which way do the amber case fans go in eclipse

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 14:17

I see 2 arrows on the side of the fans one going uP and the other going from left to right or reverse if you turn it over.

Which way do i put them in the case please?

THANKS

so the front fan fitted the correct way would mean that you cant read the Akasa etc writing on the circle in the middle ie its pointing to the back of the case and the arrows are on the left one pointing to the back of case and the other one above it pointing downwards?

Try using thoose rubber mounting fan mounts instead of screws, they are fantastic!

where do you get them from and what do they look like?
cheers

Ive also taken out 2 metal drive holders, a small one and a bigger one that sat infront of the front fan,the smaller one was hangin down fron the middle of the case,will that help air flow as i dont need them?

thanks

ok mission 1 accomplished lol
well it was really mission 2 cuz mission 1 was getting the bloody sides and front off lol.

ok now where the hell does the power supply go?

hmm it fits at the top back right?

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 14:56

power suppy fan at top or bottom please?

dont tell me .Bottom, right?

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:02

thankyou,I thought it was ,but i have a big problem :mad:

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:05

thankyou,I thought it was ,but i have a big problem :mad:

the fixing holes in the power supply, the 2 bottom ones seem ok but the top ones are infront of boards and stuff, the top left is about an inch in from the left and if i screwed into that i would go right into a circuit board and the right hand side top one which is about 1/2 an inch down from top is also facing some sort ofconnector???????????

wtf is this all about? :confused:

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:10

do you mean a bracket with the case or the powe supply Yewen?

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:15

theres a place to sit the psu on and the holes line up its just those 2 top holes look dangerously near components inside the psu ,the right hand side one is near a black rubber lookin thing? is that normal?
god this is stressfull

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:18

ok ive gently tried screwing in the screws to the psu and they seem to go in ok so i think i will put in in the case now :cool:

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:25

now is it ok to try the power supply? em where do i connect the fans to,one of the leads from the psu?
also do i push all the leads through the oblong cutout just behind the psu?
thanks guys

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 Apr 2006 at 15:31

no I dont have the mobo yet,.

so the leads from the fans dont connect to the psu leads then hmm?

so can I still turn the psu on to see if its working? does the psu fan go round without the mobo?
cheers
