I have the ID-Cooling DF-12025, three rgb case fans that have an rgb controller included to control its lights. I also have the Deepcool RGB 350 (RGB LED light strips). it also has an rgb controller included. My question is, will I be able to connect the rgb headers of both the case fans and led light strips all to one rgb led controller? So for example, I could connect my Deepcool RGB 350 light strips together with my ID-Cooling DF-12025 case fans' rgb controller. Could it possibly work, considering that they are of different brands? How can I be certain that its safe and is compatible to connect different components' rgb headers to one individual rgb controller?

I have a Corsair Air 540 and am considering doing some mods to it. Current setup is a Cryorig H7 CPU cooler w/ a 7600k (OC to a MASSIVE 4.5ghz-Owen Wilson WOW.gif) and a 1060 6GB ROG Strix that hits about 2038mhz. I like to keep my temps around 50c on both GPU and CPU while gaming and I realize that's pretty low compared to other peoples' standards but yeah... Anyhow the current case fan setup is 3 120mm Corsair AF in front, 2 140MM AF in top and 1 140MM AF in the rear. The 3 120mm in the front will soon be replaced by LL 120s and so I'll have a few fans left over with nowhere for them to go. I was considering moving the two HDDs at the bottom of the case in the hot swap bay to the two 5.25 bays on the right half of the computer and rigging up two 120mm fans for the bottom of the case to feed into the GPU. Currently the only exhausts on the case are the rear top and rear of the case. Positive pressure is pretty pronounced on all the vents and verified with a smoke test except when the GPU fans are pushing 50% or so, in which case the bottom rear vents become intakes due to the rearmost fan scavenging for air since the front two fans rob any potential airflow from it. The picture is not of my computer, but has a similar fan setup to what I'm going for, albeit liquid cooled. If I were to go this route I'm curious as to how people would setup intake/exhaust. I would consider running top left, left, bottom, and FRONT bottom as intakes, and three in the top right as exhausts. Ultimately the goal is to quiet and cool the graphics card with case fans. There is a large amount of HDD noise because beneath the swap bays on the bottom is just a cutout. Not sure if moving that closer to me would be wise either, seeing as the case sits to my left.

I want to add 2 140mm fans to the top of my case, but I don't know if they both will fit together. What worries me is will there be enough space between the fans. What do you think?

Fans: Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 140mm PWM (4-pin) Motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170-Gaming-K3-rev-10 Why aren't my case fans following the curve I set up in gigabyte's smart fan 5? It is also showing wrong temperature of cpu. Pic1: CPU fan showing 40c and following the curve normally as I apply load. Pic2: Case fan showing different temperature than CPU and not following the curve as I apply load. Pic3: Why does it show that my case fan max rpm is 879 even though it's rated for 1000rpm? Also why controllable range of 70-100% ?

I have seen these case fans listed on the Cooler Master website and was looking into buying them for my upcoming PC build, however I was unable to find anywhere to buy them. Does anyone know something about these fans and where I could buy them from, I dont care if they have to be sent from a different country. I'm from Australia btw. Cooler Master MF120R A-RGB http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/case-fan/masterfan-mf120r-argb-3in1/ Thanks for any help.

Hi all, I have a Corsair Carbide 500R case, and I'm looking to buy a 140mm fan or two for the top. But I'm really confused... the 140mm fans I find are intake fans... the only way I could put them on top for exhaust is if I flipped them around and had them upsidown. And I doubt the cable would stretch or work in that position. How do I go about finding case fans meant to exhaust from the top of the case? Thanks

Hey Everyone! I am looking to replace the stock fans that came with my AIO water cooler for noise purposes. When playing games and also when the system is under heavy load, the noise is still rather noticeable so I'm looking to find some affordable quiet fans with some RGB LED's. I'm looking into swapping out my case for a "Thermaltake View 71 Tempered Glass RGB Edition". I currently have a NZXT Noctis 450. As for budget, I don't have money to just throw everywhere but will happily pay more if it means quiet performance. Essentially, I am looking for any recommendations on the best, silent (if possible) aftermarket 120mm fans. Thanks for reading, Jack.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a asrock motherboard called: ASRock AB350M Pro4. Later on I found out that a just have two fan connectors on my motherboard and three 0,30A case fans that came with my corsair air 240. Nothing was clear about the maximum amperage of the fan connector on the motherboard could handle. The maximum amperage of the cpu_fan connector was clear and is written in the manual wich is 1,00A, but that wasn't the case for the case fan connectors. So does anyone have any clue what the maximum amperage is of the fan connectors from THIS motherboard?

I'm helping a friend with troubleshooting some issues with his build, and one of the complaints is that both stock fans (one rear, one top) in his S340 Elite case have apparently seized up. No matter what the temperature is inside the case, the fans refuse to spin any faster than maybe one RPM. So after some effort spent trying to figure out a solution for the fans I've decided that it's time to replace them. Is there something I'm missing here or is it truly time to replace them? The case is a year old. My friend has barely enough money to spare on new fans, and he certainly can't afford premium fans at least for now. What is a good stopgap solution that people turn to nowadays? Has to be a 2 pack set of good low price case fans priced at preferably below $40 after California sales tax (~8%).

