  1. Hello @NZXT-Eric, I have a question regarding your Hue+ RGB LED strips: Are they compatible with the Asus AURA software and can they be hooked up to the RGB header on the motherboard like my Asus Rampage V Edition 10?

      Ah

       

      I have a 5930K for my PC, which do basically everything I do on it. Right now I'm creating something in Maya which I will export and to some touch-ups and the render in 3ds Max. So having 12 threads available for me to use in that kind of workflow when I go and do the renders. My school has workstations that mostly comprises of Quadro K2000D's (lol why do I need a Quadro right now? I game on my computer too), 4960X CPUs, 16GB of RAM (albeit dual channel and not quad like mine), Asus Rampage IV Blacks, and Antec HCG 900 80 Plus Bronze PSUs. The school computers for my Animation and Video Game Development classes were built by Southland Technologies.

       

      One computer has a 3970X, 32GB of RAM, an Asus P9X79 (with FireWire connectors!), and a Quadro K5000, all powered by a Seasonic X-Series PSU of unknown capacity. That one is built by Boxx Technologies.

       

      Oh and mind you, mine is more overpowered than the school computers lol_by_phillyzero.giflol_by_phillyzero.giflol_by_phillyzero.gif because I overclocked it (mine can certainly do higher, I did already. But to tame the heat my 5930K spits out, I am currently running it at 4.2 GHz)

      I forgot to add one other thing, my GTX 960 4GB FTW card is also overclocked.

      My 5930k is an overboard PC. Although since it gets used for servers, it kinda helps in a game like Arma 3 where it loves RAM on the servers end.

       

      5930k stock

      Asus Deluxe II 

      Vengeance 128gb @ 2666

      AX1200 not the I PSU

      Corsair 760T white

       

      It's got a glass tube loop, except around the GPU. It's 980ti died, I rma'd it,and ended up letting a friend use that and he bought that card off me. So now it's running one of my old 670's. The loop in it is ghetto, since I took out the 980ti, but I dont care.. If I ever bought a good GPU to stick in it, I can reuse the glass bend I have from the CPU down to the first GPU. 

       

      Current it's glass loop to the IN on the cpu waterblock, then goes soft tubing back to the resevoir. Since it's running a GPU Im not getting a waterblock for. I ghetto modded it so it could keep it's cooling without too much hassle. 

       

      Its loop goes from the Resevoir, to the rad, to the CPU then back to the Res. Since I took out the original gpu it had when I built the loop. The 670 is just in there because it works, lets me plug a HDMI cable into it when I need to look at it, and since it's in the closet, it's looks dont matter that much.

       

      I had a leak and destroyed my original board, but the CPU made it out. Killed its 980ti too. Now its fine with it's glass/soft tubing loop. I may just stick a 1070 in it, watercool it so it looks good again. See if I can try to reuse the old tubing I have from the CPU to GPU block. 

       

      I treat it like a server, but at once point it used to be my daily used PC, then I watercooled it and since it's been treated like crap. It runs so much and is such a vital PC for me, that I'd have to re set up alot if it ever died.

  2. These cases have to meet a quality standard to be labeled as refurbished. New panels are put onto the cases and then QC'd to meet our standards. Each case does come with a one year warranty as well.
  3. Hey guys just a little post about a few things.. If your in the LA area and want to do a focus group with NZXT, please see this. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/nzxtFGOCN Now, we are doing a product survey as well, https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/nzxtPSOCN AMA on Reddit to about the case as well http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2g0rwa/discussion_s340_launch_amaa_and_focus_group_info/
  4. We are a smaller company then people seemed to believe. Maybe pushing mid 30s world wide, where Corsair has over 500+. Our culture is 1000% times different then every other manufacturer out on the market. Its one of the reasons why I came to work at NZXT over the others. Our design team has a relentless passion to bringing innovative designs and features no one else is doing. Its about quality not quantity. Also, We made it with the Phantom case 4 years ago .
  5. The pictures are renders at are up on this site. If you want a hard picture see here,
  6. I was able to mount that 120 rad in the back of the video case, so I would say YEP.
  7. Its not really. Looks at in the terms of suction. It pulls air in by the fans sucking it in. Its not as restrictive as you think.
  8. You are talking about inches. Its about 2 inches difference from ATX to mATX. Having the S340 setup to allow ATX motherboards in a Mid tower is one of the best unseen features. With ATX being the standard for motherboards, it makes since to produce a case with that in mind. The front panel has a 2 inch gap up top that pulls air in. I didnt see any hits in airflow on this case. The front support 240/280 rads, so you can install a 240 rad. Support 280 in front, not just 240. We had to make some sacrifices in order to keep the case at a price point, while being budget friend. It really is a no frills case. 7.05kg or 15.5 lbs Pricing should be the same. 7.5kg or 15.5 lbs Umm no. Corsair will always be Corsair, and we will always be NZXT. You are talking about inches. Its about 2 inches difference from ATX to mATX. Having the S340 setup to allow ATX motherboards in a Mid tower is one of the best unseen features. With ATX being the standard for motherboards, it makes since to produce a case with that in mind. See above. Adding the Cable Management bar, removes the needs for grommets. Plus adding the grommets adds more to the price.
  9. That is a fan hub not a fan controller. It's only designed to run at 100%. What you need to do is get some 3 pin voltage adapters for it to lower the incoming 12v to 7v which will lower the fan speeds and noise.
  10. Also $30 bucks more is a steal, based on that we have to retool the front panel and bottom panel of the case. Make a new logo panel and etc.. It ends up being on point.
  11. You never know what is up our sleeves!!!!!
  12. 100% steel trays is what you seen. Not the entire case. There is a huge difference in that alone.
