I suspect its a fan speed or direction switch? But Im not sure when or why I should choose to use it. Can I get some advice?

What model case is that on?

I don't think it has anything to do with the AIO cpu cooler. There appear to be something marked on the plastic under it but it's not clear enough. Is that a small led light next to it or a hole? If a hole, maybe it is just a sliding cover.

I'm curious about the case as well.

It looks like Large Fan --> Pause --> Small Fan.

Which leads me to believe it's some form of fan control as well, but I'm not sure which case this comes from.

Def fan control of some sort.

Per Antec, that is indeed a fan speed controller.

The settings are "High," "Stop," and "Low" from left to right. What fans this controls exactly will depend entirely how on the system is wired.

Thank you, I am now not afraid to use it. I was cautious because it controls the fans on the front of my case, and I believe its for the fluid tank

If your temps are good, noise is good, and you have no issues with the setup then I see little reason to ever mess with it during normal operation. Strong

Agree but it will hurt nothing to play with it and see what temps and noise level do.  I have a case with a 3 speed front fan switch and I keep on low setting unless I am playing. Keeps dust and noise down.

Enjoy. Smile
