Question 1

can I take out the two blue led fans and install red ones?

Accepted Answer

I believe that the fan has an extender connector inside that will allow you to interchange the fans. They both plug into one fan connector on the motherboard and run in parallel.

Question 2

Hello I have a Antec P280 case. Will this radiator fit in the upper fan area of the case? Can you add additional fans to sandwich the radiator in the fans?

Thanks,

Accepted Answer

Hello,

first off this radiator assembly is very large. You might be able to fit it on the top location in that case but I would make sure that it will not interfere with your ram, or other parts of your mobo. The fans and radiator do not separate easily or at all like a normal rad/fan does. They come assembled. You can not add fans to the stack, and it would be very very thick if you modded it to do so.

Question 3

would this work with the CM Storm Stryker?

Accepted Answer

yes it will work.

Question 4

i own this..was wondering can i swap out the fans it came with or no??

Accepted Answer

yes actually you can but it is not a super easy swap, the wiring on the fans will give you some trouble the way it is installed.

Question 5

How long are the cords?

Accepted Answer

The fan cords and pump water lines are both 1 foot max in length. Mine only last me a year and mysteriously quit cooling even though everything seemed to be working still replaced with a corsair love Zalman unique design but didn't work out in this case

Question 6

i need to know if this will fit 1151?  not many specs on 1151 coolers yet

Accepted Answer

The adapters are very versatile, should fit no problem.

Question 7

is it compatible with AMD FX series?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this will work with the AMD FX series. Assuming they all run the AM3+ sockets.

Question 8

Will this fit a Fractal Design, Define R4, Case?  I'm worried Depth may hang down to much?

Accepted Answer

I have a "Danger Den" that's a large cube about 18".
I just measured from the bottom of the top of the case to the top of a PCI express connector and that's 5 inches, the MB being a bit above midway up the case. It was a bit of a tight fit, and the bottom of the fans is about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the CPU water pum that comes with it. One fan actually sucks up right above the memory on the right, and the other fan to th left is a bit to on top of the water pump and to the left. I was afraid the hoses would king, bit depending on how you place the fans and the inlet/outlet hose directions on the pump, they don't kink at all!

After I made sure that the cabling went on the right connectors on the motherboard, then the Bios on mine controls the fan speeds, so after configuring the fan speeds on the bios, everything worked really nice!
I've been checking every so often and my CPU runs at about 96 degrees F which I think is amazingly cool, My MB runs at about 87. O realy like the build quality, and if you kick up the fan speed to a higher level, they are a bit noisy, but not at the speed that keeps the temperatures that I mentioned. I'm please with them, and glad I made the upgrade from a single corsair water cooling system

Question 9

What is the length of the cooling lines, and can they be extended if need be?
Thank you

Accepted Answer

Cooling lines are roughly 14 inches long give or take. Not sure about extension, it would require more coolant I would think to make up the volume increase and I dont know what they put inside of it.

Question 10

One of the fans is not turning, how do you replace it?

Accepted Answer

There will be a 2 step process. the first would be to find the mounting bolts/screws/studs holding in the water block. Care must be make with the backing plate normally accessible on the opposite case cover. Next remove the bolts/screws/studs holding the fan radiator assembly. The cpu must be cleaned and new thermal paste applied before reassembly.
