SilverStone Eudemon Fan Controller

[MediaMan]

The SilverStone Technology Eudemon SST-FP52 is a "set it and forget it" device to monitor and control cooling fans within the PC. The SST-FP52 Eudemon monitors and controls up to 3 independent fan sources, displays temperature, hard drive activity, system power, time and date.

In the review you stated: "The battery backup is an odd feature. The Eudemon draws power from the PC power supply. If the PC power supply fails then the PC shuts down. Cooling is no longer the main concern. The odds are astronomically against only the 12 volt lead that powers the Eudemon failing. If it does then the fans would shut down and bigger problems would arise very quickly."

You completely missed the purpose of the battery. It is there to keep the clock running when the PC is turned off...without the battery you'd have to set the time and date every time you powered on.

Good comment. :) Sometimes I can't see the forest through the trees.

Fine Tuning Features - 7.5
"Only the programmable temperature alarm can be considered a "fine tuning feature". Programmable min/max temperatures would have been extremely useful."

I think 7.5points is overrated. Setting up these levers is about 2 points worth but nothing more