Hi, so I've always been for 120mm fans for all of my NZXT S340 fans, I'm talking 2 120mm intakes, a 120mm at the top, and a 120mm at the back. I don't know why either. I'm wondering, are there any airflow benefits that I could potentially gain from converting to 140mm intakes? I would be going from 2 Corsair SP120 RGB fans to 2 Corsair LL140 RGB fans if I were to make the switch.

I am in need of replacing my pre-installed rosewill fans in my case that currently run off of the motherboard via pwm. I removed the 140mm fan from my case at the top because it was very loud and even then the 120mm and intake and exhaust are still fairly audible. I do own a noctua cpu cooler and have noticed those are great fans but currently i don't a big budget. Is it possible to get 2 120mm silent fans that will keep the air flowing on a low budget.

Hey all, I have the Phanteks Enthoo Pro computer case. I'd love to keep a balance of noise and thermals, but I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way with the right fans. My case has almost all fan slots used. I used the Asus FanXpert4 to automatically create Silent, Balanced, Turbo and Full Speed profiles, as well as a custom profile that sets fan speed % to be the same as CPU temp. With the custom profile, the fans are decently quiet but internal thermals suffer somewhat. With the turbo, the thermals are better but fans are slightly louder. My girlfriend thinks the noise is fine. The case noise is blocked out when I'm gaming, but if I can hear the fans while web browsing, it's too loud for me. Any sugguestions, recommendations or ways to improve this setup? I've thought of replacing the two front fans with 140mm fans. Bigger fans should mean slower fan speed, right? I have my HDD suspended in the HDD cage via elastic bands, as my HDD was causing vibrations before. Front: 3 be quiet! Silent Wings 2 120mm fans for intake (One is mounted on the HDD cage, about an inch away from graphics card) Bottom: 2 SilenX 120mm fans for intake Top: 2 Fractal Design Silent Series 120mm fans for exhaust Back: 1 Phanteks 140mm fan for exhaust (came with the case) Guts: i5 4670s LGA1150 Haswell Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo with 2 Noctua NF-F12 fans Asus z97-A/3.1 ATX Gigabyte RX 580 8GB 8GB EVGA RAM 2400Mhz EVGA 550w SuperNova G2

Hello Guys, I am sure this was mentioned somewhere but i just can't find it. I have the EKWB P360 Kit with push/pull config using high static pressure EKWB Vardar F3 fans, Now I am looking for some decent 3 exhaust fans, and because i am a big fan of EKWB i was thinking of the Vardar F4, i know that the Vardar F4 is a high static pressure fan meaning that it is not optimized to work as an exhaust but when i look at the numbers is has a CFM of 77 and static pressure of 3.16 which surpasses some other high airflow fans like the Corsair AF120, and much cheaper too! So the question, will the EKWB Vardar High Static Pressure F4 Fans (3 of them, 2 upper side of the case and 1 rear) act as a good exhaust fans giving my above mentioned intake? (The case is Corsair 500D if it makes any difference) Thanks a lot folks

So I'm wondering what size of a liquid cooler to buy, looking between the NZXT X52 and X62? The thing is, I'm also changing the fans (Corsair LL series) and all in all the difference is $50 on the nose. I'm getting the fans early and I can get 3 140mm fans in a 2 pack and 1 pack for $180, OR a 3 pack of 120mm fans for $150. With tax and counting the extra $20 for the X62 over the X52 that's the $50 difference. Basically, is it worth the extra price? My case is a Corsair 750D so size is not an issue, but are there any benefits of a 280mm rad over 240mm other than like a few degrees celsius? Thanks for any advice!

I don't care about rgb or anything like that. Just pure performance, mainly focusing on blade design over motor. As I plan on taking said fan blades and putting them onto a different chasiy the NZXT Aer rgb 120 chasiy to be exact.

I know what 4-pin and 3-pin fans are. Basically. 4-pin fans are controlled via PWM and 3-pins can only be controlled by voltage adjustment. But wait... if you can control them both, why do you need (or why would you want) 4-pin over 3-pin if 3-pin is cheaper? Is it easier? Is it more stable? Just curious. I'm trying to get the greatest value in air cooling for a Meshify C.

Hello, this is my first time posting anything on these forums, I hope I'm asking my questions in the right place.^^ Recently my pc has been pretty loud. The noise is coming mainly from the cpu fan and even though I cleaned my entire pc, it stays pretty noisy. Now my questions are: 1) Can I just replace the 120mm fan with any other fan, for example a silent wing 3? The mounting of the fan looks like this: 2) What fan would be best? A static pressure fan or just an airflow one? 3) How good is the noise level of AiO coolers compared to air cooling? Is there any reason to switch to a cheaper AiO for me, even though air cooling was capable of keeping temperatures low? I'm also planning to replace my 5 year old case. I will probably pick up the fractal define c tg or the nxzt s340 elite. 4) Which case would be better? Again mostly about the noise level, but also about cable management? I heard that the define c is supposed to be better in both, but I like the looks of the s340 elite more ;-/ 5) I still have three pure wings 2 120mm left, which are pretty new (6months). Are 140mm ones better (quieter) for the front intake? My specs are: i5 4670k (OC) -> will upgrade the cpu to the end of the year ASROCK z87 pro4 8gb ram Sapphire 580 RX 8gb nitro+ HDD, SSD etc. Thanks for helping me.

