AC Infinity CONTROLLER 2, Fan Thermostat and Speed Controller, for Home Theater AV Media Cabinet Cooling

almost great but one of the buttons for switching off the display has gone bad in a year

Works perfect!

This is a very precise thermostat that adds to the complete set of blower options offered by AC Infinity. Very high quality built offered at a reasonable price. If you have a closed component rack, I highly recommend this brand of fan blowers for all your needs. I purchased their component style fans as well as some top or side mounted fans, all of which perform flawlesly. Noise levels are all dependent on the speed you use. I for one use them all at low speed and since they're thermostat controled, they will run a little more often but keep the noise to a level that won't protrude through the cabinet and into the room (during low level music passages for instance) If you found my review useful, please select yes below.

It does well to control the 6 fans I have running to cool my Xbox series x inside a small cabinet. I have 4 fans pushing air in the bottom of the cabinet and 2 fans running at the top. This keeps that cabinet under positive pressure and allows me to filter the intake so little to no dust enters the cabinet with my xbox. I also run the modem for my internet in this cabinet and the exhaust cools my router. I have smart settings adjusted so the fans kick on at 95 degrees F, and they run full blast at 105. This means the fans aren't on unless I have my Xbox running, and they don't ramp up until I am running a game that pushes the Xbox. For instance the fans never leave their lowest setting while I play my old school favorites, such as the original FFVII, and they begin pushing full capacity for new gen games. The temperature probe seems to be doing a great job hovering over the xbox's exhaust, and sends the right signals to allow my xbox to run full tilt, where I witness far less thermal throttling when pushing the xbox at peak settings. Placing the xbox in the cabinet with 4 fans below and 2 above has proven to be a significant upgrade to the xbox as it performs better than ever, and this controller is the heart of the whole system. Everything was simple to understand and this is a plug and play unit. As a bonus, the digital read out on top of my cabinet, serves to demonstrate I take my electronics, their functionality, and longevity seriously. I couldn't be happier with a basic order and a simple install that's made my xbox not only cool better, but allowed me to condition the air at the same time.

I use this to control 4 fans that keep the temperature down in a sideboard that houses my AV equipment. The sideboard is a mid-century G Plan thing that looks great but isn’t really suited to having a load of heat-producing boxes inside. I’d cut a sizeable hole in the back already but with the AV amp and an XBox running it soon got toasty in there. So I added a couple of 80mm fans... which helped, by it still got a little too hot. Next I added a couple of 120mm fans and this little controller. One of the bigger fans was cut into the rear of the sideboard and the other sits inside. Now the temperature perfectly controlled - the fans fire up when needed and the temp soon drops. The 120mm fans aren’t AC Infinity branded but work fine. The smaller fans are AC Infinity ones and noticeably better quality. Overall I’m very pleased with this - and the fans. A great bit of kit and a decent price. Top work!

Excellent, running 6 small fans inside PC unit using this control. PC running most of the day for work and gaming.
