Hi,

Just built my new system from the parts i got from OCUK today. Part of the stuff was a Coolermaster 3Storm case and i bought 2 akasa 120mm side fans for it. Ive built it all up and its soooooooooo fast but the side fans are on full it seems and they are very very loud. I cant put up woth this racket its that loud. Am i doing something wrong?

Were have you got the fans connected?

You may need to invest in a FSC.

I connected them to 2 spare power connectors on the powerpack

You'll need a fan controller.

Or, If you fancy a bit of rewiring you can do the volt mod.

Use the above fan controller in my system

You can install the fans onto the motherboards fan header but you will need to check if you have control over these.

sorry to hijack..................

this may sound stoopid but do fan controllers generally fit onto empty drive bays?
