“The gaining of full control over an ability or power you already have” , you may have lots of powerful fan in your rig but you do not have control and time and again you become annoyed with the “whooshing” noise .
Behold i present you the Bitfenix Recon Fan Controller . this will help you to gain control over those powerful fan you have! Muahahahahahaha .
Bitfenix Recon Review Unboxing
if you prefer a video unboxing please take a look here :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v4ilseOi8w
The Bifenix Recon come in a compact packaging .
Lots of info about the Recon on the box .
The Recon support up to 5 fan to be controlled
This is pretty much what’s inside of the box .
Build quality seems quite flimsy , i suggest to handle with care on the inside part .
The cable are long enough for a standard full tower casing , so you do not have to worry about the cables being too short .
Test Setup
My casing was NZXT H440 so there is no front panel to mount this Recon so i place the recon inside my casing
Now the problem is when i close my NZXT H440 sidepanel i do not have access to the Recon , and this is where the main feature of Bitfenix Recon come in handy , i can control my fan using the software here :- https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/accessories/recon#support
so if you do not have a front bay in your casing just use your creativity to mount the Recon inside and control it via software .
To be able to control the Bitfenix Recon via software or mobile device you must have LAN or INTERNET connection , it will very awesome if the Recon can be controlled via Bluetooth instead of using LAN or internet connection .
Here we also have some of Bitfenix Specter fan for unboxing check out the video here
