  • Abstract:  Zalman introduced its ZM-MFC2 multi fan speed controller last year at CES, and the reason were reviewing it today are three-fold. For starters, the Zalman ZM-MFC2 digitally monitors four fans to +/- 10RPM and displays that data in real time.

  • The ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller has changed with the times, and is a vast improvement over the previous model. This fan bus has a digital interface, digital readout, and high contrast LCD that really makes your case hard to overlook. In addition to...

  • After the initial reaction, the novelty wears off pretty quickly after we had used it for a while – it looks fantastic but any long term usability is destroyed by the fact we simply couldn’t read it! It got extremely frustrating to continually have to...

  • Very functional hightech fan controller, Controls up to five fans, Measures and displays power consumption, Cool, cool, cool
  • A little pricey, but you get what you pay for
  • As I mentioned before, with the MFC2, Zalman has taken the lowly fan controller to a new level. The display, complete with animated rotating fans add a real high-tech effect. The power consumption display is enlightening and really contributes to the ...

  • Zalmans ZM-MFC2 is a class act which has smooth lines and a fantastic color data display. The power consumption meter is a nice bonus allowing the end user to monitor fan, temperature and now even power data at a glance. The thin tipped temperature...

  • Abstract:  A fan controller with a power meter built in? Zalmans ZM-MFC2 brings something new to the endless list of things you can display on your front panel: Power consumption. Oh, and it also controls up to four fans.

  • As you read this, you can bet someone out there is searching the stores and internet for the perfect fan controller. Since, most users have the choice of their own motherboards integrated sound, or Audio PCI cards, as well as USB ports, fan controller...

  • With everything installed, except for the thermal probes, we set out to get a feel for not only how the MFC2 works, but also, how useful it was and would be for the average user. When powering the PC on, we were greeted with an alarming beep. This was...

  • Simple controls, Nice clean look, Easy to install, Fan, Temperature & Power information.
  • Control by RPM is not accurate for fans that cannot reach high RPMs.
  • This fan controller is the answer for a long awaited addition to the Zalman product line. Users have cried for a better way to control all of their Zalman fans without having to route multiple FanMate2 controllers out the back of the case. The ZM-MF...
