Our take on the STW 5.25" 5 Channel Touchscreen Fan Controller Temperature Monitor

The STW-5036 is a 5.25-inch bay fan controller with a 5-inch touchscreen that shows fan speeds and up to five temperature probes. It drives five fan channels at 5V–12V with 10W per channel and accepts both 3-pin and 4-pin fans. It suits older cases with a free optical drive bay; many modern cases have none, so check your chassis before buying.

Pros
  • Five independent fan channels with per-channel 10W output
  • Wide 5V–12V range for quiet idle and full-speed load
  • Works with both 3-pin and 4-pin fans
  • Five temperature probes included for per-zone readings
  • Touchscreen control without motherboard software
Cons
  • Needs a 5.25-inch drive bay, which most new cases lack
  • No PWM control: voltage regulation only, so 4-pin fans run as 3-pin
  • 10W per channel limits high-power or daisy-chained fans
  • No software or motherboard sync; settings live on the unit

Questions and answers

Is it worth it over motherboard fan control?
Only if your board has too few headers or weak BIOS fan curves. Motherboard PWM control is smoother and free; this adds a bay screen and five probes.
Will it work with my 4-pin PWM fans?
Yes, but they run in voltage mode, not PWM. Speed control still works; some fans may hum or stall at very low voltage.
How many fans and sensors can it handle?
Five fans at up to 10W each and five temperature probes. Total load should stay within what your PSU's 4-pin Molex line can supply.
Does it fit my case?
Only if you have an empty 5.25-inch front bay. Measure the bay depth and check clearance behind the front panel for the 23cm power cable.
What is in the box?
The controller, five 62.5cm fan cables, five 62cm temperature probes and a 23cm power cable. Fans and screws are not included.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on this class of controller move little; watch for listings that include the probes and cables, since those add cost separately.
