Aerocool Touch Screen Fan Controller V12XT Unboxing and First Look

[UnderlinedDesigns]

my fans only run 800rpm max!?!?!? I HAVE THE SHITTY SENTRY LX btw

[Elexlumer]

yeah that has to be fixed cause my tower is on the ground and it will look shit from my veiw lol

[stevethemeave45]

quick question: can it plug into regular 4 pin (120mm) fans?

[StanBMX354]

Jay i got one, and my pc is lower than me so whatever the dealbreaker :)

[thefuzz1669]

u really didnt see the plastic wow man.=0 heh

[lewisner]

I have one of these but I am getting rid of it because it has like NINE wires inside the PC case.

Good video though.

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

does this work on a water cooling pump?

[gamesNweapons]

like nr. 100^^

[ryanmichaelhaley]

Collin...LIIIIIIIIIGHTS!!!

[evilwarcow]

I call for a Redux of this review. But this time for the love of Peter. PEEL THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SHEET OFF THE UNIT. I was just cringing at it while looking at it. I think that protective plastic sheet was the cause of your problems XD.

[3rflyingcom]

Im a bit confused on the "Auto" part. The idea is to maintain a set temp right? For example CPU fan1. Lets say I call 55c nominal temp. When temps get above 55c will the controller automatically ramp up fan rpm until temps drop or max speed is reached? AND when temps get below 55c will it rev down the fans until minimum rpm is reach or temps start to climb????

[juandacal]

10:56 minutes, is not a quick video

[LAWSON189]

When fading the clips in dont also fade in the audio, kinda anoying. but awesome vid

[chathuraisawesome101]

sexiest fan controller eva, if u can;t turn the fan off, how low will the voltage drop

[mexicanmanjohn]

wow amazing video man. this fan controller sure is sexy!

[ktucker147]

That is nice man.

[OdinLorden]

you need to work on those transitions dude, you're interrupting yourself =p

[MrAdrianPetcu]

thanks mate.very nice.

[galaxiesaver]

this comment wont randomly get the most thumbs up :P

[mainenwo]

@Trubyd44 great video, but i think your being a little too hard on the product on that viewing angel, if it would of been unable to see from the left and right sides you'd have a point but all in all the LCD screen looks ok to me again thanks for the review i saw this fan controler on amazon and thought it looked cool

[neo36uk]

thanks for the review. did you manage to get the temperature sensors unplugged? i am thinking of getting this but i will deffo need to unplug the CPU sensor cable from the unit!. cheers

[VicViperXxXxX]

Did he say hes doign a Un bobping?

[mick3429]

@VicViperXxXxX i belive he said un boting

[TheDutchTango]

Great job with the review man!! Realy nice! espacialy with full hd ofcourse! I'm about to purchage a V12XT and i think its a pretty good fan controller as you showed in the review! they lcd screen isn't a problem for me because my pc is just under eye level.

[wcchalo]

great review

[fnixirix]

hie, i need to know... i got fan 200mm which is using molex connector, what if i get those converter, molex to 3 pin n plug to this V12XT Fan Controller....

will it work ??? can i still be able to adjust the rpm as well ??

really need to know.. thx !

[MrStigaMan]

Extraordinary review dude. Thanks. I was worried cause I thought my V12XT was broken. The lame angle of vision when watched from below is unacceptable. I hope aerocool will fix this someday. Anyway is evern nowadays one of the coolest frontal panels with LCD screen. Is huge and looks outstanding. I recommended it but only if look your pc from above or by the sides. The cool factor is important and if you plan to build an spectacular PC the V12XT offers good looking, taste and simplicity.

[bisnonnocanapa]

hi mate can you tell me if this thing its able to completely shut off fans?

[Trubyd44]

@bisnonnocanapa No. :(

[DmoneyS2K001]

Hi I came across, your video, and was wondering if you could help me. I recently bought one of these and hooked everything up, when I try to adjust the fan speed, it won't work, I mean it lights up, it beeps when you touch it, it shows everything connected, but it just won't seem to adjust my fan speed, any suggestions if you don't mind, I would really appreciate your help, thank you

[xg3000]

You are awesome. Thanks for your videos.

[al91176]

Good video, I ordered one like this yesterday. I'm kinda disappointed with the whole lcd angle thing. I guess I'll check it out in person and see if its something I can tolerate or if its going back to Tiger Direct. Thanks for the review though.

[michael1980123]

nice video...next time you try to show the quality of any screen you might want to take the plastic screen protector :)

[Trubyd44]

@michael1980123 Good point...I can't believe noone else has told me that, I didn't think you were correct when I read your post, but indeed it is still on there. HAHA.

[michael1980123]

@Trubyd44

lol they are easy to miss

[ixy1987]

the only thing i hate about this controller is the multi-colored rainbow colourd LCD screen...i prefer 1 color-blue, to go wiv the rest of my case...like NZXT sentry fan controller

/watch?v=hBN47fUTy4M&feature=r­elated

[georgewoods49]

ive got this controler and i wish i didnt iff your using it in a bright lighted area forget it the screen fades with the coloures as iff the colours just fade duller i thought it was my psu so i tryd it with another and its still the same so i put my nxzt older model in and ran 2 off them to see iff the readings wer the same ! GUESS WHAT they wer both different the onlder model was nearer to exact temps and fanspeed as the newer 1 was way off

[MovadoDaSaint]

does this have an 'auto' mode to automatically control the fans????

