This voltage controller is easy to use and can support loads up to 700mA (8.4W) according to the manufacturer literature. Most fans use about 85mA to 200mA (~1.00W to 2.40W at 12V full power)so after verifying your 12V supply and fan current usage, you can operate several fans from this controller. I use mine with a Noctua NF-12P 1300RPM 120mm fan and it works fine. I think the fan controller may be a linear mode transistor type controller or simple rheostat, either way I am thankful it doesn't emit a dreaded switching PWM tone!
overall i think this is a really good fan controller it helps bring down the noise level of the fans in my case. be careful if you are using this with LED fans, they obviously will dim if they don't get a lot of power, and tend to rattle as well, i am using cooler master's blue led fans at 5v they rattle a bit, but you have to have your ear right up against it to hear it, and the led practically turn off. so i had to give it a little more power in order to be satisfied completely.

Need to control case fans (i'm a fans contol freak i guess)
it's easy to install, easy to use and have a small foot print. The connecting cable was long enough to pass them out by the case rear holes for water cooling, so i can slow down the fans to whisper quiet while browsing the web, and run the fans faster while gaming...........i have 2x hd5850 in crossfire and an I7-875oc 4Ghz in a Fractal Design case

It's powering my scyth ultra kaze and it works. You can't really complain when it's just a little over 2$, but this also comes with higher end gelid fans. I wished it was just a bit less bulky, cause i had to route this in the front of my antec sonata through the 5.25" drive bays.

Can't beat it for the price. No complaints. Easy install. Cables are Lon enough. I wish you could adjust he speed lower than the lowest setting, I could go lower in my opinion. All in all good for the price.

There are generally 2 makers of these, Gelid and Zalman. Both are basically the same so if you happen to favor one for the other then your not losing quality by choosing either.
These do their job of controlling fan speeds very well and are worth every penny when quieting up your computer's noise.

This one is cheap fan controller but works well. but you have to put it in the case, therefore you fan would run in a pre-set speed, it is hard to change speed afterwards. No matter how, it works.
