So he uses speed control to get an appropriate amount of air moving as needed. I don't remember if he automated the speed or it's based on temp reading.

In 2021, just after I swapped cars for the E53, I had to replace the viscous clutch fan, because the clutch was going out, and the blades were deteriorating. I used a 3000cfm aftermarket electric fan (brushed) and a thermostatic switch + override switch to switch it on, at first, then added a speed controller (for brushed fans) in-line, so I could control the fan speed from zero to 100%, as needed, from my driver's seat. Never touched the Auxilliary fan, which was working fine.
But, three years later (in 2024), the Aux fan quit working, and I installed a TYC fan in its' place. All is well, now.
