Recently bought 3 Phanteks M25 gen2, when I went to install them I discovered I needed this. Worse of all it can't be shipped to where I live and customer support doesn't answer me.
Order shipping 10 days still not delivered even with fast shipping! You should ADVERTISE NOTICABLE YOU PRODUCS REQUARED ADDITINAL PROPROETARY EQUPMET to install it on motherboard!
I was looking for an all in one box solution to manage my 11 Phanteks D30 fans, and was advised to get this. To be fair, I didn't do much research. However upon opening it I discovered multiple design issues. First of all, only 2 Nexlinq ports, but only 1 Nexlinq cable. Sure there's also 1 Legacy port, but what use is that, when you've so many Phanteks fans. There's no splitter, no way to daisy chain fans that are separated in any clean fashion, if at all. And, why does it require a 6pin pcie power connector?
By and large, Phanteks make great products... Honestly, I've been a fan of them for years, ever since I got the P600s case. And I really wanted the D30 fans, which are fantastic, even if the connection implementation isn't the best. But, if you want to build an ecosystem, how about thinking about how all this stuff should work together?
Only 2 link up points makes it hard to control fan speeds, I think when you add something to a motherboard, it should add features. It shouldn’t remove them. If you could hook the fans up directly to the motherboard, you would have better control, and that shouldn’t be the case. Certainly not at this price point.
