Question 1

I'm looking to replace the blue LED fans that came with my Thermaltake Core V71. Is this a good replacement choice if I want red LEDS?

Accepted Answer

This fan will fit in the case and runs great as it is what i chose for my Core V71 build but it will not run properly on the built in fan controller. Thermaltake did not design the built in controller to properly power the fans other than the exact model that came with the case and can cause the the controller to fail. If you wish to use it with this case you will need to buy a fan controller as well or power it from a fan port on your motherboard.

Question 2

First item:
I am looking for a top exhaust fan for a Thermaltake Overseer RX-1 ATX tower.
Specifically is there a 200x200x30mm Blue LED 600 rpm fan available?

Second item:
I am investigating to see what can be done about the manually operated power switch that is located at the top right front. When I press the power switch, the power doesn't come on right away. The actual time that I have to wait varies. I'm concerned that someday the power might not come on at all. Can you help me please?

Accepted Answer

First Item: I think these are the first 200mm LED fans that Thermaltake has made, so if you want the blue one then it's this model:  CL-F024-PL20BU-A.

Second Item:  Double check your motherboard and it's manual. Make sure your case leads are connected correctly all the way through and are not loose.  Also want to make sure the main power and 12V ATX connector are also firmly connected on the board.

One more thing to note is the lights in your room. If you notice that they suddenly go dimmer when you turn on the PC, then there is a electricity issue.  Possibly not enough amps is being fed to your room.
