| The Final Word
| ![]() Over the years heat has progressively been an issue for computer enthusiasts. It still seems like yesterday that Intel's Pentium line was using brute force to keep up in the "Gigahertz War" and a massive amount of heat was the by product. Many companies have wised up in recent years by developing cooler and more effecient products (ie Intel and their C2D line of CPUs). While this certainly helps, heat continues to be an issue and always will. As more cases fill up with intake and exhaust fans, they quickly learn that a cool case has it's trade-offs. The more fans you add, the closer your case gets to sounding like a jet engine. This is where your friendly fan controller, like Zalman's ZM-MFC2, comes into play.

| Nice review Matt. Personally I have no use for a fan controller one advantage of being old is you can't hear anything. | ||||||||||||||

| Liked the review. Although my rig is getting kinda loud, I actually sort of like the sound of the fans. Lets me know the computer is actually on. ![]() Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 + Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL + Thermalright HR-05 IFX 2GB G.Skill 800MHz F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Silverstone Decathlon 650W Western Digital 250GB SATA II | ||||||||||||||

| I'm Diggin it!
| Excellently done! Makes me want to buy one of them today! I'm into the bling factor with this controller and would love to slow some of my fans down. About the only thing I wish this controller came with is a chassis mounted power contact for the side fan. ![]() I'm diggin it.
