Hi I have a couple of questions regarding my case:
Firstly has anyone modded the Blue LED strip that runs across the top and front panels?
I've seen one guide online that recommends an LED strip 6mm wide or narrower but in the whole of the UK I cannot find any online retailers that sell anything smaller than 10 or 8mm.
I've gone for a red/black theme so looking to swap the blue LED to red.
Also, I swapped the stock fans to Red thermaltake Riing 14 fans purely for aesthetics and I'm using Riing 12's on my H100i GTX but I think they're a bit loud coming from SP120 QE in the past.
My question is, can these 3-pin fans be controlled or slowed down like pwm fan or will I need to change the fans completely?
Cheers in advance.
 
For some reason the built-in phanteks fan hub has never worked for me since day one so I connected the case fans to the mobo & radiator fans on the Y-splitter cable that came with the H100i GTX.
Might need yo look into the NZXT fan hub as mentioned above.
Cheers
 
The LED strip might be a 3528 or a 3020 package so search for something that features those. I've seen narrow as 4mm but in white.

If you can't find a premade strip then you could always buy the SMD LED packages separately and solder them on to the tape yourself. Note you may have to change the resistor built onto the tape as well to compensate for blue vs red forward voltage differences. This mod isn't too tricky, I've done it a few times from red to orange and in much smaller 1206 packages.
 
The fan hubs are poor tbh, I ended up using an akasa fan controller I had spare as I have 9 case fans to deal with. CPU fans on PWM headers.
