  1. I just built a mITX i5 Kaby Lake w/ 970 & 1 SSD, 16gb ddr4... anyway I have a AX750 Corsair PSU.. my current issue is.. I'll be using my computer then poof randomly turns off and won't turn back on until the next morning....... The PSU I did buy was a refurb from Corsair but really...................... Help
  2. Update - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C249PEO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got these for the front after doing some research... going to do the pull method outside air and exhaust out the back & top ;-)
  3. https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-SP120-Quiet-Twin-Pack/dp/B007RESFR2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484150606&sr=8-1&keywords=SP120+Quiet Are quiet w/ no PWM?... https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Air-SP120-High-Performance/dp/B00C249PUI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1484150632&sr=8-5&keywords=SP120+Quiet+PWM has PWM. Not sure what I need as I have a GA-Z170MX Gaming 5 motherboard, H100i V2.... But what I do know is my fans ramp to 100% during boot for a split second... then they are fine always after.. This is a hackintosh not sure if that makes a difference, probably not.
  4. The way the case is designed with the fans though and I'm getting 2 rear exhaust fans from Amazon right now 80MM for the back it makes sense to go in and right back out the back & top. There isn't enough room for top or bottom mounting of the radiator as my graphics card & wifi card are in the way (its a hackintosh). I cannot even put a fan in the bottom. The inside does get rather warm due to no exhaust fans so I'm adding 2 exhaust fans to help with that, and will hopefully lower GPU temps as it wont be sitting in an oven of heat... My next problem is the fans spin to 100% during boot for 1 second, not sure why.... and I kind of want quieter fans for my radiator current positioning based on the picture. So kind of looking for some input for good 120MM quiet fans, w/ LEDs if possible that aren't crazy expensive.. I was looking at SP120 LED ones, but they also make Quiet ones too..... but no LEDs, and some other brands. What's everyones experience? The ones the H100i come with are loud. Also I forget how my two are setup.. how they are plugged in.. not sure with the whole PWM etc...
  5. I have the 240 Air and the 980 TI, and I'm having a little bit of heat issues so I plan to fill the back to two splots with 80MM fans to exhaust some of the heat. I do run my fans in FRONT of my radiator currently PULLING in room temp air and pushing through radiator into the case, but having no where to go it causes it to get hot, so thats where my exhaust fans will come into play. The design of the Corsair 240 Air is to pull outside air through the front and push it out the top and back of it... Now some people are saying run the two fans on the front using the PULL method, to pull heat from the inside and radiator and push it out through the front which would defeat the purpose though? How should these fans be properly ran? Basically this was my plan. I currently have the arrow facing < and down on my corsair stock fans, with the open blades facing out the case to pull in, but yes it runs hot (specifically the graphics card, stupid 980 TI), but the two back fans should help.. but thoughts on air flow? Also yes the method in the picture will cause dust bunnies with the front radiator but what other choice do I have when that's how it gets the best performance. I don't mind cleaning it once or twice a year. Edit: I'm considering now some LED fans or just plain awesome quiet fans for the h100i v2 to replace the 2 front ones, as they are loud..... Whats everyone have for fans? (This computer is a Hackintosh), and during my boot my fans ramp to 100% and get really loud for a split second then stop, not sure why....... but the fans that come with it are loud in general anyway.
