Depending on how many fans you're controlling:

Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme (extreme = 30W/channel vs 20W and better all around imo)

Scythe Kaze Master (12W/channel)

Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller

Hmm is this the model you have? I have been looking at this myself and the few reviews I've seen of it don't mention a restrictive viewing angle?

Do you feel this is something specific to your unit or the product in general?

Well i had a look around and noticed someone also mentioned it in the reviews on the OCUK site.

Looks like that with the sticker on when you first buy it

Was going to take it up with OCUK or Zalman but didnt see the point....

Also noticed your 'first clearout' link.... only 50 more posts to go.........I have loads of stuff to put on there, sorted it out the other day.Been on here for 5 years just dont post much
