I picked up five Scythe blue LED fans with VRs today to replace the crappy fans I was running on my Q9650 rig. The fans were mounted on the WC loop radiators, four on the dual-rad doing push-pull and the last one on the single rad at the top of my case (One of the case's 140mm fans is pulling from the other side).
Then I got thinking: The fans got VRs, right ? Lets use 'em.
Two hours later (including replacing the fans and doing the mod and rewiring), I got myself a way to control those five fans from the front panel.
So here's how it went:
Protective eyewear ? Check:
Drilling and Dremeling one of the drive bay covers:
Fans replaced, VRs in place:
Test run, works fine:
Knobs placed (No, they don't line up. Yes, I made them in sort of a bat-wing shape on purpose. Yes, they are symmetrical):
Final result:
Not very bad, I think
