Page 5 of 6 Modification and Use: While I had the front bezel off, I decided to tidy up a bit what SanSun had made a slight mess of. I sorted out all the wires and zip tied them in their seperate groups. I pulled a bit more length to the door hinge so that the door would not pull on them around the sharp edges inside the bezel. I also routed the wires through a passage next to the 3.5" bay, which oddly enough already had the Reset switch ran through it. Maybe the assembly people forgot to put the rest through as well? From the second picture, you can see that you are still unable to move the GPU and System fan headers due to their short length. When installing the hardware into the case, there are many different ways to hide your cables and keep all that space open for air flow. One thing I found was that the previously mentioned bay covers completely block all air flow from the front two fans. I had to remove both the plastic and metal 5.24" bay covers that were directly in behind of the front door fans to allow the air to flow from the front to the back. This also cut down on air noise. When the installed components are turned on, the front of the case lights up. The center display is the first to turn on and takes a second for any fans connected to the controller to turn on. This shoudl be a warning to any overclockers that might be using this as this as their HSF controller as there is a full two seconds before any devices on the controller turn on! Once the system is up and running, you can adjust the controller's settings by using the scroll wheal on the right hand side of the door. You can adjust the up to three fans from settings '1' to '5' where '5' is full speed and '1' is the lowest speed. If using the controller on any LED fans, operating the fans at a setting under '5' may result in the fans' LEDs flashing due to lack of power. |
