  1. OK, guess I'll have to keep all the boxes then. Thank you for your answe!
  2. Hei! Sorry to intrude but I would have a question too, if OP doesn't mind. I was using a Corsair Platinum SE AIO and another extra 6x120mm LL fans connected to an RGB hub and to a Co Pro. I recently bought 3x140mm QL fans for bottom intake and rear exhaust because the LL's look ugly when flipped. I feel like I am stacking to many little boxes in my case. I now have the AIO connected to the Co Pro to one of it's USB headers. Also 3x120mm LL fans are connected to an RGB hub and to the Co Pro. The 3x140mm QL's are connected to their node core. All the six fans are powered with the Co Pro. My question is: can I get rid of the RGB fan hub and connect the LL's to the node core too? Because I am having problems with the hardware lightning for example, they don't sync when iCue is not on. From the looks of it, I would say it's not possibl because in iCue, on the Node Core, you can only select an option on the Lightning setup - Lightning channel. I wouldn't be able to tell me there are 3 LL's and 3 QL's connected to it right? And I have to keep both the Node core for the QL's and the RGB fan hub for the LL's?
  3. Let me throw some Rep at you. Kinda upset you only have that much with all the work you do here
  4. How come I never thought of downloading RGB profiles, lol... Thank you very much for your answer! So the Node Core would be enough in a build without the Lightning Node Pro? I'll get some strips for that Lightning Node Pro, sitting there, doing nothing in my system. What a bitch! As I still have a channel to spare on my CoPro guess I could get a 2x140 QL's with a Node Core + 1x140 to complete my build. How come nobody says anything about the PWM control of the CoPro? I mean, it is pretty relative, you have 3 profiles to configure. Quiet, Balanced and Extreme. And even then the fans change their speed as they see fit when the system is under load. I don't really see any control here.
  5. So I've swapped the bottom fans to intake so they now blow air on to my GPU. It seems there is a visible improvement, ranging from 5 to 10 degrees, with the side panel ON. Did not test without the side panel yet. I am considering to buy 3 QL's now...
  6. Thanks for all the hard work in the original post! I am although unsure of some stuff. 1st question: whats the difference between the RGB Fan LED Hub and the Lighting Node Core? As I understand the QL's can work with the RGB Fan LED Hub just fine, you dont really need a Node Core. 2nd question: I own a lot of Corsair fans, from HD's, ML's to LL's. I quit using the HD's and currently running mostly LL's. In my system I currently have 6 LL's fans connected to an RGB fan LED Hub and to a Commander PRO. I think that the Lightning Node Pro that was included just sits there doing nothing at the moment (3rd question: might as well use it with some lightning strips? what else could I use it for?). My question is, as I want to replace 3 of the LL's with QL's for bottom intake and rear exhaust. Do I really need to buy a pack and get a Lightning Node Core? Or could I simply just use the 3 ports left available in the RGB Fan LED Hub? Oh man, with all the explanations that I've read this is still all very confusing as every time I have to look at a picture with RGB LED Hub, Lightning Node Core and Lightning Node Pro to know what I am talking about...
  7. Thank you for the link, will check it out! I took a peak. So they have clear top and front windows. What about the side panel? It means I would have the tinted side panel and the clear front and top. The hex ones are interesting, but pretty expensive when compared with the overall price of the case. And I like GLASS, not PLEXIGLASS. Appreciate it though! Yeah, I know there is just little work to do, will probably give it a try. If I dont like the looks of it I guess I will get 3x white QL's 140mm for bottom and rear. Hope I'll be able to use them together with the Commander Pro and the 3x LL's in the front. Regarding the top glass... I initially used the smaller rubber rings so it would be closer to the top of the case. It looked best. I eventually used the original higher ones. The case would really look like **** without the top, having those screws holders pointing out.
  8. Hi there! I am kinda late to the party as I built this system about a year ago, but there is something bothering me lately and that is the bottom fan placement. I know for sure that it would be best to have my bottom fans on intake to help deliver cold air to my GPU but the lightning would not look as nice. Hell, it would probably bother me too much to see the back frame on the fans instead of the RGB. Also, as I still have my sanity I will not buy the new QL fans which deliver cool lights on both sides, we all know why... My question addresses people with similar builds, and I mean a Corsair 680x case, RTX 2080ti which is a hot GPU and maybe a 9900k OC-ed. Has anyone tested and checked the GPU temperatures under load with bottom fans mounted as intake and as exhaust? If yes, how much of an improvement over GPU temps are fans mounted as intake? I will consider switching my bottom fans from exhaust to intake if there is at least a 5 degrees Celsius improvement over GPU temperatures. Also, in case you have a liquid cooler mounted on top, do you think it would be best to push the hot air out, thus increasing the temperatures on the coolant in the radiator, or would you mount the fans and the radiator into pulling cold air in the case, through the radiator? Oh man, I love those LL white fans and I wish Corsair made some in 140mm too. (problem is the white blades are not so white anymore after a while...) The Corsair 680x bottom and exhaust ports are kinda large for the 120mm and it looks a little bad, but meh. (later edit, I just saw on the official website they now have 140mm white, QL's, which I might consider) So, if anyone is curious, this is how my system looks like. I am a huge fan of Corsair products and I would love to see more reasonable prices on those sweet fans.

Wish I didn't have to!!! Let's face it, it is not exactly the high airflow case as advertised... Nevertheless, I still love the looks of it and how clean you can build inside it, with the dual chamber system. If they ever make some improvements to it and release a white version, I will probably upgrade.
