Performance

     Overall the Vantec performed admirably during our tests which consisted of testing anything from a 40mm chipset fan to a 84 CFM 80mm Tornado. The NXP-301 has no problems handling big fans and even took some double fan arrangements using "y" connectors with no problems. The only thing found questionable was the sound activated CC module. During testing the CC's were stuck in sound activated mode. After reviewing the instruction manual I noticed that the NXP-301 has to be restarted at first in order to run in non-activated mode. After a quick restart it worked just fine. As far as esthetics the NXP-301 is a welcome addition to any case modder looking for full-control of their fans and lights. ClubOC recommends this product solely on innovation and overall quality.
