It's an honour and a privilege 
Check the cable connector pins haven't been bent, mine took a little force to get in at first
They appear to be aligned correctly (to the naked eye) which is super frustrating. I'll give it another go when I get home from work. To me, it looks like the cable plug, hasn't got sufficient clearance for the pins to push through, I'll see if I can take some pictures to compare with others...

Nice build! What thickness rads are they? Push Pull?
What's the issue with the fan hub? Works well on mine.

Wish the matx version had that hole in the lower cover to allow routing of cables if needed.
That 1500w psu is massive.

45MM Rads on Push, never found any gain with push pull worth the extra.
Fan Hub dunno fans don't power up even with one fan hooked up, fan powers up fine from the header but not via the hub.
I've tended to use big PSU's for years
they just tick over no strain, fan does not even power up except at boot on self test.

You did plug in the power didn't you
What are your temps like on that setup man?
Yes had power in but it won't even show in Bios as fan connected, plug a single fan into CPU Header it works fine, I've ordered another PWM Controller see if that works.
Temps...
only have 3 fans running at the moment, about 35 on CPU 27 on GPU's Idle.Rustyone added you to RoH
My case arrived my wife says, in a cruel joke she told me she sent it back because I'm going to be home a week late and she's none to happy about it. Nearly fell for it, but turns out she did accept delivery...phew !

I really love this case, and all the builds look great - but I don't think I can warrant the cost. Might have to go for a cheaper NZXT alternative.

Started building in my black evolv atx. Going to be a couple of days before any pics. Couple of things that maybe of use to people. The black version comes with white PCI slot covers. Great if your doing a theme with white in it. If not, then I would recommend some silverstone aeroslots in matt black https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-187-SV
If your using Noctua fans like I am, or fans with short ish cables, you're going to need fan extension cables. Just to run the cables neatly. Akasa do some braided ones, got some coming tomorrow.

My fan controller seems to have no control over any fans connected and they all run at full speed.
It seems to be a fan splitter with no control as it's not even seen in Bios.
Does anyone have this actually controlling fan speeds via PWM in the bios settings, seems to be it just runs at whatever speed your fan is.
