Topic: Fan config Posted: 19 Jun 2020 at 1:42am |
Hi folks,
So I've already received my Aventum and for the most part I love it. However when I specced out, I stuck with the stock fans and DS controller. I've sort of regretted not going with an RGB fan setup. So with my current config, what are RGB fan options that I have? Will I need to consider swapping out the DS controller for something else from either Thermaltake or Corsair? Current Specs: System Configuration: Chassis Model: Aventum X Exterior Finish: Black Metallic Matte Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (8-Core) 4.5 GHz Turbo Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming (Wi-Fi) (AMD X570 Chipset) (Up to 3x PCI-E Devices) System Memory: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum DHX (Extreme-Performance) Power Supply: 1000W Digital Storm Performance Series (Fully Modular) (80 Plus Gold) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: - No Thanks Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (1TB Seagate FireCuda 520) (NVM Express) (Gen4 PCIe) Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (4TB Western Digital / Seagate - Ultrastar Data Center / IronWolf) Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: H20: HydroLux PRO: Exotic Custom Cooling System (1x Graphics Card + CPU) HydroLux Tubing Style: Flexible Tubing (Requires HydroLux Liquid Cooling System) HydroLux Fluid Color: Clear Fluid + Clear Tubing (Requires HydroLux Liquid Cooling System) Cable Management: Exotic Cable Management - White - (Cable Combs with Custom Color Sleeved Extension Cables) Chassis Fans: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled Advanced LED Lighting System (Multiple RGB Color Modes) Airflow Control: Digital Storm Thermal Management Control Board & Software Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Stock Factory Turbo Boost Advanced Automatic Overclocking Graphics: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) OS Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: USB Drive - Windows 10 Installation (Format and Clean Install) Virus Protection: Windows Defender Antivirus (Built-in to Windows 10) Office: - No Thanks Mouse Pad: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, 6 Week Ship Estimate After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) Thanks, S |

I would definitely go with Corsair. IDK about Thermaltake, but I know Corsair's iCue software will allow color and speed control of the LL Series RGBs. They are pretty pricy, so you may wish to be selective about which fans you change out.

You either have the options of going with Corsair or Thermaltake depending on your choice. They both allow for LED and speed control.
I like the Corsair ML Pros especially for custom liquid cooling setups since they're high airflow and static pressure, best of both worlds. |

How are the corsair fans in terms of noise? My previous rig was using the stock corsair fans on an H115i cooler. When the machine got warm, they did get pretty noisy. I eventually swapped out for Noctua fans. I do get though with this rig I probably will need to make a trade off given the amount of fans...but just curious.

The LL and ML series are both really quiet sets, but you're right, there is some opportunity cost considering how many fans actually go into the Aventum X. |
