reports Scythe has a new fan controller with a funky display. Named the Kaze Chrono, this 5.25" fan controller is characterized by a large LCD screen with a brick-like matrix. The screen shows the fan speed or temperature of the different channels, but can also act as a clock. It's unclear how many channels the controller has. The Kaze Chrono will start shipping in July, with pricing expected to be around $40.
As a controller, it draws power from a 4-pin Berg connector, giving out four 3-pin fan headers. Speed is controlled by selecting a channel, and holding down the + or - buttons. Its mode can be switched between fan control, temperature monitoring, clock, and display-off. The controller can detect a stopped or failing fan, and flash an alarm. Measuring 148.5 x 83 x 42 mm, it weighs about 165 g.
