Corsair 650D

Slipperz · 11 Jan 2012 at 15:24

Just got all my bits for my new build, there's a small packet of rubber grommets in the 650D.

What are these for? Are they fore fans or something, surely not for the motherboard standoffs?

Any help would be great!

Yes, they are fan grommets mate. Good ones at that, help to reduce the noise a bit.

Hi does anyone know where to connect the 4 cables that go to the fan controller? I'm stumped!

cheers

4 cables? there should be one passthrough molex connector (so you can connect it to a molex then still connect it to something else) then 3 fan connectors!

For the dual 200mm fans. You should have also got a kit for the front 200mm

Assuming you haven't added/changed any fans, then plug each of the 200mm fans into the fan connectors. You should have 1-2 connectors left spare after for other fans if you choose to add some.

Or you can ignore the case fan controller and plug the fans into your mobo headers (if you have fan control through your mobo/bios). I removed the fan controller entirely from my 650d to cut down on the number of wires and my mobo does fan control much better anyway. Just a thought.

^ True story, sometimes a better alternative if you're not even planning on using 4 fans.

Used 3 of the 4 connectors straight onto the fans themselves, how stupid do I feel now!! The spare one will be for an additional fan somewhere I guess

I didn't receive a kit, what should I have got?

All sorted now I've got all the fans connected up to the controller
