ZALMAN fan controller

[twitchee2]

Is it worth the $25 it costs on new egg?

It's not exactly a handy feature. Either you leave it inside the case, in which case you won't see it, but changing fan speeds is going to be a pain; or somehow you place it outside of the case, but then it'll look ugly.

A front control panel is much easier and better looking.

By the way, I got mine delivered with my Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu HSF for free.

sry yea i was looking at the 6 fan 5.25in controller for 25 at new egg

Ah, that one. *shrugs* I'm not exactly familiar with front-end fan controllers, but after looking on Zalman's website, I'd say that's a nice one. I'd suggest waiting for the opinions of other people.

Yeah this looks to be a good one... I'm considering buying it to get rid of the crappy clicking noise that my ATI on-board fan controler makes. I hope I can figure out how to get a converter for that plug, it's the smaller type than a standard fan connector.

I just want to be able to tweak the fans to get the perfect balance of cooling and noise... I just don't know which is the best front-bay controller. There are alot!

Any experiences?

i like the nexus, forget which one it is, but four fan control and has adapters for 3 pin and 4 pin molex on each. some only have one or the other so check your fans
