Question 1

Anyone with a Define R5 case have experience with these?  I'm buying this to replace the stock Fractal Design Dynamic GP14 140mm fans which are faily decent in and of themselves but I wanted a little more air movement out of my case fans.  Does these install flawlessly or will there be adjustments I have to make to have these fit in the two front intake 140mm slots of my case?

Accepted Answer

The fans have rubber pads on the corners (the dark arrows in the pictures the screw holes go through. I had to pull them off to get the fans to fit in the front intake slots. They're sticky, but came off okay.

I did not have to make any changes to the case or cut anything on the fans other than that.

Question 2

How do you have this hooked up?  Many Gigabyte and MSI mobos have only one or two true PWM fan headers even though 4-pin headers pepper the board.  Are you using a PWM splitter or are you just using the fan in a voltage control header?

Accepted Answer

I don't use a 6-channel NZXT fan controller.  I keep things simple using manual control (old school), so I don't use the any automatic control on any of the fans.

Question 3

Are the blades able to be removed from these fans for aftermarket dying?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, I have no idea as it was something I had not intended to do.
