well i was after a perspex side for my black atx case but couldnt find one so went to a local shop called pimped up cases were they have airbrushed cases etc and picked up a full perspex 2 tone case for 60quid and as it was the one on display that the owner used to have he said i can keep the 5 akasa 80mm fans and the 5 chromegame covers that were on the fans . so well happy will get picks when its done.
hopefully the 5 fans should help cooling alot as there is 1 on top 1 front 1 back and 2 side .
quick question as my new casae has 5 fans on it allready mu mobo can only take 4 and that includes cpu so i only have 3 out of the 5 working can u get adapters to plug two together or not. also the fan on the front has an extra ring round it which is eant to light up im not sure where this plugs into on the mobo . any one enlighten me on this thanks.
You also might consider getting a fanbus. You’d be able to control the fan speed from a panel on the front of your case. A second option would be to run the fans straight from the power supply. The fan headers on a motherboard aren’t designed to run a ton of fans off them, so too much drain on them can blow those headers. Needless to say, it’s strongly recommended that you not run any fans over 80mm off the headers. Also, if they’re high CFM fans (like the Vantec Tornado), you’re also better off running them straight off the power supply.
iv only got 2 out of the 5 running from mobo i got 3 runing off a silver stone panel . the panel comes with a hdd,cpu,sys fan wires for controlling there speed so i just pluged them into that. is that ok.
