IT systems importer and distributor, Corex, has announced the SA launch of Thermaltake Technology's Hardcano12SE intelligent fan controller.

Says Corex product manager, David Dos Santos: Todays PCs are powerful and robust, but performance can be hampered when too much heat is generated. Thermaltakes Intelligent Fan Controller is designed to push more air into the computer and to dissipate heat more effectively than other fans.

Clusters of high speed fans inside a chassis can result in increased noise, but the Hardcano12SE addresses with by focusing on components that are generating the most noise. It has four channels of fan speed control that aim to enable users to manually adjust each fan unit individually, or switch it to auto mode that allows the module to adjust fan speed automatically according to temperature status. With the cold air actively inducted into the system, the computer will be running quietly at a lower temperature, the company says.

Says Dos Santos: At the touch of a button, Hardcano12SE can deliver fan speed, temperature and alarm status for each of four locations in real time.  Traditional VR knobs have been replaced with more reliable precision electronic buttons. The whole module is the size of a regular 5,25 drive with stylish design to give any computer a high-tech appeal.
