Hello everyone! I want to know how to put 2 fans in zalman Z11, I already saw thats possible but dont know how.

Thank you!

What do you mean by two fans? The Zalman Z11 already comes with 2 fans. Are you trying to add more? Replace them? What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Here's Zalman's site, and if you scroll down to the table you'll see exactly how many fans you can mount and where http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=475

Forgot to said, 2 FRONT fans

You take off the front panel, then you unscrew the old fan, then you screw in the two new fans. I still don't understand what you're asking. Are you asking what fans you should get?

Sorry, I will explain it better, See this image:

It have 2 Fans, but in the Zalman official website it can only have 1 fan. I want to know how I can put the second one because I can't see any holes to screw.

Thanks and sorry the bad question I've made.

I see one fan on the top side of the front, are you trying to mount another fan on the front? If so, and if it doesn't have room for that out of the box, you're going to have to do some drilling. Maybe send some more pictures and some close-ups, and then I'll be able to help you a bit more.

Hello guys, i own Z11 and i´ve already done some mods on on it, and i´ve added one more front fan ^^ It´s just easy, but you need 140mm fan, or 120mm, cable ties, one more person that will holds your fan. For first, make there a place for it, take the fan, ties, and add tie on every screw hole and take it through holes for installing dvd-roms and things like that. Take ties through it and tie it strongly. I´ll upload some pictures ^^ It´s simple and easy ^^

Thanks ! The fan controller is LC-CFC-1. But there´s one problem with controller, when you press buttons, it beeps loudly, so solution is, get a duct tape and look after small black speaker on back of the controller. Tape it and it´ll be more quiter
