[BitFenix] Support and Discussion Thread!

A couple of people, including me.


We're running a pilot project with OC3D right now. One thing for certain is that the cables WON'T be selling separately. I just can't see 400 SKU's being released, and suppliers having to purchase in bulk. More likely in sets.

Yeah, I was aware of the OC3D Project. I'm not sure how worth it it'll be. All depends on Corsair's own cables - although it does seem the BitFenix ones are slightly better.... Also, the Corsair range is a bit limited in colours annoyingly..

Do you mean that basically they won't be coming to a supplier unless there is mass demand for them?

Once TTL gets them back, and he shows them off, we'll see how you guy's reactions are, and we'll make a decision from there.
Some people are saying "I won't buy the set. I only need, say a 24pin"
Well, Lets calculate...
A typical power supply has:
24-pin ATX Motherboard
4-pin ATX12V Motherboard
8-pin EPS12V Motherboard
8-pin PCI-E
Serial ATA
4-pin LP4 Peripheral Device

~6 types of power cords
~4 basic colors (red blue white black)
~minimal 20 different power supplies on the market
6x4x15 = 360 different SKU's one for each cable. Can a retailer afford to purchase them all, and in multiple quantities? yes. but chances of selling them all, slim.
A full set minimizes the chances of unsold products, if you know what I mean.

Loving your products. Currently have 4 or your new fans waiting to cool my rig.

But can I suggest an idea for your fan controller? Is a desktop version possible - like me and i am sure some others their pc will not.be directly beside them and also may have a cover hiding their front bays

A very similar design to your existing controller with a slightly larger screen to sit in front of you on your desk would be a winner for me. Use a PCI slot to run all the fans too and have the screen connected to that.

Please.make it happen :D I really need.one

Does this part of the video not make it more interesting?
 
A little.... But it seems such a shame to pack such lovely gadgetry away behind a panel to.only.be controlled by a desktop program :(

Maybe if the program reflected the actual looks of the device itself then maybe - but even still i dunno if i would be tempted. Need something physical out there on the desk.

I can.only think of one company so far that allows you to do this and I'm being put.off by reviews and the colours used in its display.
 
When these came out, my first reactions were, "Why the heck would I need this? Waste of my desk space, and if I needed to control my fan, I would just reach over, flip a switch from 12V to 7V, and be done in 3 seconds"
For the price of purchasing these external fan controllers, you could purchase a new case without a front panel door...
Now, if it was a lamp stand, a digital frame, an alarm clock, a network media player, runs on android, and a fan controller all in one, i'm sold. :)
Edit: might as well incorporate an intercom in there, and the functions to shut off lights in the house. hehe

you know I'd want some orange sets :p

if you guys do make some, will they be for more than just the corsair psu's?
 
Can you say anything about what PSU's are being considered? I would definitely be interested as I am currently thinking of going for the extensions but these would be so much better.

I'm pretty sure Corsair's are being considered, as that's what the Pilot with TTL is doing, although it is AX series, so not sure about any other series, and then I'm not sure on other brands...

The only PSU that is being considered at the moment, would be sample model that we're doing for TTL. And even then, we just want an opinion on that project once it's finished. Again, nothing is set in stone.
 
Hi

So when are the Shinobi XL's due in the UK?
I spoke to a supplier today and they've been told to put the date back to the middle of March.

Thanks
