Neoseeker posted a review on the BitFenix Hydra Pro Fan/LED Controller
A few months ago I had the pleasure of reviewing Bitfenix's Recon. Today I will be taking a look at another one of their fan/LED controllers, the Hydra which has a total of 5 fan channels with a rating of 30 watts per channel, as well as 5 fan LED connectors. Instead of using a touchscreen as seen on the Recon, BitFenix utilized sliders for the actual fan control. Not as stylish, but touchscreens can become temperamental and may even burn out after a short period of time.
Fan controllers traditionally have been used by enthusiasts wanting more control over the cooling aspect of their systems. However, there seems to be an increasing number of mainstream users turning to fan controllers as they offer a higher degree of temperature control over the BIOS itself and are a little easier to configure than software solutions such as Speedfan.
