Gelid SpeedTouch 6 Fan Controller Review

Performance


Setting up the Gelid Speed Touch 6 was pretty simple and testing it was even easier. The function on the Gelid SpeedTouch 6 is as straight forward as you would expect; the front panel features a touch screen interface with static buttons already laid out. On the left you have the master power button to disable the device, lock to prevent your settings being changed and a back-light setting for choosing between three levels of brightness. The A and the M buttons are for auto and manual fan control mode, the Auto works pretty well, but it’s set to run at 6.5v at 25c and 12v at 50c, which is pretty high for those running water cooling; manual is certainly the better option in my opinion.

The readout is easily enough to understand, if you select a fan on the right you can dial the speed up and down using the +/- buttons, you can then monitor the RPM of the fan on the display, as well as the temperature for the fan probes. It really couldn’t be simpler than that; if you see your temperatures are a little high, dial up the RPM and get things back where you want them. If you want to silence your system when watching a movie or working in a low power state that doesn’t require half a dozen fans running at 12v, then turn them right down and enjoy the blissful silence.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
