cpu fan

[drb46]

I'm building a new system and trying to keep it as quiet as I can. I have a Zalman CNPX10X cpu cooler, which comes with a 120mm quiet fan, a fan controller, and connects to the reg fan connector on the ASUS P6T motherboard. Should I get a fan that will connect to the CPU fan connector so that the motherboard will control the fan speed or am I better off to just use the manual fan controller that comes with the Zalman?

Personally, I'm a fan of manual fan control. I leave fans on low when I'm just surfing the net, then crank them when i'm gaming. It takes all of a few seconds to adjust this. This is just personal preference, though.

Ok thanks for the reply. I think that I'll try the manual fan control to start with and see how it goes.
