Hey hello i find this post on some other forum. So i'm wondering is this true. Can anybody who has tthis case verify that. Can you turn of the LED lights and do the fans then work ??
"hi...I have this chase and it's cool..but there si one problem
if we take side 250mm fan as a example...you have two cables...one is molex and the other one is 3pin connector...if you connect only 3pin connector to tke 5/7/12V your computer will NOT start and if you connect only molex connectors LED will shine and fan will just stand still...
what I'm trying to say...it is not posible to turn off the LED..and that is a problem..
maybe somebody know the way to turn off this LED....?"
Another thing is what i'm wondering is there any chance to find out how powerful are this two 25cm fans. Does anyone know what these are rated for? Will there be able to push much air out. Are there any test on the net. Does anybody know ?
And the last thing i won't to know is how loud are the fans ? Is there any video on the net with this case running so you can hear how load are the fans?
Thanks
Yes, I can confirm that. I accidentally left the front fan's LED unplugged and when I tried to turn it on, not only did it short out and turn back off, it fried something on my mobo. I didn't think the unplugged cord had anything to do with it, but now that I read another account of that happening, I don't think it's a coincidence.
My case was probably just a fluke, but yes, I can confirm that leaving the LED unplugged causes problems, 'cause after my mobo fried, I checked all my cords; everything was plugged in correctly except the front fan's LED. I plugged it back in, and whala, it stayed on, nothing burned, fans were working, etc. Although, I now couldn't get any video.
Although, I'm positive that as long as you leave
everything plugged in, you should have no problems.
Another problem with this case, though, is that--for me at least--the first time I turned on the computer, the front fan's guard was stopping the fan from moving. It was scraping along the edges of the inside of the guard. And now, as a result, all my fan's blades' tips are scratched, and some have fragments chipped off--although, that is partly my fault for taking too long to turn it off. They're not noticeable unless you really look at them, though, so it's no big deal. It's a fairly easy fix, though; I just unscrewed the fan, took out the guard, put the fan back in. And, if you wish, you can bend the edges all the way down and stick the guard in the front. It'll stay there like that, but it'll be loose, so if you want it to be firmly on there, you'll need to attach it with something.
All this said, I think it's a fairly decent case.
Lots of airflow, plenty of room to work with, and I love the tool-less design. However, if you're not willing to do some minor modding, or have the front LED on, I'd suggest a different case.
