Scythe Kaze Master Pro KM03-BK Fan Controller Review

Modding/Small Mods by stefan @ 2010-05-12

The latest fan 5.25 inch fan controller from Scythe is named Kaze Master Pro and has 6 separate channels. The screen can display information about 2 channels at once, but we have switches to go through and see data about all the available channels. It also features alarms, Celsius/Fahrenheit switch and a nice looking VFD screen.

    The fan controller does have a protective plastic on top of the frontal screen, to avoid damages during transport and a lot of black knobs:

    The knobs that are on the bottom of the screen are used to control each channel and the lateral ones are used to switch what we do see on the display; with the left 1-2-3 knob, we can see on display information regarding the fan RPMs and temperatures for the first, second and third channel:
