One of Sunbeam’s latest products in fan controllers is the Theta software controlled fan controller. The Theta package comes with the Theta card unit, manual, driver disk, & temperature sensors. The card is fashioned out of a piece of black PCB and installs in an open PCI slot on your motherboard. The rear of the card is painted a matte black and has the USB connector along with a green status LED. The kit also comes with some precut tape for connecting the thermal leads onto your components. Special thanks to the guys at Sunbeam sending the Theta to us to review. But, before we get going, let’s look at some of the specs and features of the Theta
