Apologies for the thread revival,
About to buy one of these riser cables myself, what size is best suited from peoples experience? the 200 or 300mm

As long as you don't have some crazy motherboard orientation, 200mm should be more than enough

Nope all standard MATX so should be good. Appreciate the helpAs long as you don't have some crazy motherboard orientation, 200mm should be more than enough

Any views on the fan noise from the RGB version?
They aren't the worlds best fans, but they are good enough for the price point and as they are PWM you can at least set a custom fan curve.

Got one of the ARGB Citadel Mesh cases for one of my Kids for Christmas, and have to say very impressed for the money.
@ChugNorris - Don't suppose Kolink offer any adapter cables to convert between the ARGB mini connectors on their controller and normal 3 pin ARGB cables?
If not, I don't suppose anyone knows what the connectors are called:

Not sure but that's something I will look into.

Appreciate that as I bought a Kolink ARGB strip from yourselves to go with the case, but didn't realise the controller didn't have standard headers

@ChugNorris
In case anyone else stumbles across this - the connectors are JST-PH 3 pin connectors.
I used a ready crimped assembly from here:
https://thepihut.com/products/jst-ph-jumper-assembly-3-wire
Cut the end of an ARGB extension lead, and then solder the corrected wires together and then heat shrinked.
End result, a standard ARGB header that you can then daisy chain normal devices off (I tested with a Kolink ARGB strip and a Rajintek 92mm ARGB fan)

I've actually enquired and will be able to bring in some convertor cables for these to allow for 3-Pin ARGB devices. Should arrive later this year.

Thanks @ChugNorris will certainly help those who aren't as confident with a soldering iron or impatient as me 
Can anyone help me with something please?
I've just ordered this case along with a new system. Im planning on cooling the CPU with a 240mm AIO but its just dawned on me the roof looks a little tight for space. I can always just use the front of the case if push comes to shove.
Anyone got any experience with top mounting a 240mm AIO in these cases?
Much appreciated.

Hey
You will be fine, I have been using a 240mm Coolermaster in the roof of mine for the last year or 2. its much wider than it looks and there was plenty of space length and width wise for the cooler with 2x full height 120mm fans on it.
If you want any photos of my setup for a bit more clarity, just shout

Nice little case. When did case proces suddenly go so high. I know its a while ago but prices seem a lot steaper then when I brought my cm scout case.
