**Unboxing and Overview of Lon's fc5 V2 Fan Controller**

Upon opening the package containing the Lon's fc5 V2 fan controller, we are presented with a compact device that appears to be designed for efficient temperature monitoring and control. The device itself is relatively small, making it easy to fit into most enclosures or cases.

As we examine the device more closely, we notice several key components and features. Next to the main unit is the voltage meter, which is extremely useful in monitoring the power supply's output. The alarm feature is also prominently displayed, indicating that this fan controller is designed for safety and reliability. This feature will sound an alert if any of the temperature leads exceed a certain temperature threshold, preventing damage to the system.

The 8-pin connector on top of the device is labeled with numbers (JS1-4) and is where the temperature leads are connected. These connectors can be plugged into each corresponding pin to monitor the temperatures of different components in the system. The mounting points for the fan controller are also shown, indicating that this device can be easily installed in various enclosures or cases.

To demonstrate the capabilities of the Lon's fc5 V2 fan controller, I decide to power it up and connect a fan to test its functionality. The fan controller is connected to a Fractal Design Newton R3 600W modular power supply via a jumper, allowing me to easily switch between different operating modes. In voltage mode, the device displays both the current voltage reading and RPM of the connected fans.

I then proceed to control the speed of the fan by adjusting the dial on the controller. The display shows that the voltage is increasing as the fan speed increases, demonstrating the effectiveness of this feature. I also connect a second fan to the fourth channel, which is used to adjust the brightness of an LED strip. This showcases the versatility of this fan controller and its ability to control various components in the system.

To further demonstrate the features of the Lon's fc5 V2 fan controller, I decide to test it in temperature mode by plugging in two temperature leads and removing a mini-jumper. The display shows the current temperature reading for each lead, providing a clear indication of the system's temperature status. In this configuration, the device is able to accurately read temperatures without displaying voltage readings.

Finally, I take some time to explore the different colors that this LCD screen can display. By adjusting the settings on the controller, I am able to change the color scheme and display various hues, adding a touch of visual appeal to the system.