[0pTicaL823]

Aerocool controller sucks, Lamptron FC-5 ftw!

[Trubyd44]

@0pTicaL823 I didn't necessarily like this controller either.

[Trubyd44]

@0pTicaL823 Although I've bought Lamptron fan controllers in the past, but they are not machined perfectly...there was one I had to send back because it wouldn't fit in my 5.25 bay! The FC-5 does look nice though.

[MultiIPwnage]

I like lights girl, you should review her.

[SrbProGamer]

nice

[ykrahs666]

omg...PEEL THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SHEET OFF THE FRONT!!!..lol..i was yellin at my computer screen

[Trubyd44]

@ykrahs666 Why? It doesn't matter for the viewing angle...and it doesn't matter for the operation, I didn't want to get my grubby fingerprints on someone else's controller. :)

[evilwarcow]

@ykrahs666 I was just cringing LMAO

[coolermaster]

nice review..your are right I havent seen any REAL reviews like yours for this fan controller. I THINK im getting this over the NZXT sentry LX... any inputs?thanks

[Trubyd44]

@coolermaster I like this better then the NZXT Sentry for sure, but please be aware the viewing angle on this sucks. In fact, certain angles almost look like the display isn't even turned on!?! It operates nice though, but I don't like the beeps. I guess there is good and bad with everything.

[coolermaster]

@Trubyd44

damn I just saw your build on the corsair 800d (mouthwatering). anyways, now Im confused which fancontroller to get lolz

[Trubyd44]

@coolermaster Yeah, stuff like that is very personal to people. One item can be awesome to one person while to another it isn't liked at all. The good thing is that the fan controllers aren't that expensive and most can be returned if you don't like them. I would go with the Sentry first...test it, then go with the Aerocool if you don't like the Sentry.

[Trubyd44]

@busstour No it's not. I have taken the protector off and it still is a crap screen if you look up at it. If you look down at it, the screen is awesome.

[MrSleepless87]

what annoys me is that you get a lot of cables when you split those temp sensors something which doesn't help cable management and also that beeping all the time. Great review your points are very right for a first look!

[Trubyd44]

@Ossus1994 Yep, but not too big...if it was smaller, it wouldn't be as easy to see.

[VolcomTomatoe]

Can I have your old fan controller? :D

[Trubyd44]

@VolcomTomatoe The Aerocool is not mine, it is a client's. :(

[cisco760ca]

Theres 3 things i like in life . GIRLS ,CARS and COMPUTERS and this has a car speedometer feel to it . I think it will go great with my computer . Thanks for the great review .

[Trubyd44]

@cisco760ca I'm glad my review helped! There was no good review on the device on YouTube.

[jasonblake49]

Can you control the volume? The beeping is a little obnoxious for my tastes.

[Trubyd44]

@jasonblake49 Nope, not that I can tell. :(

[MakaveliG17C]

lol great review and it sounded like you said im doing a unbotting at the starting of the video

keep the vids comin

[Trubyd44]

@MakaveliG17C HEHE. Thx!

[Oreomeister]

About the fan taking a while to slow down, think of this. With good fans with good bearings, they take a long time to slow down when they power down. The controller probably sets the proper voltage/whatever for 800 rpm or whatever you set it to, but it takes a while for the fan to actually reach that speed, and the reading on the controller is telling you its current rpms.

Could be wrong though.

[Trubyd44]

@Oreomeister These comments are why I love YouTube. You could be exactly right!?! I never thought about that in the least. Great fan then. :D

[vierme666]

For me the BEEPing when you touch the screen disturbs me more than the angle from down ...

[Trubyd44]

@vierme666 Nah, because I don't adjust my fans a lot...but I do look at the display a lot. hehe.

[fixnorm]

i have the same xD

[SeanBondWBB]

your reviews are the best man

[Trubyd44]

@SeanBondWBB THANKS!

[xAntiEmo4LyfeX]

I agree with you on the angle issue. Great view; I'm enjoying your videos very much.

[saguerraty]

@trubyd44 if i had a mountain mods case (i wish) and one of the panels was a tiple quad (12 120mm fans ) and i had one of the mountain mods power station where all the fans were pluged where do i plug the power station to contol the fans?? and if i had could cathods pluged to the molex conector of the station if i incresed the fan speed would it increse the light intensity ?? i dont bother to control the fans independently a general speed control would be perfect

[sonofkikkoman]

man that swedish dude is so lucky

[Ksquaredgaming]

any way to get rid of the beeps?

[kamikazerus]

weird that it takes about 20 secs just to slow down the fan

[vearheart42]

Kinda dim isn't it?

[HongKongGhost]

informative thanks.

[irek9009]

Very nice video keep up good work

UR PC IS THE BEAST!!
