Fractal Design Define R6
- Thread starter southernorth
- Start date
does your removable tray that you mount your rads/fans onto have a bit of play in it ? when i mounted my rad to it,It's got play in it ,you can move it up and down slightly.will be changing the fans soon, first the front 2 with the corsair ml140 no led as i didnt want the case with the tempered glass window
here is the open layout with the hard drives on the back. and the aio tubes are not touching the 980ti back plate
if you men the top one yes if you push it but it doesnt move with the fans or anything
The plate itself has play in it where it connects in with the hinge type things even with fans/rads attached to it and with the dust filter on.
right so ive connected all my case fans to the pwm hub. they work fine but when i use the gigabyte fan software and try change it to silent or performance mode nothing happens. I have put plugged it into cpu_opt as i believe my mobo (gigabyte x299 gaming) supports PWM. Maybe i should plug it into another fan connector?
Safe bet is always to try with cpu_fan and go from there. Isn't CPU_opt copying CPU_fan settings? (maybe try changing settings for CPU_fan while connected to CPU_opt, maybe it will work)
Almost set up in My R6, I did not use the Fan Hub, connected all the Fans direct to the Asus Motherboard Fan Headers for full control
Swapped out the Rear Fan With a 140mm 1000rpm & also added another to Roof, Both running on a Fan splitter, Case is Dead Silent, sound insulation Sides really do the Job
Will post a Few Pics once finished

i cant put it in that one as my kraken x62 is using that for the CPU
What fans did you get? I might just do the same thing as i need to make a few adjustments anyway.
I used http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/case-fan/bc-140-blue-led-fan/
Had them in the Draw for some years
Very Good low RPM fans as seen in Test
http://www.dvtests.com/cooler-master-bc-140-red-test-and-review/
I used Lower RPM/Airflow for the Rear & top, don't need High RPMs for exhaust,
Best to have Positive Pressure, more air blow in is Better from Front.
Also, Light up the Rear of the case nice.
Also adding 2 x AKASA RGB 50cm strips to work with the Asus Aura Lighting Control
also the RGB memory Sticks.
May do some Artwork on the Case

I have it connect to a 4 pin case fan header and I have the CPU fan attached to CPU fan header, that way I can control the case fans and the CPU fan seperately. I cannot control the case fans separately though they are all the same speed, I have bequiet 1000rpm exhaust fans x3 and Noctua 1500rpm intake fans x3, I fixed this by using low noise adapters on my front fans, now if I put all fans at 100% the front fans are 1200rpm and the rear fans are 1000rpm so it is ideal, without LNA the front fans are 1500rpm which is too loud. I have case fans controlled by CPU/GPU temp, and CPU fan controlled by CPU temp.

@Darren_uk what gpu is that.
Im Thinking of this case I have a
Gtx1080 Zotac Amp Extreme.
I want to leave the front panel I place like yours.
Hoping the gpu will fit and the power cables won't hinder install.

The more I see this case in action the better it looks, can some owners please rate the cases build quality like motherboard screws lining up nicely without having to bend frame?

motherboard Lined up 100%, the stand-offs 9 of them was already in place on the motherboard tray, Centre standoff is just a peg to easy aline the full ATX motherboard with rest of the holes &
Helps to hold it in place
Motherboard screws black are of a good Quality & had no trouble with my magnetic screwdriver
Quality of case is very good, the sound insulation works well, Top pop out with a button push.
I took the metal frame off the top panel & just having an open grill with dust filter,
Cat loves it, laying on top where some of the heat gets to blow out, Purrfect
