hi guys ive brought a nzxt grid not the grid+ and it has a molex connector for power. Now as this is 12volt my fans run flat out all nine of them. Its not terribly loud as they are noiseblocker Blacksilent pro pl2 is there any way i could slow them down without using fan reducer cables as i dont really want to add more cables.But if need to i will.Also i have NO optical bays so a fan controller is out of the Question. thanks
 
erm no lol never heard of it and ive already brought the nzxt grid and installed it but if you could send a link i could have a look at one



edit: From what i just looked at they only do single fans and if im honest they dont look very pretty lol

just a suggestion but ive heard you can rewire or repin your molex to run at 7 volts is this even safe
You can easy switch a 12v molex to 7v by swapping 2 of the pins, but, the grid requires 12v to run so by delivering 7v to it, it won't even run.

You can however use NZXT CAM 2.0 to adjust your fans speeds.
 
Thanks for the answer wraith :D I thought that programme was for the grid + buddy

P.S congrats on your win for one of the fractals buddy

Quite correct, good point it only controls with the Grid+.
The only option I can see then is to use reducer cables.
 
No Idea dude, but I'll be waiting to jump the postie and I'll get my build log started later tonight or tomorrow.
 
no i got a grid+ instead :D

Mount it somewhere you really want it. i stuck mine in the empty 5.25" of my case thinking it was nice and out of the way.
I destroy my knuckles on some of the metal cut outs every time i try to reach in there to tinker with the fans i have plugged in.

Reaching in there to unplug everything is going to be the most painful part of moving to a new case. (results may very with smaller hands)
