Did anyone else have to install a tower cooler? If so, where did you run the power cord out of?

No it does not need to be plugged into the psu, you can install it and use the disk that comes with it right out of the box.

Heh. Dead silent.Why? the fan is not running! Ever! There is a switch in the back for ECO mode. Unless the power supply gets hot, it does not spin the fan. Since I have a GTX980 with its lower power draw (Haswell o/c to 4.3GHz, air cooled), the power draw has never been enough to make the fan spin that I have ever seen. The fan is on the top so the heat can go into my case through the fan mesh and get sucked out by my case fans. Works well and the top of the power supply is barely warm.

I gave it to my computer guy. But I remember him saying I needed a new power supply to run it. Sorry I wasn't more help.

I haven't had any problems with my unit. Check all your cords and hook up. I had to unhook my usb on the front of my tower, had issues with it on my board!

I bought some long sata cables so i could run them out the back of the case. I also have a few raid controllers (perc6e) that have external cables. I did not use the built in power supply connector. I bought a dual power supply cable that attached to the mainboard. So when the computer was on it powered on the drives in this rack.

Swapping the fans out isnt a problem.. The problem for me came in making sure you have enough wire to properly reach.. I bought special fans for the front of mine and ended up not using them just because the stock fans were built for the case... Havent had any over heating issues and im running 2 980's

Yes I have two of them running on a 650 watt PSU along with a liquid cpu cooler so either my PSU is about to blow or these use less power than they need...hope I was helpful!!

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.

It runs off your power supply with the supplied adapter or if your mother board has the fan connector you can plug in there as well. The power supply connectors are the large white connectors that also plug into your hard drive inside the computer case.

No. It just plugs in. Be sure to install it with airflow going in the proper direction for proper cooling.

Actually the aluminum of the cooler that you have to attach to the card is at back side of it.An you lost 1 slot previous a your video card slot, by other hand please note that you video card have a lot surface in contact to the actual cooler at the front of the card you will lost all that contact for it. In my case I'm running world of warcraft at maximums resolution and my card are 127.40º F and before the cooler was 154.40º

Make sure you have power cord connected in the "cool" orientation. The cord connects in one way to cool and another way to warm the inside. Try unplugging the cord where it plugs into cooler and turning cord end over.If I misunderstood please give more detail.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.
