see this Zotty,

 

If i want this in a 1000D case what will i need exactly? i realize i will have to speak to Devbiker for some cable extensions of some sort and i need a Y splitter for the front fans if i am looking at correct.

 

are all the fan LL RGB 120 so the 8 front, 3 up top and 2 at the rear? if so which way is the cheapest way to buy them (combo wise i.e. so many 3 packs, some singles etc?.)

 

Regards,

Tommy.

 

P.S. Dev if your reading this can you give me a DM of the cost for the cable etc, thanks

hey Stan :)... did you open a support ticket about the missing tray?

 

and same.. yet to see the 120mm tray in stock my self....

 

Seriously, does anyone know how to get a hold of one of the 120mm trays? I bought this case expecting to be able to use 8x120mm top and front, but now can't find one for the top...I'd even take a 6x140mm...?

Hey Zotty,

 

I had a question about the setup for the fans in the case, and also a question about the difference in two fans.

 

1. Which fans are intake and exhaust? you have 8 120 LL in the front, and 3 140 LL on the top? 2 120 LL on the back? Trying to figure that out.

 

2. What is the difference between ML and LL. I am having such a hard time figuring this out, any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

1) The front LLs are intake. The rest are exhaust.

 

2) The ML fans use a different bearing (magnetic levitation). They are super-quiet as there is no bearing friction. This also means that they should last darn near forever. They are designed to be great radiator fans. The LL fans are lower speed and have hydraulic bearings. While quite good, they aren't quite as good as the magnetic levitation. They are designed more as general purpose/hybrid fans. They'd do fine on a radiator but not quite as good as the MLs. TBH, in most use cases, you won't know the difference. The LL fans do have 16 LEDs as opposed to only 4 for the MLs but the LLs shine more to the front; the MLs LEDs have the same effect front or back.

So are the rear fans also 120 LL? At the top of the case is it 3 140's LL, then Radiator, then two 140 ML's underneath?

Remove the 2 screws.

replace the horizontal PCiE bracket with the above supplied Vertical mount.

now due to access to the screws when mounting the GPU my advice would be fit the bracket to your card first..

 

I will be using the Cooler Master Riser Cable my self

I got mine for around £20 from a Reputable UK online store...

 

more to come on this

Is it possible that I didn’t recieve the vertical gpu mount the one I got in my box is the exact same as the one installed there’s no way to mount it vertically can’t get a hold of Corsair today either because it’s a weekend.

Yea I thought the same thing but they are both the exact same they don’t look any different at all tabs are in the same location it’s basically just the same piece and I don’t know exactly how to go about getting them to send me a new one. I would post a pic but can’t do it from my cell and I’m not at home but I will try again
