Dice, how are you running all your fans mate? I'm going for a similar sort of setup, 3 AF120's in the front, 1 AF140 for the rear exhaust, and 4 SP120's in push pull on a H105 rad, just unsure about how to power them all.

I'm using a Bitfenix 3 way fan splitter, Just plugs into one of the mobo fan headers

The CPU fan though I'm only using a single braided cable for the H100i, The rest are all 3 way splitters like the cable below.

They also do Molex > 3 x 3pin adaptor at 12v, 7v or 5v in all the colours of the rainbow

Indeed they do but that means plugging in more molex cables to the PSU which for me looks messy.

Speaking of which I'm planning a mod for it, A full length PSU cover/shroud and an SSD drive bay cover, Also Covering up the USB and front audio ports, I've never used either since I was roughly 13 years old so neatly covering them up is also on the cards

Should be done in the next month

Haha thanks ^_^

Replaced all fans with AF White LED's, 3 x AF whites on top, 3 x AF whites in the front, 1 x AF white 140mm in the back and 2 x non LED SP Performance editions pushing through the H100i, Much better temps compared to having the LED SP's on there.



Is there that much of a difference between the LED and non LED SP 120's ? I'm running a pair in push on my Monsta 240 in the front of my Luxe, and there is air coming through but not a whole lot, I was thinking of swapping them out.

The LED SP's have a static pressure of 1.46 mmH20 and Speed of 1650 RPM.

The non LED SP's with the interchangeable coloured rings have a static pressure of 3.1 mmH20 and speed of 2350 RPM.

Personally I'd only use LED fans for airflow scenarios like intake and outtake i.e non critical components or only use them on radiators if you're water cooling but with the corsair AIO's the full speed SP's are preferable.
