Question 1

External Drive bays.  What size are they?  2 5.25?  Is there an adaptor faceplate for a 3.5" SD card reader?  I need a new case that can house a 5.25 blu ray dvd/cr-r drive and a multi card reader.  hard to find now, since most new cases have fans up and down the front.

Accepted Answer

This case does indeed have the 2x 5.25" bays you're looking for, but it does not come with the 3.5" conversion bracket, that will have to be purchased separately.  Good luck with your build!

Question 2

I am trying to plug in the power connector for the LED control board (4 pin) into my Corsair CX 750M power supply but it there is no opening on the power supply to insert the power connector.  Is there an adapter that I could use or will my power supply not work?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately I haven't built my case yet. Technical difficulties in my system .
Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 3. But because my processor overheated and created all kinds of havoc throughout my board-processor-hardrive I just got it back to a formatted state. Had to buy a brand new 3770K. Plus the Hard drive.
I say all this to say I was considering an EVGA super nova next after all this  I have a corsaire 1050 HX in my current case and was wondering if I would have issues with the same thing. So yeah yours might not work lol.

Question 3

Is there an off setting for the RGB?

Accepted Answer

Yes,  you can either not connect the power to the RGB (if you want it always off) or if you only want to have the light on part of the time the button on the outside of the case allows you to cycle the settings so you can turn it off, solid or wave.

Question 4

How does one make the built-in fan controller and fans fan speed be controllable from the motherboard fan control header ?  (I'm not talking a bout the RGB, I wan't the fan SPEED to be controlled by the MB)

Accepted Answer

Hello Bruce, There are a few methods to do this, I found the information at the below link. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-there-a-way-to-control-the-case-fan-speeds.1465908/ Case fan speed control: 1) BIOS (may be some settings here to enable) 2) Download and install the Fan Control software for your EXACT motherboard (see motherboard support site). Change from 100% to 50% and listen to see if fan speed changes (noise). A good ramp is 40 deg C at 50% to 70 deg C at 100% (will vary). 3) My motherboard can control 3-pin (Voltage) and 4-pin (PWM) fans for Case Fans. Older motherboards may support 3-pin only. 4) Fan must be attached to the proper motherboard FAN connectors just like the CPU fan is (refer to the motherboard manual). Hope this helps!

Question 5

Some pictures have a vertical GPU mount. Is this included?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Unfortunately a vertical GPU mount is not included nor is it pictured with this case.  i would recommend the below case I linked.  Hope this helps!

Question 6

Can you make the fans built-in work with Asus Aura Sync?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The RGB controller includes a header connector for Aura compatible motherboards. By default, the RGB controller does it's own thing. To give control to Aura, you need to hold the color-change button on the case for about 3 seconds.

Question 7

I bought this a while ago and just realized that they only gave 2 clips for the 3.5 drive space.  I know you aren't supposed to put the hard drive directly on the bottom of the box.  How did you all get around this?  Anyone have a number to the company?  I cant find one.

Question 8

Will a MATX motherboard work on this case or do I need a regular one?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It will work fine. The holes for mounting are drilled to accommodate Micro, Mini Or full ATX, ...It's in the specs listed. Just click "Specs" - Motherboard Compatibility - Micro ATX / ATX / Mini-ITX" ...I used a full ATX in mine but any of those will work & fit fine. I hope this helps you.

Question 9

Can you set the specific color, for example always blue ?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Also if you have Aura, you hold that button in for a few seconds to get it to take over.  Its the best case I owned considering the price.

Question 10

what does XWD cable use for ? and where can i plug it in

Accepted Answer

The XWD cable is the connector that comes with the built-in RGB controller on this case. It has 2 modes of operation: autonomous and slave modes. The default mode is autonomous in that it controls the RGB colors itself and you can make changes to the modes from a button on the front panel near the USB ports  while the slave mode uses the included XWD cable to connect to a motherboard header where you can potentially control the RGB through your motherboard software.
