    Default Bitfenix Recon Internet Connected Fan Controller

    The Bitfenix Recon sports a cool looking illuminated easy on the eyes touchscreen interface, which displays current system temperatures and fan speeds for up to five fans, and also gives the user easy access to the Recon's advanced functionality. The BitFenix Recon sports two specially-designed microprocessors which constantly interact with your motherboard, providing you with real-time status monitoring and control of your fan speeds and system temps. Users can define, save, and recall up to three different presets, making adjustments to fan speeds and temps, while at home, at the office or even on the go. Read on to see what else The Recon from Bitfenix has to offer…….

    Great review Vinny. The Recon was a great addition to my system. The only thing I did not like was the USB cable. The cable plugs into the header and has an extension for the second port but it is female instead of male. Nice to bring out the unused port but would have been better with the correct plug. But the controller works great.

    Yes I noticed that as well, but it didn't hamper me in any way so I neglected to mention it in my review but I guess it could pose a problem on a board with limited USB connections.

    Hey Vinny, you know that mouse I'm having shipped to you for review, well you might be receiving two of them, so hold on to the 2nd one, and do not open the package,
    It's going to be one of the prizes for our Christmas giveaway, he's not sure if the 2nd mouse went out to you, or if it was shipped with a PSU that I have to review for them.

    When you have a chance, email me.
