Fans for my HAF 932 :)

LucasUK91 · 4 Dec 2008 at 22:07

Hello!

New here, and new to pc building

Recently finished my first build, and i used to HAF 932 case. Its all done, so i want to start modding it and making it look good.

When i bought the case i thought it would look like how they advertised on the coolermaster site, like this...

I got the case and it has a nice red fan on the front panel, but a big huge black fan on the side, and another on the top. I want to change it for 4x120mm red fans on the side, and 2x120mm fans on the top. Ive seen a few fans but im worried about getting some fans which look very pale, like pink coloured. Can anyone recommend some really nice, bright red fans at a affordable price?

Also, how would i go about installing them all? At the moment i have 4 fans running from a single cable with 5 molex connectors on it. But with 8 im not sure how i would install them all :confused:

Your best off connecting them to a couple of molex connectors from your PSU, two at most to each.

Alternatively you can connect them to motherboard fan headers if you get 3pin fans.

Akasa do a good solid red fan: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-046-AK

Running perfect for me. I cant really compare it to anything cus this is my first 'good' gaming pc lol...

although i managed to screw it up. I plugged in a fan while the PSU was running, wires went hot and it died...

Had to send it back lol

Oh yeah, thats bad

What did you send back, the PSU or the fan?

Plugging an internal usb connector into the wrong socket on the motherboard gives your computer a nice smoking effect.

The PSU. The fans were fine. I couldnt work out what i did wrong. But i plugged my mobo into my old PSU and it ran fine, so i found out that way lol

Had me worried for ages lol