Hi, I'm currently looking for really silent 140mm case fans, I mean fans where almost only the airflow itself is audible. In the past, my stock case fans were always fine but the fans of my new case are really loud, you have to set the PWM speed to 20% or better 15% to make them sound acceptable. Of course I've already red a lot of reviews on the internet and created a litle list with some of the suggestions I found. The price isn't a problem, since I'll only need 3 fans but if less money can buy around the same noise/performance I'd appreciate it. So I'd love it if you guys could look at my list here and maybe write which ones you would buy or maybe you even know better ones.

So I'm looking into buying a noctua na-fc1(to connect 3 fans) due to insufficient number of fan headers on my mobo. What I want to know is it going to draw power from power supply or from the fan header as the cables connects to both? From what I've read I could damage my mobo by connecting too many fans on a single header.

today I added 3x NF-A14 case fans to my rig and tried to configure them using MSI Command Center but that software is pretty garbage and doesn't offer a lot of options, and whenever it's running it eats up up to 10% Cpu usage at the time. Is there a better solution to set up fan profiles? Is fan profiles actually necessary or should I just leave the fans at 50%? I mainly got the fans to help cool down my GPU a bit since it's hitting around 75-77C under full load in games(yes its a bit warm here during summer). Is there a way to set case fan profiles tied to GPU? thanks for helping

Hello all,I know many of you probably own or had this motherboard at one point in time. ASUS own ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura As you all may know the board doesn't have any four pin RGB headers. But yet it supports Aura Software, only thing seems to be getting anything "Aura-like" is the RGB Northbridge. I found a set of fan grills that caught my eye, made by Phantek, it's Halo series rgb grills I that's the name of which allows the owner to turn any old fan into an RGB fan, (120mm or 140mm as of my knowledge) I know I would need an RGB/LED splitter cable thingy. to complete this, so on the market is there any kind of SATA or Molex to convert the power since my board doesn't have the actual headers required. Really dislike having chronic pain and all full of pain pills for my condition, makes my life confusion at times, I think I've spoke with a Guy named "Matt" who runs cablemod.com or something and the guys had a RGB strip on the market I wanted but, it was a kit you'd have to buy that comes with a power cable? so the 970 can use the actual aura software which came with the motherboard itself. I've seen these on youtube and the LED's are bright and not dim nor flickering. I know most of us users, who dislike the colors of an Noctua fan, and plan on purchasing 7 NF-A14 iPPC 140mm, 4 for the rad, 3 for the front and 1 rear fan, and want all of them to provide extra light. I am an owner of a Corsair Graphite 780 T case, for extreme cooling, and just wondered how I could still get this configuration to work without having RGB headers on the board. Thanks In Advance

Which is better? Both are high air flow fans... I also want them to add good aesthetics to my case. Corsair AF120 LED is around $12 in my country http://dynaquestpc.com/product/corsair-af120-led-quiet-edition-120mm-fan/ Bitfenix Spectre 120 LED is $11.50 LOL http://dynaquestpc.com/product/bitfenix-spectre-led-120mm-case-fan-red-blue-white/ Tell me which one is slightly better and will add good looks to my case. Thanks! PS: My case is the Tecware Edge TG

Hello all. I have a quick question/concern about my current case's fan setup. I have 5 120mm fans working as intake, and 1 120mm fan working as exhaust. Here is a link to a professionally-drawn image that diagrams the scene. My case is a Corsair 760T. Is this case setup creating way too much positive pressure, and is that really a bad thing? Or am I worrying too much? Thanks! https://gyazo.com/112034ee92fa6c10a850c70de26c0b97

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with RGB fans of any sort, and if anyone could recommend a certain brand or fan. I have been looking at the corsair LL series 120mm fans, but I am not sure on how hard they are to hookup (I already have a prebuilt build) that I would be using them in. I also looked at NZXT fans, but it seems like the LL Series ones have better customization and would not cost as much by the time you add the Hue + etc.. Thanks.

Currently I have a Ryzen 5 1400 overclocked to 3.8 at 1.35 volts. I am planning on lowering the voltage but while I was stress testing the setting, my pc was as hot as an oven. The hot air coming from the top even heated the bottom of my desk, so I want to keep my pc cooler. Any suggestions? I included some pictures below. Front of the case. There is only one fan Top fan. There is an open spot where I could purchase another fan, if needed Exhaust fan. There is a radiator behind it connected to the h60. Bottom fan
