The best reobasses for computers in 2022

How often have you noticed that the computer starts to make a lot of noise during operation, and the working surface at this time heats up mercilessly? At the same time, the productivity of the equipment also decreases. PC slows down a lot and nothing helps to optimize its performance? So, it is worth checking the fan. In order to facilitate the operation of the fan and control the process itself, you can purchase a reobas (or it is also called a fan controller). The article provides a rating of the most reliable and popular controllers.

What it is?

Firstly, it is a set of resistors that controls the operation of the PC cooling system. Secondly, it controls them, informs about the rotation speed, and also displays other system indicators. Quite a necessary thing for active computer users.

What to look for when buying?

• The number of control channels is usually written on the box, but sometimes you can personally count the knobs on the front panel. It is important to understand one thing: the more channels, the more flexible the control system itself.
• Channel power - many do not know, but cooling systems absorb a huge amount of energy. Before buying, you should find out how much power the cooler requires. Then, according to these characteristics, already select the necessary model.
• Control method and functionality - there are mechanical and digital reobass.The first, quite simple, consists only of handles, with which the speed of rotation is regulated. As for the second type, here the functionality is, of course, tastier. In addition to the easy-to-use display, it controls the temperature inside the case, as well as directly the rotation speed itself.

And here is our rating of the best regulators.
