds for each connected fan, ensuring precise adjustment of airflow to match the system’s current load. Each port delivers up to 2 A of current, with a maximum total current of 4.5 A across all active channels. To ensure accurate power monitoring, the controller uses dedicated signal paths to provide individual speed feedback for each fan.

Software Compatibility and Operating System Support

The controller is designed for comprehensive compatibility with various operating systems and software environments. It supports Windows and Linux, with driver support for Linux integrated into the 7.2 kernel update. In addition, the device is compatible with various open-source fan control programs. This integration allows users to perform diagnostic checks, adjust advanced settings, and manage RGB lighting via third-party software.

To accommodate different case configurations, ARCTIC has provided several mounting options. The device can be attached inside the computer case using magnetic mounts or adhesive strips, enabling quick installation.

Price and Availability

The fan controller is available in the ARCTIC online store as well as through Amazon, eBay, and authorized retail partners. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is 16.99 EUR, but you can already get it for 11.99 € directly from Arctic on eBay.
