The fan speed can be predicted, it's the same as is was the day before, unless the fan broke during the night. (Except on the CPU fan, which absolutely must be connected to the board, and has nothing to do with the case fans anyway). You just set the BIOS to disable fan speed failure warning. Not it won't disable heat monitoring from the motherboard, (that's something different), but it will disable fan speed monitoring. This case is not loud with all the fans on low and it has plenty of airflow for normal use. There is enough wire to connect all of the case fans together and shove the block into an empty drive bay. The molex type connectors on Antec's fan can be ganged, (They are M/F.

Still if you feel like abusing you equipment, but don't actually want to destroy it, it only takes a minute or so to pop the side off and set them for high. Don't worry low is plenty for anywhere near normal use. Also the speed control is on the fan, (3 speed obviously), and you must open the case to set the speed. They require the same four pin 'Molex' type of socket that is used for a DVD drive or IDE HDD. But I Digress.Īntec's 'Tri Cool' fans don't even have connectors to mate with those of the boards headers. Does anybody really think that there should be nine fan headers on a mobo in the first place? I suppose. That's dependent on which lunatic you ask. !Īnyway, none of the boards have 'enough' fan headers. Well, Did I? Yes, but not in this thread. Did I Mention That My Computer Was Built in an Antec 900.?
