there's a rave in your room, and all your fans are invited.
LOL, I like that!
Vandoeun Long W 👏👏👏
This guys voice sounds like a robot text to speech reader...
I blame genetics
LMAO
Sounds smooth
May i ask, which verson of cam did you use in this video? my AER audio visualize mode is kinda laggy, not as smooth as your ( Newest CAM version )
Oh, this was done so long ago, I really don't remember unfortunately. Have you tried reinstalling the software?
so many puns. intended.
Dude you need more subs. You are a breath of fresh air in the PC reviewer community. Please never let the humor go, no matter how cheesy it gets!
You warm my heart, thanks! I have no plans to drop my terrible humor any time soon!
No problem dude haha I'd say you and Linus are my two favorite tech guys now!
Dude, the audio in the video is so fucking perfect it's giving me a chub.
I'm honored that I could contribute to your stiffy.
I can't tell if it's dubbed or not?
I'd like to think I did better than those old English-dubbed Chinese films ;)
I rarely watch a whole video when I really just want to see the product but DAYYUMMMM. Funny, cute, informative, well structured. Thank you for making this video! It was fantastic!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
My God, you turned the puns up to 11 today!
But even I can't escape them... FAN-tastic video! I do have to say that I like "I am" as opposed to "I'm" for the closer, now that I've heard you say it. I quite enjoyed the rest of the video, too, as you showed me everything I'd want to know relating to the fans and a decision in buying them--including the negatives--were I interested in buying expensive RGB fans for my computer... which is hidden away under my desk...
I also have to commend you for the more comprehensive reviews you give of the software in addition to the hardware.
A couple of friendly constructive criticisms:
Starting at 5:18 when you're demonstrating the level lighting effect and the others, you turn up the music while you're still talking and I had a hard time understanding you. Just prior to that you'd already had music quiet enough to not drown out your voice, and instead you could have turn the music volume up once you finished talking about the levels lighting effect.
A couple of your deliveries seemed like the almost should have been redone, but the one that really stood out to me was at 1:22. I'm get the kind of delivery you were going for given the context of that sentence, but it made me think you'd lost your train of thought.
And mayyybbbeee try and choose your puns a little more carefully. They loose their charm when you overuse them, as much as I love them. :)
I hope you don't mind my pickiness, but I hope that they're more helpful than harmful. See you next time!
Understood, thank you for the comments! I probably could have afforded to go over the script again to keep up the variety, but I'll be sure to use that ending for a while!
You've upgraded me from a fan to a fanatic with this fancy puns
Hey there, this is my first video of yours that I have been blown away. Btw I love the puns. Great videos, keep up the good work:)
Thanks, I'll try my best!
Honestly dude the way you present stuff is so entertaining it just slaps a smile on my face when i watch, i had to pause the video and subscribe. Keep it up man - informative, funny and just well put together! ^^
Thank you, that means a lot to me! I put a lot of effort into these!
Great video, I've been tossing up between these and Corsair's HD RGB line for my first ever desktop build, so thanks for the in-depth review. I'm definitely a fan.
Glad you enjoyed it, and I hope I could help! Good luck with your build!
Cheers!
the puns are amazing! Thank you for this review! First I've seen on this fan. I'm super excited for them to hit the market and want to grab some when they do.
Thanks for the comment! It doesn't hurt to pre-order them!
one of the most informative and well edited tech videos I've watched, subscribed. nice job, keep up the good vids
Thanks! I put a lot of effort into these!
Found this video randomly but I watched the whole thing and subscribed because of the puns hahaha. The video was very entertaining, great job!
Thank you!
The blooper reel at the end was great :D
I know a bad pun when I see one. And boy, did I see one.
Came for the review, stayed for the puns
Glad you liked them!
nicely packed review. your speak is smooth, not too tryhard or too serious. You Sir earned a sub:)
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!
this guy is underrated, hes not dimm, hes a full BLOWN asian pun artist.
By far the funniest review i've watched and very informational at the same time, good job dude!
Thanks, I tried!
Just found ur channel but i can already see u going big places!
Ed Moor Thank you, I appreciate it!
The PUN Master *bows slowly* .... respect
Dude, great quality content you've earned my sub! Keep it up! You'll be big soon enough
Aw, thanks, that means a lot to me!
Wow Man, this is the best product review I've ever seen on TH-cam. Have you ever thought about becoming a stand-up comic? I just installed an AER 120mm and 140mm in my new NZXT S340 Elite-White RGB build. Your demonstration of how to use the software has opened my mind. It's been awhile since I've gotten a free screw:( May the Buddha be with you:}
I'm actually pretty terrible in front of crowds or around people, stand-up comedy wouldn't be for me! But I'm glad the video helped!
haha, you made this review hilarious. Love the reviewing style, subbed
Thanks!
