A closer look:

You are already probably thinking that this looks like one of the coolest fan controllers out there. Well, you are not far off :) With the black and silver theme it will suit most computer cases. Let's have a look at the illustration (provided by Zalman) of the front panel.

1. Graphic Power Load Meter: Displays power between 30 to 800W in 4 stages.
2. Numeric Power Load Display: Numerically displays power between 30 and 800W. (The Numeric Power Load Display will read “LLL”when an overflow occurs. “LLL”indicates power loads beyond the unit’s measurable range.)
3. Fan Status Display: The Fan’s operation status is indicated with animated propeller images.
4. Fan Channels
5. RPM Display: During RPM Setting, RPM is displayed in units of 60RPM, and actual operational RPM is displayed in units of 10RPM.
6. Temperature Display: Displays temperature readings between -9 °C and +99 °C
7. Jog Wheel: Used for adjusting Fan RPM. RPM can be set from 1000 to 5940RPM in units of 60RPM.
8. Mode Button: Used for selecting a Fan Channel and saving the Fan RPM setting.


Is this not the sweetest looking fan controller on the planet!



To illustrate the power supply load in watts, take a peek at the pictures below. In the left picture is the computer system under typical load. In the left picture is the computer system under heavy load running the FEAR Combat Multiplayer game. This wattage readout with the graphic power load meter can be very useful because it tells you exactly how much power your system is using in real time.



Now, let's have a look at the illustration (provided by Zalman) of the back panel.

1. Standard Fans (Fan 1~3): 3-Pin fans that include the RPM output function can be connected for use. PWM Fan (Fan 4): 4-Pin fan that includes the PWM function can be connected for use.
2. Temperature Sensing: Four temperature sensors can be connected.
3. CVS Terminal: Receives the measured values of the CVS.
4. Power Connector: Connects with the PSUs 4-Pin connector.



Below are the mounting holes. There are mounting holes on the bottom, left and right, so this unit should fit in almost any case.
