[QUOTE="dero, post: 111110, member: 29291"] Yeah, have you seen the Zalman docs? It says "artificial intelligence fan controller". It's just crap! You can only either set the fans to a fixed speed, or say on/off using a CPU-load or temperature threshold. There is no way to control the speed using the temperature in a smooth way. But, anyway the case is GREAT! I sniffed the communication protocoll from the MPlay-HomeCenter to the MPlay-Hardware. It's quite simple using a COM-Port. My little fan control reads the temperature and adjust sthe fan speed using user-controllable ranges. What's not working yet: The volume-button. I had no time to implement it. Some buttons of the Remote-Control are not working yet. But, I that's only a matter of some days. PM we with you're E-Mail, I will send you a little demo. Have you got an Athlon X2?
