Fractal Design Define R6

So from the all the recent announcements, for me R6 full white is still in the lead (I've got time though as waiting for Zen+, so this would be good opportunity to update custom loop in a new case).
 
Guys,

Im very interested in the R6 but do those of you with them already know if i will be able to fit the following EK MLC Predator AIO style rads with the pump/res on the rad?

I was thinking 280 on top and 360 on front

280:
335 x 142 x 68mm (L x W x H)

360:
415 x 133 x 68mm (L x W x H)

I think Jayz2Cents did a YT vid and talks about custom water in this... check it out or one of the others.. I'm sure they covered it but didnt pay attention - sorry!... Give me a shout when you find you have spare HDD trays.. Fractal store isnt selling them :-(
 
is the reset button on this really recessed in deep in the hole on anybody's case ? I can only push it in with something thin!

Does look rather low. I'll remember to check mine before building.

Can anyone confirm that if the 5.25 bay is used for a DVD drive then I'll be restricted to 280+280 radiators (top and front)? No biggy, I just have a 360+240 atm so would need to change the 360.

thanks
 
anyone know if the fan hub is 4 pin pwm 12v and just changes the rpm of the 4 pin fans connected with a pwm signal? and does it change the 3 pin fans by voltage according to the 4 pin pwm signal connected to the mobo?
i cant work it out lol
 
This is from fractal design support

Yes, it's posssible to use y cable on the PWM headers. You can connect plenty of fans as they get power from the SATA power (and the motherboard).
This does however not apply on the 3-pin fans.

(4 pin pwm) Yes, they get 12v but they are regulated by the motherboard PWM signal.


I'm not sure if the fan hub controls the voltage of the 3 pins by the pwm, you will have to see. I'm going to use the Corsair ml140 on the 4 pins with pwm and y cables :)

Edit. Yes the 3 pins are voltage regulated by the pwm signal so fractal design say and also best to use the same fans if you are doing it
