managed to install a full row in the bottom of the pc-o11....damn!

I will say- unlike most fans were you put the orientation of the fan to best suit your cabling needs, with these you can tuck the cable in like with fans. you've got to have the cables facing outwards and not against each other - a small minor thing but I think having a 240/280/360/420 one piece version with one cable would be a great evolution of the product!

Looks really good, what is lighting the backside of the case?

I have phantek strips in the PSU chamber side - since the case is to open in the main chamber- led strips would be very visible

Looks really good.

If I got the following:

Motherboard: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-69v-as.html

Ram: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...al-channel-kit-rgb-white-tf2d4-my-08n-tg.html

Would they all work in tune with the strips and halos?

Turns out it wont work on the Hue+. the Halos runs off 12v and the HUE+ is 5v.

The search continues

thats a shame, thats for the update, back to the drawing board. kind of liked the idea of running through cam to as using the grid v2 anyway.

Yup can confirm. I have an Asus mobo, that exact RAM, a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe (with RGB lighting on the actual case) and a Phanteks RGB strip inside and they all sync up perfectly with Asus Aura.

Only downside is the Phanteks LEDs on the case/RGB strip miss some colours for example if I set to "Colour Cycle" in Aura i.e. all the RGBs cycle through the colours slowly there are some colours like pink/purple that the Phanteks LEDs just dont do so are slightly off sync.

For people that dont have a RGB mobo

You will need a coolermaster rgb controller:

Phanteks adapter:

cheers for the update, i presume its one phanteks adapter for halo is that correct? edit: nevermind i found the answer, seems you can daisy chain them

The controller has 4 channels.

The Actual Phanteks halos has a splitter on the cable, so you can daisy chain more.

I have ordered another 3 halos to run on my 480 rad. Should get them on monday, so if you can wait til then i can report back on the daisy chain thing

If you want to run more channels then you will need the adapter for each one.

What sort of GPU temps do you get with those fans all pointing into the GPU fans?

Quite low, it's been past onto my friend, but they were low enough they did that annoying fan revving hmrhing with zotac cards, set a custom fan in the end , but set it fans barely spinning at all , just a flat line fan curve due to the fans at the bottom . The amount of air they provide us insane. Why I love cases like this and Jonsbo UMX4 for fans right by GPU. Think I could get away with removing the stock fans in the card and just leaving the heatsink. Would run a bit work but card never dropped under 2ghz boost when looking FireStrike for 2 hours

@ChugNorris Any chance they'll release these frames in white? Or would they be easy to paint?

Want something to light up my white Vardar radiator fans.

ChugNorris · 8 Jan 2018 at 12:07

@ACE01 They are releasing them in Gunmetal Grey, no plans for White as of yet though unfortunately.

orbitalwalsh · 15 Jan 2018 at 05:31

Thought I'd splash this with better quality pics the. The Lian Li build above , specially for cases that come with darker or almost black tinted glass!

^^^bequiet glass is almost black and makes it highly reflective
