$50 for a fan controller
I can't imagine how many gold pieces they want for the coolers and the PSUs.

Snoopingsoftware for the prc Servers is FreeIt's got better features than logitech, and lower resource usage than corsair. It's never crashed on me, ever.
Worst i've had is an issue with the 'forced' logins where it forgot my password (YES there is an offline mode, and it saves your settings)
Will i trust any of this stuff without reviews? Not a chance in hell!
but if that fan controller saves settings internally for static speeds, i can finally ditch my Corsair node pro
It's also ugly as hell, and looks totally unfinished with half a dozen connectors with exposed pins all over the place. How the f*ck does anyone use that molex connector? in the back of a case?
I want devices with generic standards for connectors, with free software, that can save settings internally to run software free. It's not a big ask.
Honestly if it says gamer gear I'm taking my ten foot pole these days, except for something such as mice... the vast majority is utter overpriced junk and Razer is leading the charge. The fact is though even mice aren't safe, what with the recent 'issue' with Omron switches... Commerce caught on, mass production and max profit is the name of the game, and that's a clear sign to keep the safest possible distance. On to the next new frontier... I reckon office gear, which is held to completely different metrics. But then that was always better already.
There is barely any reason to buy a new license unless you really want some specific new feature for the few times in a year where you run the software to adjust your settings.By plugging in a Molex connector. SATA isn't designed to handle the up to 100W power draw.Apart from their proprietary ARGB and miniaturized USB connector it ticks all of your requirements.
This device is literally set and forget. After setting it up it you could disconnect the USB and it will keep doing its thing as long as it's supplied with power.
