Well, there's this thing:

The Dakota Digital PAC-2000 would also seem to fill your requirements. After some research I choose it for one of my cars and haven't been disappointed:

I'm sure there are others. I'd also recommend the Spal but it doesn't have a display. Easy to add one though. I could also tell you how to make fan speed closed loop PWM (like the Spal but better) but you'd need to be handy with electronics...

My Flex-a-lite controller terminals get so hot they unsolder themselves from the circuit board.

After much searching, I can't find a quality controller that can run my dual fans at around 60% speed low setting, and 100% at high setting. Is there a reliable controller out there that can do this? The Dakota one is either on or off, and the SPAL controller will not do this with dual fans, only one fan or both. And the Be Cool module is single fan only.

I'm betting that when it gets cooler in autumn, that my fans at 60% would be just fine and reduce the massive current these things draw.

why have the fans at 60%? only reason i ask is that my temps stay at the exact same place when driving around town all day long. even in this heat wave i havent used my fan once so far...

and for a dual fan setup, i would rather have one hooked up to a in-cabin switch (for when you are autocrossin and racing) and then the other fan hooked up with this.

i see no point to have this fancy ass fan controller inside the engine bay where you really cant see it, if you wanna know the water temp, then just buy a water temp gauge...

and tek, what fans are you using anyways?
