Topic: Question about cases.... Posted: 24 Nov 2019 at 2:40pm |
OK, I am a bit confused on some of the case selection issues, specifically fans. My old CoolerMaster Haf 950, 11 years old from DS, has 2 very large fans on top and left door, (240 mm maybe?) and 2x 120mm fans in front and 1 in rear of case. As I recall, all the fans installed were included with the rig. Checking the Lumos, I see the specs list 3 fans included, but space/setup for 6. Velox shows a total of 9 fan slots, but no listing on how many are actually included....
If I get, for example, a lumos case for my rig, does it have all 6 fan slots with (standard level) fans installed? Or must I purchase a fan upgrade in order to get a fan in each fan slot. Also, when viewing the specs on some of the corsair upgrade options, it specifies 1xfan at the listed price of $199, and on (what the special part of the promotion listed is not exactly explained). Some of the other descriptions have no specification on how many fans are actually included. Am I correct in assuming that if I get a fan upgrade included in either of the cases, all fan slots would be upgraded to the new standard? Sadly this is not clear even if you go through the entire process to checkout and check the configuration list...Example: Digital Storm Desktop - Config ID 2733515 $3,356.00 $3,356.00 System Configuration: Chassis Model: Digital Storm Velox Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i9-9900KS (5.0 GHz Turbo All Cores) (16-Thread) (8-Core) (Special Edition) Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming (Intel Z390 Chipset) (Up to 3x PCI-E Devices) System Memory: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum DHX (Extreme-Performance) Power Supply: 850W Corsair RM850x (Fully Modular) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: - No Thanks Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (1TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS) (NVM Express) Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (2TB Seagate / Toshiba / Hitachi) 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 2070 SUPER 8GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex Liquid CPU Cooler (Dual Fan) (Fully Sealed + No Maintenance) HydroLux Tubing Style: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected HydroLux Fluid Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected Cable Management: Premium Cable Management (Strategically Routed & Organized for Airflow) Chassis Fans: Corsair LL Series (RGB Fans) (Software Controlled Effects) Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled Advanced LED Lighting System (Multiple RGB Color Modes) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Stage 1: Overclock CPU - Up to 4.7GHz on All CPU Cores Graphics Boost: - 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 Home (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: Digital Storm MasterKeys Lite Bundle (RGB) Keyboard & Mouse Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) Can anyone from DS confirm the fan situation, please? Thanks so very much! |

If you order either case, you will get the minimum number of DS plain black low budget DS fans with only the 1 yr system parts warranty. Not all fan mounts would be used.
With the Corsair LL or ML fan upgrade you will get all case fan positions installed with the selected Corsair RGB fans plus one Corsair Lighting Node Pro control module that syncs all the Corsair Fans. Then you use Corsairs iCUE software to control the fans and all other Corsair RGB equipped components (cooler, RAM) and any Corsair RGB peripherals (Corsair RGB keyboards or RGB mouse). That means all the Corsair RGB lights can be set to display the same effects or colors if you wish. Corsair LL Series fans have a 2 yr Corsair warranty. They are very quiet and produce excellent static pressure and airflow using hydraulic bearings. These fans are equipped with 16 RGB LED in a dual light ring with endless color/patterns. Corsair ML fans fans have a 5 yr Corsair warranty. They would be the most quiet fans, also have excellent static pressure and airflow using magnetic levitation bearings. ML only has 4 RGB LED in the center hub. I noted you have not changed coolers. The better performing Corsair H100i 240mm AIO cooler or H115i 280mm AIO cooler both have longer 5 yr warranties, while the DS parts only carry the 1 yr system parts warranty. Those coolers are RGB and would synch with the LL or ML fans. |

Thanks for the clarification HB. The config was just for demo purposes to verify the unusual lack of info on the fans, compared to D/S's normal high level of clarity. I'm just not that into the fan lighting thing.
Guess I'll give a call tomorrow to verify how many are actually included in a velox. |
