Phanteks G500A - loud!!

[MeatLoaf]

Last year i changed to a G500A case. Its got 3 of the supplied RGB fans in the from, one at the back and 2 on the H100X cooler. All are Phankeks.( M25? )

Im sure they are all running at full pelt and are very noisy.

Please help me quiten them off

How are they powered? I downloaded the manual and I couldn't tell.

The rear one and the ones on the H100X are on normal fan headers.

The 3 that were preinstalled in the case are on an RGB header on the mobo and i think they are also connected to a normal fan header for power?

On the motherboard? They might be controllable via the motherboard's BIOS, if you set up a custom fan curve.

Ah, then I assume the case doesn't have an internal fan hub? Is this 3 pin or 4 pin PWM?

Possibly, theres a button on the top to change the lighting colour and light patterns. Looking at the manual its all powered by a sata connector.

From what I can see in reviews, the fans are standard 3 pin and there's no hub included, so it looks like you have to use the motherboard to control them or buy one yourself. It was noted in reviews that they're quite loud by default.

Ive had a quick look on youtube on how to use the Q fan thing in the bios.

So ive managed to set a fan curve on them. The CPU one was on 100% by default - no wonder it was so noisy.
