Zalman 92mm Quiet Computer Fan with 3-Pin Connector ZM-F2

The Zalman 92mm Case Fan does not generate noise or vibration in silent mode, which can be implemented by utilising the Noiseless Connector RC56 supplied with this product.

Video cards, CPUs, or mainboard chipsets can be cooled to temperatures sufficiently below those required by the manufacturer when the Zalman 92mm Case Fan is operated in silent mode.

This fan comes equipped with a 3-pin connector for easy attachment to your motherboard and supports speed monitoring.

Please note: when using our fans which have 3-pin connectors (connected to the motherboard), some customers have reported that monitoring of the fan speed does not work. This is not due to a fault with the fans, but rather that some motherboards are unable to monitor the rpm of fans which operate below a certain speed. Occasionally, upgrading the motherboard BIOS to the latest version solves this, but otherwise nothing can be done to fix the problem. It is not a serious issue - it just means that you will not be able to monitor how fast your fans are running. Most customers feel that the ability to monitor fan speed is well worth trading for fans which operate in near silence.

Please note: The specifications listed in the chart above are for fans operated in "Silent" mode. To operate an AcoustiFan or Zalman fan in silent mode, the optional resister shipped with these products must be added inline.

If you decide to use more than one case fan in your PC, it is generally good practice for every fan that you have sucking air into the case (usually at the front), you should have another one blowing it out (usually at the rear), in other words, one exhaust fan for every inlet fan. The role of a fan is easily determined by which way around you decide to mount it, since the fans are symmetric and reversible.
