Yeah I went for a cheaper option. Purchased a set of 3M ear plugs, well about 20 I think for something like £3 and they work brilliantly at absorbing vibrations. Also you can cut them to size etc :D

I misread this and thought you bought the ear plugs to stick in your ears, so you couldn't hear the rattle :D

Good to hear you got your parts finally.
 
Lol, that's what I thought too tbh.

On mine the hdd led has failed as well, also the blue led strip refuses to work sometimes. Not that I'm worried though tbh. Not that keen on blue. Prefer to have a red strip.

Lol that is funny! I guess the ear plugs could come in handy for that, but seriously if you need good noise absorbing foam, ear plugs are the way forward!

The HDD LED has probably failed because the two wires going to it are very poorly soldered and its likely one has just broken off. Have a look at it, use a little electric tape and you should be able to fix it. If you take the front of the case off then pop off the panel with the USB ports on it, you get fairly decent access to the front panel where the HDD light is located.
 
Was looking at getting the enthoo luxe for my next build, but I am just about to drop some money on a 240 Monstaa 80 and a 320 Monstaa 80. Now I understand that the probability to fit those rads into the Luxe is non-existent without modding it, so I am gonna look at the the Primo. Can anybody clarify that I can def get those in with just a push config? I am not too worried about push/pull, as it is only going to be cooling the parts in my sig. For sure I know this is overkill for my needs, but it suits my ideal for silence. Any help greatly appreciated.

How do I control the fan hub? Via a controller or software? Noob question I know :p

Assuming your motherboard has true PWM with a control signal on pin 4 of CPU fan header, plug the fan plug lead from hub to CPU fan header, control fan (for rpm reading) to header 1 on fan hub, and Sata / Molex to PSU. Then use motherboard software to set low heat to rpm nd high heat to rpm. All things right your fans will idle about 800rpm and speed up as CPU load / heat increases.
 
ive recieved my new fan hub from Phanteks but Im off to Greece on Sunday so will get it installed when I get back As I want to test running 11 fans from it 6 for the radiator and 5 case fans,

I'll have to check :) cheers mate :)
 
Anybody know if a 480mm60mm alphacool radiator will fit up top with fans pushing air through the radiator out the top of the case in conjuction with my z97 asrock extreme 6 motherboard? I dont know if the vrm heatsink will interfere
 
Mine is getting a gut out soon in an effort to improve airflow. Gonna run all my case fans, (9 in total) via a fan controller. Not enough mobo headers and gonna use some Silverstone air penetrator fans for intake directed at the gpu's. Also bought a rad grill to use on the front, doesn't fit though so gonna have to import an mnpc tech grill from the usa.
 
I need to do the same if i want to use the res bracket. My older wf 780 is 11.5" long vs 10.5" on the newer rev 2. The latter will fit without modding the bracket. Case looks so much better with it fitted imo.
