Key notes
Building a gaming PC is always exciting, especially when you add multiple RGB lights.
While the use of RGB lighting is a debatable topic, it is important that you have plenty of case fans to keep your PC cool all the time.
That said, adding multiple fans can become problematic if the motherboard does not have enough connectors to accommodate all the fans. This is where the fanspeedcontrollers come in handy.
In this article, we have listed the best fanspeedcontrollers to keep your PC cool while providing greater control over the case fans.
What are the best fan speed controllers to get?
GIM KB-23 RGB

Even more, the fans are designed with 3 different music modes and each music mode has its own lighting mode, which creates some visual and audio effects that enhance your gaming experience.
When it comes to the included RF wireless remote, keep in mind that it is perfect to adjust fan speed (S/M/H)/lighting effects/brightness/LED speed without even opening the case.
Noctua NA-FC1
Another great controller on this list is Noctua NA-FC. That’s a compact and highly flexible controller for 4-pin PWM fans.
The device works as a manual speed reducer or in tandem with the automatic motherboard fan control.
The built-in No stop mode prevents the fans from falling below the speed of 300rpm, which is crucial to avoidBIOSerrors.
Even more, the Noctua NA-FC1 controller also includes a 3-way splitter cable for controlling up to 3 fans.

As for the three fan channels with max 10W per channel output and built-in noise detection module, they are also top-notch.
Even better, feel free to look for NZXT RGB LED accessories within each channel, including NZXT Underglow, LED strips in various lengths, and Aer RGB fans while syncing all lighting accessories across different channels.
