Question 1

I saw some of the reviews say that these cases only come with one fan, where the specifications say that it comes with more than that.. how many does it come with?

Accepted Answer

The case I received came with 1 X 120 MM Fan in the bottom front spot, directly in front of the HDD Bays.

In my honest opinion, the stock fan is fine, but if you are looking at this case, chances are you are gonna be putting some pretty capable hardware in it, and extra cooling could never hurt.

I thought ahead and ordered a set of three blue LED super quiet fans and installed them with my new build- one on the extra spot in front, one on the back and one on the top. With my PSU this makes four.

Another thing to keep in mind, the front slots have a very cool screw less design that is just four tabs that hold the fan in with pressure/friction. Make sure that when installing these bays to push the fan firmly in and to set all four tabs correctly.

Also, with the rear, top fan- make sure to install any fans you might want to go here BEFORE placing the motherboard in. There are four screws, one on each corner. If you put the Mobo in first, the rear two screw are near impossible to remove and I ended up having to take mine out to get at them .

Question 2

Exactly how many fans come with this case?

Accepted Answer

1 that is it.  Unless they make a mistake and you will get 4 . Raidmax made this case with 2 different models.  1st model had 4 fans  2 nd model only comes with 1 . There mail in rebate is a joke its been 6 months and i still have not received it.  Customer Service is a joke from Raidmax also.

Question 3

Does it have a fan?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a single 120 mm fan with blue LED that is mounted in the top front slot (the blue glow as pictured).

There is space in front to have a second 120 mm intake fan with LED below that as well (I got a separate matched pair for this), which coupled with a single-fan liquid cooler for the processor with exhaust blowing out still left me two open fan ports (side, top) which I didn't use - or even need between those and the PSU fan as second exhaust.  This case has great airflow, though I should note I also have a little dual fan clip-on memory cooler going which provides additional flow for the RAM and chipset.

Question 4

I ordered this product recently and it has yet to arrive. But I was reading some reviews in the meantime to confirm I had made the right choice. Two things came up:
1. Will i be getting the newer VL version?
2. How many fans come pre-installed with the case? 1? or 4 as some users have said. Or were they optional add-ons?

Question 5

How is the cable management? I like when the drives go in backwads (Away from the window) so that the SATA cables are unseen, Can you do that in this case?

Accepted Answer

The cable management is amazing in this case. The back (behind motherboard) side of the case has a shallow raised portion that makes mounting an aftermarket CPU cooler and all the wiring paths you could need.

The Windows actually only takes up half of the back side of the case- which means you will see the top half of the PSU and the video/PCiE Cards.

If you mount your PSU with the wires at the bottom of the case (technically upside down, I think) and use the back channel you will not see a single wire. The window does not extend far enough to even see the bottom mounted HDD bays, which I do believe point to the rear (I/O Panel) side of the case. So short answer, you cannot see the bays or wires coming from the HDD bays on the front side of the case- but if for some reason you had cable management issues you could even use the HDD bays in front of the HDD bays.

The only wiring you may have an issue with is if your Video card(s) use 6 or less pin connectors. My HD7850 Ghost editions in crossfire use 2 6 pin connectors each. so I have 4, 6 pin connectors right at the very front end of the window. But even so, the window is very dark tinted, and unless you have some very bright lighting in your case you will never see any wires that are even pressed right against it.

I replaced the stock fans with brightly illuminated blue fans from here on Newegg and I'd have difficulty identifying wiring inside the case because of how dark the tint is.

Question 6

Does this case come with any fans?

Accepted Answer

My cases included one 120mm fan in the front. I added a second one to the vent in the top.

Question 7

Has anyone had an issue installing different 120 mm fans into the front panel of the case? I just can't seem to get both sides to line up and click in equally

Accepted Answer

I did have a similar issues, but mine was with the same two fans. Just two standard LED fans and they seemed to want to click into place properly. They never rattled or made any noise, So I think I either ended up leaving them as is or finding a simple fix for it, but Yes- I would bet the small plastic tabs are irregular or difficult to manage and cause issues for others.

Question 8

Does this case come with 3 fans or just the front LED fan? Also if it does come with the 3, or I add the other 2, will they work with MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The case comes with three fans. 2 LEDs in the front and one in the back at the top. The case comes with all the appropriate connectors for the motherboard. I was able to choose between having my fans connected so they would always be on, or connecting them to the motherboard differently to allow me to control the speed or let my motherboard control the speed based on the heat within the system.

Question 9

could a corsair h100i 240mm radiator fit in in front of that space where the 2x 120mm fans are located?

Accepted Answer

No, not unless you took the hard drive caddy bay(s) out. You can get 120mm fan grills and make another fan slot on the top of the case and that may provide a solution bu wouldt also void your warranty for sure.  This case provides amazing airflow with cooler master sickleflow fans and creates a kindof "jet engine" effect I'd like to believe to best explain it.  In short if you want a case you don't have to do any work on to fit water-cooling into, look for another case. Otherwise I highly recommend this case and know several people with this case who are very satisfied with it.  There are many other well built cases with room for water cooling, you just have to look in the right places.

Question 10

What is the screw size on the top fan?  Mine didn't come with any and I'd like to put a 120 up there.

Accepted Answer

Yes, I know.  But they do NOT fit this case.  The ones that come with the 120mm fan are short and fat.  The case needs long and skinny fans.
