Question 1

What accessory would allow me to turn this led off and on?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe you can buy any accessory to turn off just the LED, most fan controllers change voltages which will dim the LED and the speed of the fan. Without altering the interior of the fan, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Sorry!

Question 2

My motherboard is an Asus R4BE it has a 4 pin floppy Molex for the fans, how do I connect this fan to it? Every connection I see with the fans has 2 or 3 wires only. Thanks

Accepted Answer

You can plug this 3 pin fan right into the 4 pin slot on the motherboard. It's not necessary to use all 4 pin slots unless you have a fan with a controller switch on it which regulates speeds or turns led lights on and off. Just line up the pin holes on the fan with the pins on the motherboard that correspond with plastic guides on both.

I hope this helps you with your question. You could also watch videos on YouTube or Google your question if you need more information.

Take care! ??

Question 3

Will this fan fit in the top of a Thermaltake V9 case?  I am intending on using this fan to replace the stock 230 fan it came with and I am concerned with some claims of compatibility issues with other cases.

Accepted Answer

I own it and never use it. There are better fans out there for the price. The plastic is pretty cheap and brittle, so it's prone to breaking. I purchased it for my BitFenix Prodigy, it fit fine but it kept my system from booting. I assume it was a shorting problem but I think it was from the adapter daisy-chained in to power it more than the fan itself.

Question 4

I have a Cooler Master HAF Evo case for which a standard 200mm fan will not fit on the top mounts (fan to small for mount holes to line up). Will this larger size fan fit up to this model?  Please advise as I would like to order without having to send back because it was not the
right fan.

Accepted Answer

I would actually stay away from bitfenix. I got the bitfenix 230mm for my case which was ready for a 230 and I had to modify. The bitfenix didn't use standard mounting hole spacing. I had to mount fan outside the case. It works just fine and turned out OK. But I wasn't expecting the extra work. Id go with a cougar fan. You won't be disappointed.

Question 5

Will this replace the stock case fans in the AZZA Solano 1000R and will the 3 pin regulate the RPMs ? I cannot seem to find any 4 pin fan replacements.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will fit and can be used to replace the stock fan. The fans 3pin can be controlled via the 4 pin on the mobo if the board comes with software to control the rpm's.
