HOW TO: Install ZALMAN ZM-MFC1 Fan-Speed Controller


Having a desktop PC running 24 hours a day in the room you sleep in becomes a problem, especially if there are more than enough fans in your tower case.
Adding the ZALMAN ZM-MFC1 Fan-Speed controller was a wise and very customizable choice concerning the noise produced by all these fans.

The major pros of the ZM-MFC1 are the 2 switches which allow you to choose between OFF, 5v and 12v voltage, the nicely arranged 4 dimmers and the low price of the module. The only con is the leds than cannot be turned off.
It is a 1-DIN unit and is easily mounted on the tower case with 4 bolts screwed in the stock holes.

Installing the kit is very easy. Choose the fans you want to manage by the controller and plug -if needed- the extension cables supplied with the kit.

Make enough space to work with your hands

Manage the cables, connect them to the rear of the ZM-MFC1 and connect it to your PSU. Close everything up and play with your new toy.
