Posted December 28, 2015 Looking into getting this case. Is there a way to control the fans connected to the fan hub? Cant I connect the hub to a 4-pin connecter on the mobo to control the fans? Or will I need the grid+ v2 or something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic build though, I think I'm gonna paint my red H440 white as well hopefully, it looks sick, just not too sure what will happen if I decide to sell the case.

Posted January 12, 2016 Hi everyone! I'm planning on building a PC and can't decide between NZXT H440 or the Fractal design R5. The opinions about the two are very split and I decided to ask here because I am leaning towards the H440. The rig that I'm planning to build will be meant for running BluRay/HD movies connected to LED TV via HDMI, regular computer work ( MS Office, surfing the web) and a little .NET development. The main aim and goal is for the rig to be silent! I don't play games, and don't do OC. So I don't really need a video card. Reading online, lot of people say the H440 is louder and can be heard over the Fractal R5, but all those rigs include water cooling, or massive ammount of extra fans. I would use standard fans included in the case and MAYBE Grid+ for lowering the fan speed if it would help reduce the noise. So my question is this: Considering the use and components of the PC, will the H440 be silent or should I go for the Fractal R5 that a lot of people say it is quieter? config would be something like this: Intel i5 6400 B150/H170 MB Samsung EVO 250 SSD WD 2TB HDD Seasonic PSU up to 400W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 12, 2016 Author welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums! for your config, the H440 will be fine. as you saw, the "sound" issues are for those mega-fan combos and monster GPU fan layouts and that'll be for any case.

Posted January 13, 2016 Got a quick question. I have this case and I love it, but I've installed my GPU into the bottom slot of my Mobo instead of the top slot (it's an MSI Krait z97s and I wanted to show off the snake since I don't have an SLI setup yet). Will it get noticeably better temps higher up or will it be fine near the bottom of the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 19, 2016 Anyone have an R9 290/X with this case?

Posted January 20, 2016 in the original configuration, no. you'd have to separate the illumination PCB to have happen. Thanks for the reply, so how do I do this? I assume the LED will be somewhere around 3 - 4v and output from my PSU will be 12v. So what do I need to go from say a Molex to the 2 pin LED connector?

Posted January 22, 2016 Hello everyone! A couple weeks back I got a red and black H440 and think it looks quite slick. I moved my components over from an old El Cheapo case build and added a better air cooler for the CPU. With a 1 GHz overclock I am at 39C under load CPU and 65C GPU with stock cooler no OC (MSI GTX 970). THe NZXT product page says the fan controller is a PWM controller. The fans are all 3 pin connectors but there is a 4 pin PWM lead that is going to my mobo. Even though I have the PWM cable going to my mobo I can't seem to change the case fan speeds at all to lower the noise. I have had to add the resistor low noise adapters to every case fan lead. I searched for an hour about and found that the older version of this case can't control fan speed but I am hoping that the newer PWM fan hub can. Any help here would be great! I am leaving for work in about 10 minutes but later tonight I hope to take some pics of my build and share them. For my first build in a proper case I am proud of how clean it came out. I like the case a lot and the quality is excellent for the price paid. Thank you everyone! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 23, 2016 Hello. I'm in the process of completing my build. I was supposed to get the monitor today, but the big snow/ice storm on the East coast prevented it from being delivered today. The SSD I purchased for my old system, but transferred it over to the new build. I'm still looking for a mouse. I may get a NVMe PCI SSD sometime this year. I received the i7-6700K, MSI Z170A Gaming M7, and the Enermax ETS-T40-TB, and some Amazon gift cards to use for other components from family as a Christmas presents. I used the gift cards for the RAM and PSU. This was my first almost complete build since more than 10 years ago. I upgraded from an AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 2.7 Ghz Black Edition, 4 GB of DD2, and Sapphire Amd Radeon HD 6570. I had a difficult time installing the SSD into the front 2.5" plate, so I had to put it in the back. I ordered a straight red NZXT SSD power cable since the PSU onlly comes with 90 degree SSD power cables. I chose the video card since I don't plan on going 4k or 1440. I love the case! I've a few issues with it so far. One of the front panel USB 3.0 ports doesn't work, the power light on top only briefly flashes on, and one of the 120mm front stock fans doesn't work. I'll need to troubleshoot all of these soon. I was contemplating on getting the red and black version of this case for the build, but my sense of taste wanted to have the motherboard stand out rather than have a uniform build. I had a lot of fun putting this together and thankful that I got this opportunity again. Here's the build list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Vd7KWZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 23, 2016 As promised here are a few pictures. This thing is almost completely silent with all 6 low noise adapters in! It's running extremely cool as well.
