Practical and well-made
Useful for motherboards with few fan connectors.
Good workmanship, connectors a bit loose at the case exit to the 3 fans.

3-channel PWM controller
Overview
Noctua
Check your fans!
The NA-FC1 is a compact, highly flexible PWM controller for 4-pin fans. It can operate independently for manual speed control or in tandem with the automatic fan control provided by the motherboard. By varying the speed via the potentiometer on the NA-FC1, users can either set a PWM duty cycle from 0% to 100% or - in order to slow down the fan beyond what the PC's automatic motherboard control allows - reduce the one generated by the motherboard. While the brightness of the orange LED provides visual information on the current setting, the push button allows the Na-FC1 to switch to "No Stop" mode, which prevents the fan from falling below 300 rpm. Finally, thanks to the multi-output cable (x3) and the power adapter, it is possible to drive up to 3 fans simultaneously.
Main features :
- 4-pin connection
- Voltage: 5-12 V
- Colour: black
- Dimensions: 21 x 25 x 48 mm / 15g

Simple and efficient (but only for PWM fans)
I had a case with 2 fans installed on the front, and one on the back. I had also added 3 more fans on top. In the end, the number of sockets on the motherboard was a bit tight. The little hub that came with the case was not very satisfactory either.
So I had taken 2 NA-FC1 to regulate all this, more easily, and with less necessary plugs.
Bad surprise, it didn't regulate anything at all for the fans delivered with the case. But after analysis, mea culpa: the product is sold as a 4-pin fan controller (PWM), and the ones in my case were only 3-pin.
So I bought 3 4-pin fans to replace the ones in my case, and when I connected them to the NA-FC1, another detail bothered me: the cable that runs from the NA-FC1 and splits into 3 to control the 3 fans, had only 1 plug with 4 pins, and the other 2 with only 2 pins. That said, everything worked normally. And after thinking about it, this is certainly normal: the one and only 4-pin socket should be used to indicate to the motherboard the speed of the fan connected to this socket.
So anyway, after my setbacks, which are not the fault of the product, everything works perfectly.
Personally, I chose to connect the 2 Noctua controllers to the power supply, but not to the sockets on the motherboard. This way, I am sure that the fans will never change speed, and therefore will not make more noise (solution validated by CPU and GPU benchmarks).
In summary: I highly recommend this NA-FC1 controller (as long as you only have PWM fans to connect to it). The 3 fans can be powered by a simple Sata socket of the power supply (recommended), and you have the choice to put the NA-FC1 as the only speed controller, or in addition to the motherboard socket (in which case it acts as a speed reducer sent by the motherboard).Review automatically translated -
