How do the fans connect to the PSU? My buddy gave me this case and I have all the fans connected but I can not figure out how it connects to my PSU.

Hmm have you connected all the tower cables to the corresponding psu slot? When i set mine this is all that needed to be done. Maybe something is out of place also make sure to open the other side of the tower where you can see the manufactures cables it might be that the one you need isn't pulled all the way through to reach the psu. My other assumption is that the wire fried but this is highly unlikely.

Funny thing is.. They connect to the motherboard.. You will see were they connect and say fan1 to fan2.. Awkward set hp of how it works..

Connect a molex to the fans if you want to use the integrated fan controller. There should be a female molex connector coming for the controller

the fans don't connect to the psu they connect to cables already with in the case the fans have small squared entrances and you will find similar thin cables in the case else when they connect to each other they are already prepared in the case itself

There is a Molex connector that you hook up to the PSU. So all fans (other than the CPU FAN) are powered from this one connection. Fan speeds are then set using the individual controls.

You should be able to fit just about any PSU into the case. Honestly for best usage, determine if all your other equipment you are placing into the computer uses alot of wattage/Power. Then determine the PSU that you need....once yo decide it should fit just fine. with space to fit everything into it's own place comfortably....I hope this helped, Best of luck.....

There are usually extra connectors coming off the power supply.Some are for harddrives and dvd drives.Generally there are extras just dangling unused in there.there should be two choices for plugs that come with the fan.Both will fit the multiple types of connectors coming off the power supply.The real important part is to not over tighten the screes when connecting the fan to the case or where ever your puting it.Hope that helped.

I just bought this case as well to a 230v country. I made sure it's switched to the 230v side before doing anything. The fan on the power supply would start, then stop after a few seconds, then start again etc. Same for the CPU fan that is connected. Is it possible all these power supplies are lemons for 230v?

My Case "Did Not" Come With A Power Supply. The Case Is Pretty Cheap for a great case to build a computer in. Hope This helps

The case is well ventilated and has been running excellently for me. You might run into fan restriction issues if you swapped out all the included fans for high CFM fans, but for a balanced or silent PC, you shouldn't have any temp issues at all. There is a (filtered) intake grill on the bottom of the PSU bay, so if you are worried about your PSU airflow, orient your PSU to intake from the bottom and exhaust out the back. I have loved working with this case so far.

No it does not include the power supply. But basically any basic power supply out there that you choose will fit. Location is in the bottom/back of case. You can choose to mount the power supply right side up so that the fan will be facing into the case or upside down and fan will be pushing air out through vented bottom of case.

'course! I've not had that issue with this case buuuuuuuuuuuuut there's a few things we can do! Firstly, make sure all the power cables to the fans coming from the case are connected to MOLEX/4pin power connectors (or the relevant ones for the fan you are connecting) and if it's still not receiving power and spinning up either A) Send the case in for replacement or B) Try a replacement power cable to the fan. Not really much more help beyond that which can be offered I'm afraid!

I installed 4 120mm fans, one on the bottom just in front of the power supply, one in front behind the front cover of the case (that just pulls off) one in back of the case and one on top of the case. If you have a mid to full size mobo, the top fan will have to be moved over a bit and then secured with just 2 case fan screws as it will not line up properly, mid to full size mobos tend to block the fan from being installed on the pre fit holes.

The fan on top of ur PSU is actually an intake(usually), not the exhaust. The exhaust is the rear of the PSU. So it will suck cool air from below and exhaust hot air out the back, instead of sucking hot air from the case if it were up. That is y there is a removable filter at the bottom as it collects dust before it's sucked into the PSU

first use your motherboards fans available (4 or 3) pin ports with only 1 fan each and use power supply unit molex 4 pin conector to fan adapters for the ones remaining (take care psu max load current amp rate to avoid overloading each molex conector)

It may fix. I got a 750w 80 plus gold and I had to cut one of the hard drive bay to make it fit. The case is very practical in space and good looking. For fans, get the noctua fans or better. Watch for how big the heatsick is. I can't overstate about planning to manage the space and cables on this case.

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation. I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case. at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

I have something made by mini-box. It's a 200W pico-psu. It works. I have had some issues with my computer though. I can't be certain if it is power related but it could be. Personally, I do not like this case. The power button broke in two days. The face plate is the cheapest plastic imaginable. I'm going to sell my whole system and build a new one.

There is one fan in the front that would go on the front panel itself. There is one in the back that comes with the case and is already attached. Finally, there are two places for fans in the top of the case, although, depending on your motherboard you may not have room for a fan in one of these slots because (on mine for instance) there is not enough room between the case and the RAM slots. And there is one on the bottom that could go next to the power supply.

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

I have the PC behind my monitor. I honestly can't tell you if we have 2 or 3. Anyone out there in Amazon land have quick access to the cover to count the fans? Sorry. So far no problems and cpu runs cool. I do take all precautions to always keep items away from top and side airvents.
