Aerocool F6XT Fan Controller Review

Operation

The operation of the F6XT is as simple as it gets. There are seven buttons. There’s a button at the center of the front panel, where you change the LEDs status to red, blue or off. There is one button for each channel (under the number of the fan) that adjusts the fan speed to low, medium or high, which is shown by one, two, or three LEDs lit for the channel.

There is no way to completely turn off one fan. In addtion, the controller doesn’t “sense” the fan in any way; it doesn’t warn if the fan is disconnected or stops spinning.

Figure 7 shows the controller in use, with red LEDs selected and all fans at the high power.

Figure 8 illustrates how the panel looks with blue LEDs and channel 1 set to low power.
