Obsidian 1000D + 8 x 120 Front Fans

[Counteragent77]

Hi Guys,

 

Just seeking some tips / advice on hooking up the 8 x 120 front case fans.

 

I've purchased all Corsair ML fans for the case.

 

When you installed the fans and allowed for cable management did you allow enough slack in all cables so you could open the fan tray up / pull outwards?

 

Cheers

Hi bud.. I did.. but that all coms to end end once rads are on there lol..

Zotty did you go as far as cable sleeving all the ML Fan cables?

 

Little disappointed considering the COST of the ML Fan packs they did not come custom sleeved already.

 

I'll be pulling out my rolls of MDPC-X n going crazy I think.

Some guidance on voiding your fans' warranty:

It looks like the fan hubs would be in the way if I mounted them on one of the front radiators. So I'm thinking of mounting the fan hubs in the case rear (the compartment behind the french doors) using velcro or some other way so I can detach the fan hubs so I can pull the front radiator fan tray out. I can pull out one cable on each fan splitter and detach the fan splitters from the case. I also plan on using soft tube with enough slack in the soft tubes to be able to slide the front radiator tray out. I don't know if it will work as I haven't done it yet.

I have my hubs in the rear also.. had hoped to mount the Hubs behind the rads.. no enough room.. theRe is a space under the hdd caddy also.....

 

No didn't use ml fans.. used LL'S my self.
