Hello Peeps. I got some Deepcool ARGB casing fans from a Deepcool Mattrex case .But these fans have 3 pin JSTSM connector and I wasn't provided any converter. So is there any way to use ARGB on these fans without any converter/hub/ splitter? live in a kind of remote area so hard to get anything

Hi i have a question that might be dumb. But i have the MSI MPG Velox 100R case. It says it supports 3 front 140mm fans but only a 360 front radiator. So if it can have 3 140 fans why can't it have a 420 rad? is this a dumb question? T~T the radiator im wanting is the arctic liquid freezer iii which is 458mm length and the MSI MPG Velox 100R case is 474x231x490mm in size

I have a problem just like this. However, I am given the option for 3 90mm fans for the bottom. Could I use it as intake and the other 3 as exhaust?

Hello everyone! I have a few doubts regarding my case's ability to properly cool my components. First off, the front panel is solid (I know, should've gotten a mesh one). Second, there's 3 mounting slots for fans, one 120mm at the back and 2x 120mm at the top. Now, the conventional wisdom says that intake fans should be placed at the front and at the bottom of the case and that the rest should be exhaust. Obviously, i can't run that setup due to the mounting and air-flow constraints (side panel is tempered glass, so no luck there either). My components aren't that hot to begin with (Ryzen 3 4100 and XFX RX 580 8GB), but the GPU temps do hit around 77-78c at max tilt. Currently, I only have one exhaust fan at the back. I was thinking of RGB-ing the case with 3 fans, but I'm unsure of the air flow guidelines for my specific scenario, couldn't find anything similar online. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards!

I'm thinking about upgrading my computer case, motherboard, and cpu one step at a time as they are now 5 years old and I'd like a refresh. I was trying to decide a case when I stumbled upon the InWin Modfree. It looks really interesting and since I want to put my own artpiece decoration on the front of the case I'm not concerned with aesthetics. I was trying to find a review and know if there are any red flags or difficulties I should be aware of, but I can't find many reviews. All the reviews on youtube are either below 1k views or from a CES showcase which don't actually build in the case. I found a good one from Hardware Canucks but I'd like to know more. Has anyone built in the Modfree? Are there things you like or don't like?

I'm building a PC using the Fractal Pop Air case, the system is all air cooled and I have a Hyper 212 as a CPU cooler. I was wondering what's the best setup for the case fan. Right now I'm thinking of 2 intake fans at the front and 3 exhaust fans (2 at the top & 1 at the back). Would that be good enough? For the case fans I'm thinking of getting the Cooler Master Masterfan MF120, do suggest if there are better alternatives for decently priced RGB fans.

So my case has tempered glass panels on 1 side and the front, the rest is mesh. I have a dust filter on the bottom. I got 6 fans and the AIO will come, but I have a problem though it sounds really stupid. Do I need to use fans for exhaust, if yes, which one? Or are they all just for intake? I wondered because someone told me to use my bottom fans (with dust filter) for exhaust, but I'm not sure what to do because it doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for reading/reacting!

Hey , im having some grounding issues, my case shocks me a lot of times and i have gigantic input lag and the mouse feels floaty and i tried everything you can imagine but didn´t change the case. The case doesnt have the hd audio neither the usb conectors, im just using the front panel conectors, the standoffs seem a little funky and pc is very unstable, even with tests in aida64 and prime95. Could a case actually be a bottleneck for a pc? Since its not in good conditions. Thanks in advance. PS: Could the bad case actually affect the grounding in the whole pc?

The Hyte Y60 case has 7 half-height expansion slots running by the motherboard, and they include a PCIe riser that lets you mount things like a GPU vertically on 3 full-height expansion slots. I'm trying to mount my RTX 4090 GPU vertically, and find a way to install an Elgato Camlink Pro in the system. The issue being that the Camlink Pro is a full height card that you can't turn into a half-height one, as the HDMI inputs run along the full height of the card. Is there some setup I could do with another riser or the like to get the Camlink Pro to fit in the Hyte Y60 or am I SOL?

Hello everyone, I'm going to buy the RTX 4070 Ti but I noticed that the GPU won't fit in my current case. So I was searching online for a new one and I saw the Phanteks Eclipse G500A D-RGB. Since i'm new with PC buildings I wanted to know one thing... Do I need to worry about the lenght of the cables? My current power supply is the MSI MPG A850GF and i'm worried that the cables that come with it to power the components aren't big enough for it to go from the PSU to the components. I'll attach a picture of the PSU cables length if necessary. In advance i'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I really don't want to mess something up. Thank you very for trying to help me .

I am looking to purchase an airflow case. I never have high end hardware. Generally mid range bang for buck components. MY PC is used mostly for gaming. I have a very old case and am looking to replace it with a mesh airflow case. I will just be going for fan cooling. No AIO's or liquid cooling or anything like that. I have narrowed my choice down to the Corsair 4000D and Lancool 216 but I am very undecided about which one to use so I figured I would create a poll and let that help me decide. Which one of the 2 cases would you all go for.

