Stock fans do their job, but most enthusiasts out there will toss those stock fans and replace them with higher airflow ones or quieter ones depending on the need. The one problem though is that the majority of fans out there today don't come with any type of fan controller, sure you could get PWM fans or you could control them through a software program but that's not always the best way to do it. Some of us out there like to have full control over our fans, allowing us to turn them to full speed when we feel the need to or even slow them down to quiet our systems.

Scythe is a very well known manufacturer of cooling products and lately they've ventured more into accessories as well, we've reviewed some of their fans before. Today I've got the new Kaze Master 3.5” Multi-Channel Bay Fan Controller for review, but it does more than control fans it includes temperature probes to help you monitor temperatures of things in your case. The Kaze Master features a VFD display that shows the fan speeds and temperatures of two fans and two probes, it has two knobs as well to adjust the fans speed and even a shut-off function as well. The Kaze Master is very well made as is can be expected of a product from Scythe, and can be a valuable and informative addition to anyones system.
