3700-Bqe with Zalman fan controller...

I continue my quest for a suitable fan controller.

I know Shadowknight had problems with the Zalman fan controller and the 3700-amb case. Anyone had an easy time installing it in the 3700-bqe, or should I completely write off the Zalman fan controller with that case?

(I asked the same question in this thread:

but I don't think many people read it because of the subject. Please forgive me for reposting the same question.)

I am using a Zalman in a chieftec dragon case and I had the same problems with the ends getting bent in..

The solution is really easy just take 2 pci-covers and use them to brace the ends

Code: Select all

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  ppp                 z
    p                 z
    p                 z
    p                 z
    p                 z
    ppp               z
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

z = zalman
p = pci-cover

just tape/glue the covers togeather (sp?) and to the ends and then you have a solid "bracket"