In conclusion, the Lon's fc5 V2 fan controller is an impressive device that offers a range of features for efficient temperature monitoring and control. Its compact design, versatility, and accuracy make it an ideal solution for those looking to enhance their system's performance.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhow's it going guys Kyle here with awesome sauce news today I'll be taking a look at lon's fc5 V2 fan controller now as you can see from in the front of the Box does have four separate channels uh they are dial knobs and it does feature an LCD screen at the front and you can see that screen actually comes in seven different colors so this is a pretty fancy controller it's definitely uh not skimpy by any means and you can see down here there are 30 watts of delivery per channel so even if you have two fans that are you know maybe take uh 12 watts each you could actually hook two of those up to one of these channels and it would work perfectly fine so uh there not much else on the box oh yeah it does come into flavors you've got a silver kind of a silver metallic look right there and then you've got an anodized black or yeah I think that's right uh but uh the one I'm taking a look at today is the black one so why I pop this guy open and first thing is the user's manual uh I won't get too much into that I am the manual guys you don't need that thing uh here are some temperature leads so you can actually hook up up to four temperature leads one per channel uh and you would place these yellow ends at various places in your case and you connect the other two uh the other end which is these are these two pin connectors uh to your fan controller and from there you can actually monitor the temperatures of various spaces within your chassis uh they've also included uh some fan extension cables so you can see they are nicely sleeved uh black sleeved cables very nice touch it's got some heat shrink on the ends there uh and there you can see you've got some three pin extension connectors right there very nice and you've got a Molex power connector of course uh your Molex is going to be what's powering this entire controller and thus what is powering all the fans or other peripherals that are connected to it and finally oh almost forgot these you've got some mounting screws uh by the way guys this fan controller does fit in one of your 5 and a/4 inch Bay only takes up a single Bay and if this thing will focus ah they're screws pretty sure most of you know what screws look like and then here we've got a little jumper little tiny mini jumper and I'm going to show you what that is in just a second uh but here's the main events this is the fan controller itself forgive the train horn passing by uh but here it is got a lamptron fc5 little logo up there and it's got a nice brushed aluminum design at the front it actually looks very Sleek it this does not look cheap at all all looks very high-end uh it'll look really nice in uh certain cases it I'm you know I'm going to tell you right now this isn't going to look great in any case out there uh you're going to want one with a very Sleek maybe a more modern uh minimalistic design this this thing would pop right in there but you know it's all preference people who am I a judge uh but oh also forgot to say there's the LCD LCD screen obviously let me take this little guy off that looks much better doesn't it very nice all right so the real stuff is happening back here um first off you got your Molex power connector your four pin that's 12vt and then you can up top it's kind of confusing with the PCB up here there's so many little wires and stuff but you can see you've got four one two oop three and four three pin fan connectors right there one per Channel and uh pretty pretty self-explanatory you plug in your fans right there and uh down here is where it gets interesting so you can see there there are four pins kind of hard to see because they have these mini jumpers on them let me take the jumpers off oh I just took off all three at once skills uh but there you go you've got six pins and just beneath them are labeled b g and R or more commonly known as the acronym RGB and uh yes those do stand for blue green and red so that's essentially how you control or change the color of your LCD output is with these little jumpers little plastic jumpers that uh I showed you that I just took off so essentially if you wanted blue you would put a jumper on the two pins that are labeled blue or B if you want green you put it on the G you want R put it on the r but get this if you want purple you put one jumper on the B and then one jumper on the r just like that and just likewise you can do yellow with the G and R is that right yeah I mean see this is this all goes back to those uh Barney days when they would say when you mix blue and red you get purple you know you're like I'm never going to use that information but bam here it is so pay attention to your Barney kits um so there basically you have it there are seven colors I'm going to show those to you in just a second so I'm not going to go through all the different combinations just yet uh but over here are more leads you can see it says select right you got four pins now two jumpers one on each and you've got C and F just above those so the C is for Celsius F is for Fahrenheit basically it's the uh temperature readout there will be a temperature read out of uh your temp leads right and so you can either have them display in either Celsius or Fahrenheit so if you wanted Celsius you just have Celsius on there just like that and if you wanted Fahrenheit you'd have the fahrenheit jumper on but get this guys if you have both jumpers on like I just did or if you remove both of them then essentially you switch to voltage mode so instead of your LCD reading out the the temperatures let's say you don't want any uh temperature leads in your computer or you just uh care about the temps in those areas it'll actually revert to voltage mode and from there you can actually see how much voltage you're putting out to each channel so as you turn the knob in theory uh you'll see the voltage meter go up that's very useful um but essentially next to that is the alarm come on Focus there we go there's the alarm so if you have a lead on there it'll basically enable your alarm so if any of your temperature leads ever goes above 70° C you'll hear a little beeping noise it'll be like hey it's it's getting hot in here and then you should probably tend to your computer in case it's on fire uh or if you don't want the alarm at all you simply just leave the jumper off and it will disable that alarm eight pins up here see that they're all labeled js1 2 3 and 4 that's where your temperature leads go so those two pin connectors I showed you on one end they would plug into each of those and uh that way you can monitor the temperatures of course so uh that's pretty much it um oh here are the uh mounting points in your 5 and/ quinch Bay uh so why don't I get this guy all situated I'm going to install it well I'm not going to install I'm just going to power it up maybe connect a fan or two to it and we can take a look at what this uh LCD screen looks like when it's turned on all right guys so I have the fan controller all hooked up now it's uh currently running off of a fractal uh Newton R3 600 W modular power supply uh I basically just had to jump it in order to get things started uh but here you can see I've got uh a fan connected right here and right now I'm in voltage mode so the voltage is being displayed on the lower row while the RPM for the fans are on the top row uh so right now I don't know if you can tell but if I crank this up you'll see the voltage start to go up and of course the RPM will go up as well if I do it I can't really tell it's actually connected to an this uh first channel is connected to an LED fan so of course it'll uh also control the LED just because they're both wired to the same connection but there you have it and then uh this channel is a little bit different though I actually took a uh three pin w y splitter so I actually have two fans connected to this they're two Corsair fans and uh if I crank it up you can definitely tell there's two fans cuz they're just super loud takes a little while but uh and also you can see that the RPM readout is an increments of 10 um but uh does seem to be fairly accurate oh man that feels really nice nice Cool Breeze and turn that down so I can hear myself think and uh no fan is connected to this one that's why there's zero RPM and zero voltage but on the fourth Channel we have a voltage here 4.8 volts but there's no RPM and you're wondering why why Kyle why is that well that's because I don't actually have it hooked up to a fan I have that fourth channel is connected to this uh bit Phoenix Alchemy LED strip and essentially I just wanted to demonstrate that you can also use this fan controller and many fan controllers for that matter uh to adjust your LED accents in your case so you can see here if I crank the dial up you can see the light and of course you can go full blast as bright as it can be oh uh so I thought this was kind of cool kind of neat to show off I just wanted to demonstrate that but there you guys have it um let's uh show you guys some of the different colors of the LCD screen as I promised um oh wait no I'm forgetting something I wanted to show you guys um like the the temperature temperature mode so I'm going to plug in some leads really quick and I'll be right back all right guys so I just plugged in two of the temperature leads and had to remove one of those mini jumpers if you remember had to remove one or the other uh in order to get from voltage mode to either Celsius or Fahrenheit mode and as you can see here we've got a readout in degrees celsius uh the voltage has gone away and uh there you have your temperatures for the two leads um leads are pretty much in the exact same spot right now they're underneath my desk seems pretty chilly down there um but uh with that said why don't we take a look at some of the cool uh colors that this LCD can display all right guys that is going to do it for this unboxing and overview once again this has been lon's fc5 V2 fan controller I'm Kyle with awesome sauce news and if you guys enjoyed this video be sure to like And subscribe to the channel if you haven't
