securitybreach Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Well I recently bought a NZXT Source 210 Elite case: 5.25” and 3.5” Screwless Design – Allows easy setup or removal of optical and hard drives. USB 3.0 – Provides the most up to date high speed data transfer. 2 x 120/140mm fan (1x140mm included)– Maximizes cooling potential. Bottom Mounted PSU – Positioned for the most effective PSU ventilation Wire Management Support – 20mm space for a neat and easy build Aluminum Textured Panel – Accents the chassis for a clean, modern look and feel Dual 120mm Front Intake – Takes advantage of front facing HDD bays for excellent airflow Maximum Cooling Potential – Eliminate heat by installing up to seven 120mm fans http://www.nzxt.com/...ource_210_elite This is the first case I have owned that has cable management so I manged to hide most all of the cables. The only issue is the new fans I bought do not have long cables so I need an adapter of sorts (maybe to molex). Anyway, here are some pics of my new build: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Spiffy! Oh, and I deleted your triplicate postings. I guess you were having connectivity issues when you posted this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yes I was, thanks. BTW I found two 3 pin to molex adapters so I have 6 out of 7 fans running now. I just need one more cable..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hello, Have you looked into getting some 3-pin fan extension cables? This will allow you to plug them directly into the motherboard, so you can get tach signals from them. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Yeah but I only have 4 fan connectors (including cpu fan) on my motherboard but I have plenty of molex connectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Well I think I am going to buy this fan controller from Nzxt for my case: NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels Its only $25 and it looks like a great product (going by video reviews and such). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 For some reason, it wouldn't go to that link, so I used the product ID and went to Newegg and got this link: NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels - Newegg.com Nice controller for up to 5 fans.

amenditman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Yeah but I only have 4 fan connectors (including cpu fan) on my motherboard but I have plenty of molex connectors. There are 3 pin fan connectors with a Y configuration. You can use them to hook up 2 fans to the same mobo control point.

securitybreach Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well I ordered the Fan Controller and it will be here Friday (2 days away). http://www.amazon.co...ils_o00_s00_i00 I ended up ordering FC via Amazon since they gave me another 2 week trial of Prime (free 2 day shipping).

amenditman Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I see you have all of them maxed. How long 'til lift off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I see you have all of them maxed. How long 'til lift off? That was the whole point of getting a fan control, I wanted them running a full speed. I can drop them down if I am not doing very much but you know me, I am usually quite busy.... Thanks Sean If I turn them all down, my computer is pretty much completely silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Also, I do not know why my camera showed the case and fan controller lights as being blue. They both have a white light so I think maybe the flash caused that or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
