Conclusion

It is not often that a component manufacturer from Taiwan or China holds ROHS and CE certifications. When we do see this, it is reassuring to those of us in the west that the product its not just another cheap Chinese copy. It is great to see that the Reeven ‘Six-Eyes’ product has this and more, which is a sign of attention to detail and protection for the consumer. The product certainly has some unique looks that remind us of a science fiction films, namely ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ and ‘Star-Wars’. It has some rather unique features, such as the ability to monitor and gather information from all six channels without depressing multiple buttons. In addition, we also appreciate the ability to push in the dials in order to promote a smooth and clean finish.

There are one or two items for concern. Namely, the material used in construction of the chassis as Reeven has used an all Polymer based material instead of metal for the unit’s chassis. The use of Polymer is not unique and AeroCool does the same; so it won’t convert the die-hard Lamptron owners, who are proud of their products for using the original metal. Also, to make the product more attractive to case modification enthusiasts, it would have been prudent to sleeve the fan extension and power cables.

Lastly, we add in the price and at 49 Euros (around £46) this would indeed bash up against the Lamptron FC Touch Prices. However, if more distributors are found in the west, we have been informed that this may drop  by as much as 8-10 pounds Sterling, making this a much more attractive offer.

Pros:

• Originality
• Proven to operate fine at 1A per channel
• Can attach water cooling pumps-albeit only up to 10 watts!
• Science Fiction Looks
• Dials can be pushed in to create a clean look
