Fan Controller

im buying a MM U2 UFO and need fan controllers, with 9x120mm ambers its going to get noisey.

ive been looking at the Zalman ZM MFC2 which can monitor power consumption and temps aswell as change fan speed up to 4 fans

i was originally going to get 2 Zalman ZM MFC1 Plus but to keep with the ornage and black look i thought against it as i would have to change the LEDs to orange.

but im now toying with the idea of 1 of each or maybe even 2 of the MFC2's.

whats your opinion on this?

I had an MFC2, hated it, its more of a Gimmick, sent it back and now I have a Sunbeam Rheostat. The MFC2 has a bit delay from when u dial in what u want to when the fan speed actually changes, I also didnt like all the extra wires from the temp sensors and the power display.

thanks for the heads up, might just go for the standard rheostat zalman jobby. doesnt look as fancy but it will do the job

How many fans can you control from the sunbeam reostat? Which fan controller is good that can control lots of fans?

Sunbeam has got 4 seperate channels but each can handle 20watts

So depending on the power of the fans you can 2 or 3 on each channel. Good simple controller and highly recommended.