I've been working on my first build for a bit, (following the ltt guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL4DCEp7blY) and I've come into a bit of an issue. The guide says that it's important to use standoffs in order to prevent your mobo from shorting. I'm using a case from a random desktop from 2010, and examining it shows that the holes for the standoffs are raised, meaning that if I insert standoffs than the mobo won't be aligned with the io shield. (You can see the raised bumps in the image below, I have the screws in there for safekeeping) I disassembled this computer in order to use the case, and the motherboard for this one was screwed straight into the holes, no standoffs. It does seem as if this may be a plate put on top of the rest of the chassis. Do I just need to get a new case, or is this case specifically designed to be used without standoffs? Any help is appreciated. (I'm using an Asrock b450m Pro4 as my motherboard)

Looking at my next build, for a nice white case around 200EUR (budget around 1500EUR but no real cap, will reuse my current GPU and SSDs, in sig below) I made a shortlist with - LianLi Lancool III : classic style, seems very good at everything, build quality, ease of build, features...the easy choice with not much risk - Antec Performance 1 FT : like the design, but seems less practical, has less stellar reviews - And the Fractal Torrent : original design, very good airflow, good reviews, but I'm still wondering if the "weird" PSU location at top is a pro or a con for my build Thanks to anyone thatcould share experience with one of those, especially the Torrent!

Hey! I bought a new graphic cards some days ago and was going to switch to it in the PC when I sensed a tingeling electric feeling from the case. I was already grounded through an ESD armband connected to the radiator, to not damage the graphic card. Googled around and found out that it could be the PSU and ground issues, took my multimeter and checked the AC on the PSU in the case and outside, to be between 8v-15v. Checked the ground and noticed that we do not have ground outlets in our apartment (have no idea how I could have missed this). Googled to see what I could do and found out that the PSU should not let out any Volt from the case, even if it doesn't have a ground. Bought another PSU and this one also had power coming out from it, although it was only 5v-6v this time. I was planning to send the PSU back to warranty, because it shouldn't let out any power? I am going to talk to my landlord and hopefully make him install grounded outlets. Until then, using a power surge between the outlet and the computer. The question is, have I understood this all correctly, that the PSU shouldn't leak any AC through its case, even when it doesn't have a ground? Because it feels kinda crazy that both of these PSUs did have similar issues. Or if it is normal and I don't have to send back this PSU on warranty? Then, how much volt leaking until it is not normal then? Thank you for reading and help and answers is appreciated, I am a noob in electricity!

Hello! Today I've ordered an ssd to come for tommorw. However I want to install it from the front of my case. When I look I have no clue on how to Mount it onto the plate. Would I have to borrow a mounting bit off of the back of the case 'near the psu at the back' and put it on there? I'll show you what I mean. Also the case is a CiT Raider.

Hi, I haven’t been here for a while, but I would like to get some advice regarding where I should mount CPU AiO liquid cooling radiator. I’ve started gathering parts, since I’m waiting for 4080 Super release, I’m buying stuff one by one when some good deals appear, but to the point - I bought Corsair iCUE 5000X and HX1000i already and I’m planning to buy iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX or something similar (most probably 360mm anyway) and my question is - what would be the best spot for the CPU AiO radiator, in 5000X it can be installed in one of three different places 1. front - IMO not preferable option since CPU heat would be blown on other parts like RAM, GPU and MOBO 2. top - seems reasonable since warm air elevates - but in this case opposite to option 1. warm air elevating from other parts like MOBO and GPU would contribute to higher temperature in the radiator hence whole AiO and CPU 3. side (5000X has a vent parallel to mobo, right angle to the front) - shouldn’t directly contribute to rising other parts temperature nor the other way round - but I wonder if this wouldn’t obscure the general airflow and “consume (redirect)” too much of the “fresh (cool)” air which was supposed to come from the front to the GPU, MOBO etc. If I will not go with the 3rd opinion, I’m planning to install 3 fans on the side went the way they would blow fresh (cool) air into the case. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-cases/cc-9011212-ww/icue-5000x-rgb-tempered-glass-mid-tower-atx-pc-smart-case-black-cc-9011212-ww Thanks in advance for your help! Have a Happy New Year! P.S. Other parts I’m planning to buy - please feel free to let me know if you see something “doesn’t click”. - i7 14700K (not F because I want emergency graphics or a signal source for second monitor (to see TS/Discord/Browser or something similar while gaming without losing FPS on the main screen)) - MSI Z790 MPG CARBON WIFI (maybe MAX) - Corsair DOMINATOR (probably Platinum) DDR5 6400MHz 32CL 32GB - RTX 4080 Super (most probably MSI GAMING X TRIO) - 2TB PCIe 4x4 SSD (Samsung 990 Pro or similar level WD Black I think) - maybe some additional 140mm or 120mm Corsair FANs - and maybe some single-sleeved braided PSU cables (Original Corsair or Cablemod) Thanks again!

Just finished a Ryzen build using the Apevia Destiny Mid-Tower Case: https://www.apevia.com/products-cases/destiny-flow-bk There is a problem with the Front Panel connectors, which I have never seen before. Here are the Front Panel Connectors coming from the case: HDD LED Power LED (One Positive, One Negative) LED SW There is no Reset cable (which is fine, because there is no Reset Button on the Front Panel). Main Problem: There is no Power Switch cable for the Front Panel. PC Behavior: I plugged in the HDD LED and POWER LED cables in their normal positions, and left the LED SW cable disconnected. When pressing the Power Button on the Front Panel, nothing happens. I used a screwdriver to jump the Power Switch pins on the motherboard, and the system turns on normally. When the system is powered-on, the Power Button on the Apevia Destiny actually changes the color of the Fan Lights. Very strange, and I have never seen this before. I just want to be able to plug everything in, and run the system normally. My plan: I was going to plug-in the Power LED cables into the POWER SWITCH pins on the motherboard, and then plug-in the LED SW cable (from the case) into the POWER LED pins on the motherboard. Are there any obvious mistakes here? Would this damage the motherboard (if so, why)?
