It just rests on the glass

2019-12-30 02:22:37 UTC  

It JUST fits

2019-12-30 02:22:44 UTC  

hot

2019-12-30 02:23:06 UTC  

Might change it out for something smaller and ar gee bee

2019-12-30 02:23:24 UTC  

I'm gonna get him something full tower since they have the space

2019-12-30 02:23:33 UTC  

Nice

2019-12-30 02:24:04 UTC  

Even though this case has filters for it, still pretty dirty

2019-12-30 02:24:15 UTC  

and its an airflow focused one

2019-12-30 02:24:32 UTC  

i might rig up another layer for the filtration

2019-12-30 02:24:39 UTC  

yeah, I should be fine, since I air out my room a lot even in winter

2019-12-30 02:24:40 UTC  

using Pantyhose/stockings

2019-12-30 02:25:15 UTC  

All the dust that enters it is the fine dust kind

2019-12-30 02:25:52 UTC  

yeah, I just got an idea from when you mentioned pantyhose/stockings

2019-12-30 02:26:47 UTC  

I should download CAD, gonna make someplastic tool that clamps unto cloth that you can insert magnets into and use as a dust filter

2019-12-30 02:27:18 UTC  

That would be so helpful lol

2019-12-30 02:27:33 UTC  

I really dont wanna hot glue my stock magnetic filter

2019-12-30 02:28:03 UTC  

yeah, that's no bueno

2019-12-30 02:28:26 UTC  

I can atleast finally use the shit I studied in industrial design

2019-12-30 02:29:09 UTC  

Send me a copy of the CAD when yer done with em hahaha

2019-12-30 02:30:12 UTC  

sure thing! lol

2020-01-04 02:06:59 UTC  

so I screwed up and bought fans that were all 3 pin, is there anyway to control the fan speed without accessing the bios or undervolting them? like an external controller or something, can't find any decent answers online.

2020-01-04 02:51:26 UTC  

So, you bought 3 Pins, so PWM is a no go

2020-01-04 02:52:28 UTC  

Theres still some 3 Pin Fan Controllers still for sale somewhere

2020-01-04 02:52:38 UTC  

they fit in the 5" Drive Bays

2020-01-04 02:53:42 UTC  

this particular one is smol

2020-01-04 02:54:30 UTC  

but yeah 3 Pins can only be controlled by managing the Voltage that is run to them

2020-01-04 02:55:14 UTC  

theres also this

2020-01-04 02:55:22 UTC  

thanks! this was exactly what I was looking for

2020-01-04 02:55:53 UTC  

the one using a 4 pin header was exactly what I needed

2020-01-04 02:56:24 UTC  

But you still need to go into the bios tho

2020-01-04 02:56:32 UTC  

since it connects to the MB 4 Pin

2020-01-04 02:57:07 UTC  

the first one that is*

2020-01-04 02:57:27 UTC  

yeah, that's not much of a problem, my only problem with the bios was that it didn't have controls for voltage on the other pin headers

2020-01-04 02:57:40 UTC  

4 pin didn't have that problem

2020-01-04 02:57:45 UTC  

keep in mind, this is a change one, change all solution

2020-01-04 02:57:56 UTC  

yeah, that's ok

2020-01-04 02:58:06 UTC  

alright, glad i was able to help

2020-01-04 03:00:31 UTC  

```***PLEASE READ*** for anyone skeptical about what this device does (as I was before buying it because it does not explain anything on the product page), this device takes a 4-pin PWM fan header as a source for fan speed, and then converts the signal/selected fan speed into the corresponding DC voltage to control the fan speed on 3-pin DC fans to what you have selected on your motherboard's software, using a SATA power connector as a power source. PWM case fans are not common, and are usually expensive, so for people who want to configure many 3 pin fans to the same fan speed curve without blowing a fan header from plugging in too many fans to one of them, this is a perfect product. If your motherboard allows setting each fan header to PWM OR DC mode, be sure to set it to PWM mode or else the controller will not function properly. It is looking for a PWM signal to convert from, not a DC voltage. The only downside (it wasn't one for me) is that you cannot independently set each output on the Phanteks controller to a different speed. It will take the PWM speed coming from the source and set every 3-pin fan connected to that speed. I hope this clears up a lot of people's confusion as no one has clarified this as far as I know.```
