Question 1

Does it come with the wires with the USB ports cables?

Accepted Answer

For the 3 USB ports built into the top of the case it does. It has fairly long headers to accommodate various motherboard layouts. I used a Full ATX board (Asrock Extreme 6) with no issues. The port closest to the front of the case has become fairly loose. The other two have been fine in retaining their tightness.

Question 2

So I just bought this case and completed my build. And on the top of the case the LED strip just to the left of the USB ports occasionally flashes the color red. Has anyone else had this happen to them? And is it a problem or am I safe?

Accepted Answer

It's fine. That's the HDD indicator light. If it bothers you, you can unplug the wires from your motherboard that correspond the the HDD LED. It isn't required, and you won't have any drawbacks from unplugging it.

Question 3

how are the stock fans? I'm getting a gtx 1080 for this case so gotta know. also does it support water cooling for gpus and cpus?

Accepted Answer

Stock fans have 2 stages. Low is almost dead silent, while high is still pretty quiet but they all work well. As for water cooling, there are two spots on top for water cooling. You can definitely water cool the CPU but I wouldn't try to cool the GPU by itself just because of how the water lines would have to sit. This is a great case for large GPU's.

Only problem I have is with the back GPU port covers. Once they come off, they can't be easily put back on so just be careful about which you take off.

Question 4

how much height clearance is there in the cooling radiator space at the top? (in mm)  Is there enough space for a thin radiator and thin fan?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is plenty of room, the Corsair H100i 240m will fit with no problem

Question 5

Does this case have room for a DVD Drive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the case has two slots in the front. The slots are hidden by a cover door.

Question 6

Molex connectors or 3-pin headers? If not those what then? And where do I plug my fans and fan com

Accepted Answer

I bought it for someone else.  Didn't exactly know what came with it but the width is a little narrow for a a Cooler Master 212 EVO CPU cooler.

Question 7

The mounts for the PCI slots where you use screws to secure a graphics card (or similar) aren't threaded. Is this normal? How can I secure the graphics card if I can't get any screws into it?

Accepted Answer

There are suppose to be threaded hole to put screws into. you may want to return it for a replacement case. Unless they have modified it with a fold down piece then you secure the cards with that.

Question 8

Does anyone have an in depth video of the tower? I there is only ONE video in all of YouTube. And it's pretty vague.

Accepted Answer

If you have a stock heat sink, no problem.  other wise, don't bother because it won't fit.

Question 9

I can I just not use the controller at all? Because that's really a controller if it just on and off.

Accepted Answer

The fan controller makes the fans spin at the maximum speed possible when you press it. If it is off then they just spin normally. It's a button though, not a fully adjustable dial.
