PHANTEKS EVOLV X & P600S

@Purdy are you using speed/voltage reducers on them?

if so you should try without as they might not be getting enough voltage each

also AFAIK the header will only read one pwm signal, which is from the white header on the hub so that would be your rear fan and the rest wont show rpm

and are you using power from the psu or just plugging them into the mobo fan header? as you may need to do both

No I've never even heard of speed/voltage reducers before I had this issue :p

You're right on that point but it should surely show as Cha_Fan_2 then which it isn't in windows

I have the sata cable from PSU powering the fan hub.

Try switching to pwm mode in the bios. DC mode made my fans run at 100% on my previous fan hub.

Oh so your fan case fans are running same as your cpu fans? I did try that also but ended up maxing out at 500RPM which seemed bad. Want to keep case and cpu fans at seperate rpms.
 
My speed control comes solely from my cpu fan header. My system has an open loop so it makes no difference if I run all fans at the same speed. If you wanted to run your fans at different speeds you need to run two circuits as such say, one lot on the hub and another from a mobo header with another hub/splitter cable.
 
The speed/voltage reducer is an extra wire that your fan plugs into and then that plugs into the header, but can often be mistaken for an extender

anyway, did you check what @Dumphole said about the pwm mode in the bios for your case fans? (they would be seperate from your cpu fans)
 
Yeah I can see them in bios and they will operate in bios during Q Fan Control calibration (which puts them to DC operation?) and I’ve set them to PWM/DC/Left as auto and can get them to do something whilst in bios. (Although seems to stop on PWM at times).

I’ll try get a few clear photos of bios when I’m on

However, it seems to be as soon as I reach windows they don’t operate at all.
 
I’ve had the same 100% fan speed problem before when using a (Phanteks) hub. Once was due to being in DC mode and the other was the hub being plugged into the CPU_OPT header. Always have a fan plugged into the hubs white fan header.
 
hmm only other thing i can think of then would be software that is causing it, since they stop once windows boots

could try booting into safe mode and see if they work
 
Finally finished, not as nice looking as the custom wc builds but temps are stupid cool and looks clean(ish) so happy with the case.

My only complaints (personnel preferance) are the sliders to hide the cables going to the back of the case ... there quite useless once a few cables have been slotted through, would be better if there was more spacing between the sliders and mobo tray so the sliders covered the cables (if this makes sense)

Also could have done with a few anchor points in the PSU comparment.

Nice build:)
Yeh not to keen on the cable cover's,if there was a bigger gap as the cables do get in the way,also I've had to buy a more flexible USB 3.0 extension as the stock cable is to thick and leaves quite a gap.
The videocad cover slot does not lock that we'll and won't stay in position if you try to make the gap as tight as possible,but these are just small things I'm sure cold zero may come up with some custom panels in the future.
 
Those lights are hypnotising and I don't want to switch them off :D the effect is really impressive, nice saturation, smooth, implementation in the case,etc

Cable cover for 24pin is bad, really difficult to organise them.
 
I still need to tweak a few bits, but overall I'm happy. The front panel that the fans screw into is a bit flimsy though!

Idle temps seem a little higher than what they were in my AF edition. Idle has gone up from about 31C to 36/37C. And under load, it seems to get hotter quicker. Hmm.

Edit: Temps seems to have settled down a bit.

DC mode it seems to 'work' until I get to windows, PWM no such luck. (Auto works but I assume is autoing to DC?)

Perhaps but I've tried all my fans individually now into the same headers and they are working so I'm inclined to think it is an issue with the hub. I'll just order a 3 way splitter for my front facing fans, bit disappointing given the price though.
 
I've got a tech guy from phantek he emailed me as he must have seen this thread so I'll take some pics of how I've got it wired up and send them off to him,will keep you updated on how it goes.

Cheers :)

Might as well share my case also, bit of a pain with some of the cables but still the best I've managed. (The gap at my PSU and bottom fan kinda sucks :()
