Fan Speed Controller Akasa AK-FC-08BKV2 Black 6 Channels

The Akasa AK-FC-08BKV2 Black 6 Channels fan speed controller is a compact device for managing up to six 3- or 4-pin fans in a PC cooling system. The unit features a brushed aluminium front panel, rotary knobs for individual fan adjustment and operates with an input voltage range of 5–12V while providing a 12V output, offering compatibility with a wide range of case and CPU fans. Its dimensions (148.5 × 88 × 41.5 mm) make it suitable for installation in many desktop setups where manual fan control is required.

Advantages

The brushed aluminium panel provides a durable, tactile surface for the six rotary controls and integrates with black-coloured housings. Six independent channels allow fine-grained speed adjustment for each connected fan, improving targeted cooling and noise control. Compact dimensions enable installation in confined spaces without occupying excessive room behind the panel. Simple rotary controls require no software and offer immediate, physical control over fan speeds.

Suitable for

• Custom desktop PC builds that require manual fan control
• Systems with multiple case or radiator fans (up to six)
• Users who prefer hardware-based fan speed adjustment without software

How to use

Install the controller in an appropriate bay or mounting location inside the PC case, connect each fan to a separate channel using the provided fan connectors, and supply power within the stated 5–12V input range. Adjust each fan's speed by turning the corresponding rotary knob: clockwise to increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease. Verify that cables are routed safely to avoid interference with moving parts and that the controller is secured to prevent movement during system operation.

Recommendations

For balanced cooling and noise levels, set fan speeds according to component temperature and airflow needs; use higher speeds for radiators or areas with concentrated heat and lower speeds for intake/exhaust fans in less stressed zones. Do not exceed the specified input voltage range and check connector compatibility before powering the system.
