    Just fitted a Zalman 6 fan speed controller

    Ah peace and quiet

    Why why why didnt i fit one a long time ago

    Near silent on idle and fully adjustable for gamming as the game blocks out the noise

    the controller can't tell the fan how fast to run through it's RPM lead, fan's are "smart" A fan controller is notherng more than a rheostat that changes the volatage to the fan. Lower voltage means a slower fan. You ned to plug your fan's power leads into the fan controller, but check your fans power consumptions vs the rated current through the fanbus. If the fan can draw more power than the fanbus can give you'll end up with a shorted fanbus and a fan that doesn't spin, bad news if you're not around when your CPU fan dies

    Thats all I have on the front of mine, a 12V automotive rheostat. Runs my TT Volcano 9 just fine. Low hum or let er whine.. just a roll of the knob.
