Product Description & Info
The miniNG is the first fan controller with patented Dual Mode Technology
(DMT) which combines analogue Silence with strong PWM power. You can choose
per channel, if you want to drive analogue or not. You can also switch with
software or with jumper while system is running.
The miniNG with its huge heatsink can power up to 20W per channel with
analogue voltage and 50W per channel with PWM. You can configure temperature
limits and speed curves with jumpers or with the T-Balancer and its software.
The miniNG is also the first controller, which works with the
Laing DDC-12V.
Configuration is very easy: in stand-alone mode only with jumper and
pot(entiometer) or with software via the T-Balancer. You can choose from many
profiles like curve, step, target temperature, manual or you can just make your
own profile with the T-Balancer and store it on the miniNG.
Small - but full of details and features:
- separate control of 2 fan channels
- 50W per channel with PWM, combined 100W
- 20W per channel with analogue, combined 25W
- 2 analogue sensors
- kick-start for water pumps
- configuration with jumpers and potentiometers
- free configuration with T-Balancer and its software
- integrated overheat protection in analogue operation
The heart of the miniNG is a powerful microprocessor with integrated
permanent memory. The processor enables a lot of configuration possibilities and
the connection to the T-Balancer. All configurations are saved to the memory.
The miniNG works completely independent and can also be operated without the
T-Balancer. But if you own a T-Balancer you can make all configurations with
Software and you can create new profiles and save them to the miniNG.
Package contents:
2
very thin analogue temperature sensors, jumpers, sensor cable for connecting to
T-Balancer and mounting material.

Reviews
"What do you get when you put a bunch
of talented Austrians into a small room with a bunch of fans, a few
silicon chips and a soldering iron? The world smallest and most advanced
fan controller, their miniNG is basically a brain for your fans."
"We have to admit that this fan
controller really surprised. The idea of using a microcontroller to
enable not only fanregulation but also monitoring works really well. It
gives a possibility to run the fans at a much reduced speed without the
risk of them stopping. Unfortunately we haven’t had a chance to test it
with a T-balancer and all settings has therefore been through hardware.
We expect that tuning through software makes it a lot easier to get it
exactly the way it is wanted.
Another thing which really sets this controller apart is the high
output. 100 W is more than enough to control a water pump. So if you
have a 12V pump which doesn’t need a full 12V this controller would be a
great addition. Unfortunately we haven’t had the chance to test with a
pump and therefore cannot say anything about this combination"
The miniNG is a great little product
that offers a lot of features in a tiny package, not only is it
powerful, but it gives the user the ability to fully configure their
cooling solutions.
The controller can also be used to control water pumps as well, the
miniNG can 'kick start' pumps that will not start at lower voltages.
Having the ability to raise and lower your pump flow according to
temperatures is something really cool indeed.
For someone that is into do it yourself systems then this is a great
product, it is nice and small and can be hidden many places in your
computer. I think water cooling enthusiasts will really like this
product, I will be trying it with one of my pumps, I have a Laing
DDC-12v, that does not like to start all the time when I turn the
computer on, I believe the miniNG will solve this problem by throwing
some more volts at it during startup. ThinkComputers give the mCubed
miniNG fan controller a 9 out of 10 score, and our Recommended Award. |
