If desired, can I disable the LED functionality? What are the fan speeds and corresponding CFM? Noise? I actually want some (within reason!)... TIA...

I don't think the LED can be disabled. The speeds are 1200, 1600 and 2000 RPM. I have 2 of these and they are fairly quiet at full speed. My 80MM seems louder.

I have mine connected thru the motherboard which allows full control over the speed. I believe that is the only way to set a speed. The lights stay on, which is fine for me...I wanted the glow. The noise is very low, my smaller fan makes twice the noise and when I turn the smaller one off my tower sounds like the factory set up

Mine works well, fans are very loud. They sent me replacements haven't installed yet...

There is no way for you, the user, to control the fan. Disabling it could result in your drives running excessively hot and I would not advise it. The fan is quiet enough that you should not be bothered by it, if you are listening to music, watching tv or movies (even if you are listening to them at low volumes).

I have two of the fans in the computer I'm building at the present time and neither one emits any light. I hope that helps you out.

No, I don't have that problem. I never noticed a fan running until I read this email. Now, I can hear a slight hum occasionally. But nothing you should ever notice. Yours is not right.

Mine shipped with a Red LED fan. They may have mixed the details with the non AMD edition which does have a blue fan.

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good.Generally, you would have to replaceThe whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

Yes, that's the main reason I purchased the Kingston. Not that I hate LED's, but fans wear out. The fans in the Kingston can easily be replaced when necessary. I should note however, that I purchased this YEARS ago, and the original fans are STILL going strong despite the box being used as a server. These things have had no more than 10 minutes downtime in their life, and they're still relatively quiet. I DO hear them now, but they are not in need of replacement yet.

It seems that the fans are not working properly to match the energy that is consumed by the equipment. I haven't had the time to check with the Optoma Tech Services to check if there is an option for those fans/coolers.

Yes, the led power is integrated into the fans, the pwm only relates to the rpm of the fans. I've run splitters with 3 & 4 fans at a time & all leds work just fine.

I haven't gotten my build up yet, but from what I can see, there is an LED for the power on the front of the case. It would be easy to add LED lights though. You can get case fans with them for a few dollars a piece. I recommend corsair case fans.

Yes. with little activity the fan hardly runs. With more processing it really blows. I found the problem with mine was some Toshiba installed gaming that was running all the time. causing the fan to run on high all the time. I couldn't figure out how to turn the game off (or how it even got turned on) so I just uninstalled it and my machine now runs quiet.

bro, it has to do with the fan. the fan is a standard 140mm fan. it is as loud as the 140mm fan installed. The stock fan is loud yes. But you can turn it down. The nzxt green led fan I have installed as well is not loud at all tho

No the led lights don't have turn off switch and it won't turn off if you hook them up to a motherboard fan header, if you are hooking it upto a fan controller i don't think you could turn off the lights..i don't mind the LED so i just hooked mine up with the connector on the motherboard.

Agree with Pbear's response. Love the fans -- I have installed three of them.

there are NO interior lights, although the photograph makes it appear as if the PC is lighted from within. Would really be awesome if it DID. Exterior lights showing speed of the 6 fans is either OFF, RED, or BLUE (the default)

Yes. There are separate buttons for light and fan speed on/off button. The key is the installation.
