[diluzio91]

Corsair released this cooling control kit, its pretty awesome. Seems like an awesome toy!

That does look promising. Any idea on how soon is soon?

Yeah, we saw this in action at CES, very cool stuff!

[diluzio91]

I didnt try, but it looks like you can order it now.

This was originally introduced by CoolIT as the Maestro in 2010.

It doesn't appear on Coolit's website anymore so it looks like teamed up with Corsair to market it under their name.

If you're fans are always on, why control them? I've never understood the need to use fan controllers

noise. slower fans make less noise. if you're not running CPU or GPU-intensive things, there's no need for max cooling all the time

I really like this idea. A bit on the pricy side but makes things real easy for those of us who still want custom PCs but don't have the time to learn electronics & programming. If I build a new case (which I'm thinking of) this may find it's way into it.

I really wanted to get the Maestro and was pretty mad at CoolIt when they sold it off to Corsair. I have the CoolIt Vantage which was supposed to be compatible and controllable from the Maestro. Also, it was only going to be $100, where the link is $130. I feel like we here at TBCS could develop something like the Maestro or Corsair Link and make an order of a hundred or so and do it for cheaper.

So, I was talking with Override about the Corsair Link possibly being compatible with the Vantage ALC. I thought that I had been told that it wasn't already, but I asked some people at CoolIt about it and they confirmed that the Corsair Link is NOT compatible with the Vantage ALC.

On a side note, CoolIt really seems to be jerks to their fans and customers. They've seemed so condescending when I talk to them. I'm almost to the point where I would never buy a product from them again on the basis of principle alone. They're really going to have to change their tune before I even consider them in the future.

Well that's a shame. When I spoke with them they made it seem like the "LINK" system was a protocol that would be compatible between the companies. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

In a day and age where companies have similarly based products, and there is not a way to control the competition AT LEAST they can leverage what they do control... which is Customer service. I don't know how many times I have gone out of my way and spent maybe a few bucks more with a store that treats me like I matter, rather then just picking some random store off the internet.

Vote with your dollars folks.. maybe some of these companies will get the picture.

I have noticed this as well on their forums when I was looking up an alarm code.
