2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, but not very useful, October 31, 2008

By	GrumpyOne (Northern, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This looks nice, has nice wiring harnesses, but is not very good at its intended function ie. speed control. The controls are too cheap, very narrow range of control, not much better than the hi-lo toggle switches.

I have purchased it couple of weeks ago and just installed into my computer. I can say one only thing - this is just great to control speed of cooling fans. When I don't run CPU-intensive applications, I am lowering fan's speed to the minimum, which makes my computer really quiet.

* Warning: don't forget to install temperature monitoring application (which usually comes with drivers for motherboard). It will warn you in case if CPU of motherboard temperature exceeds a limit. Otherwise, even considering a fact, that all modern BIOS'es have automatic temperature shutdown procedure, you may still potentially burn your computer components when cooling power is not enough.

Zalman has always been, and most likely will always be a quality brand name in PC cooling components and accessories. This fan controller is no exception. It works exactly as advertised, GREATLY reducing the noise of my case fans (3 external, 1 CPU). It's the difference between night and day. The wiring was simple, the instructions were very easy to understand. The only difficulty I had was mounting the unit in one of my drive bays. My case has a tool-less design for the drive bays, and this unit simply isn't deep enough to use those, so a little custom mounting was needed, but it looks great and works even better. Can't go wrong with this.