Wow the puns just never ended. I couldn't help but think you sounded kinda like text to speech robot at one point. Hilarious. Also, very nice review. This is the only video I've seen from you but what the heck I'll sub.
Ah ha, thanks, I think! I hear that robot thing a lot, can never tell if it's good or bad. Glad you liked the review, though, thanks for the sub!
Just bought the NZXT Kraken X52 and was thinking if I should change the stock fans to these... So, I end up here subscribed, liked and watched your video. Nice.
Thanks, hope I could help!
Subscribing not only for the information provided, but also for the humor! Good stuff!
Thanks!
Steven!! You DIMM-witted son of a gun, I absolutely love watching your videos! I originally watched this video since I was on the fence about buying these fans for my first build when I get back home, but this video helped me out tremendously. Especially since you have the same case I'm bought also. Anyways, about your content, it's just hilarious! Regardless of how many puns you make, it brings creativity with each video and considering this was your first video I watched, I'll be waiting for more pun filled videos. I definitely subscribed and I wish you the best on youtube, man. Thanks for the great review!
I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and I'm glad I could help! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it more than you know!
Damn! This was the very first video I watched on this channel... and I instantly subbed! You need more subs, dude! Them puns are killing my sides! :'D
Thanks, glad you found it entertaining!
I love your videos, I just watched one like thirty minutes to an hour ago and I love the puns!
Glad to hear it, thank you!
love you videos man. please keep making them for a long time
Thanks, I appreciate it! And that's the plan!
most under subscrided youtuber ever
Hoping to fix that over time! Thanks!
lol, i told him i about your channel also shared it to all my other friends. Great Channel Man keep it up!!!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
gotta agree, theres 100x worst tech reviewers out there that have few hundred k subs just from doing bs about 50$ builds from random ebay used parts, that you can never possibly recreate.
I can relate, I'm not a huge fan of builds off eBay or Craigslist. Too much of right-time-right-place for me.
The puns are so good, the length one was so funny
Thanks, I try my best!
ALittleDIMM dude I don’t understand how your not blown up by now! I know soon it has to happen your gonna become huge! Keep up the great work my friend. Thanks for the reply!!! I was so excited when I seen that.
Man I've been searching around the web about this and im glad i saw your channel.
cringy puns but that makes it entertaining for me XD
Keep it up you might boom out someday
Thank you, I'm trying!
Yey XD
BTW this video made me cancel my order to switch to this fans... Again
I barely saw news or videos or anyting about this fan before i gave up but man this saved the day
Glad I could help!
Wow, I came across your channel after watching a Thermaltake Riing first look by another reviewer who painfully didn't have as much work put into the presentation of his video as yours or go into near as much detail as you did for this review.
A wealth of information and a fan-tastic sense of humor! Consider me subscribed!
Thank you, good to know you enjoyed it!
All I've wanted in a Tech TH-camr is someone who uses the quirky humor from LinusTechTips with the seriousness from SalazarStudios. Professional, yet very personal. I hate how you only have 685 subscribers, but let me tell you this. You are about to blow up, my friend. Your videos are perfectly made and all the content and relevant with your fun twist on it. I've been looking for an adequate AER video for weeks, because I was considering it for my build. This is EXACTLY the kind of content I was looking for. I'm seriously about to spend my weekend watching all of your videos. Please, please keep doing these. I haven't checked all your videos yet; but if it's not there, can you do an in-depth video discussing beginning streamer audio choices? What kind of mics to buy for things such as your Focusrite and what not. I haven't found a good video explaining what's needed for good XLR microphones (my current mic is XLR to USB and I want to utilize some better technology audio wise).
I'm blushing. That's awesome, I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos, thanks!
Regarding audio equipment, I can absolutely do something about that. I'm actually waiting for a microphone to show up at my doorstep, so I'll be able to start working on this soon!
If I can expand on the request, I just personally have a lot of questions about the differences between XLR/USB and just straight XLR. Obviously quality wise, it's significant, but with an XLR you need a mixer (like that Focusrite), and I know absolutely nothing about audio equipment. It's something I would personally like to see well-made in your kind of style. It's so easy to watch your videos all the way through. I just want to know if it's easy enough to learn through a simple, well made review/how to.
You can request whatever you'd like! I just can't promise it'll be done super-quick. A fellow has to work, too. I can put all of this in a video, but if you need information right this minute, in a nutshell, XLR microphones basically give you the option to use pre-amp processors, which basically means you can apply certain effects to your audio (like gain boosting, gating, and compression) before it even reaches the computer. This is nice in the sense that it'll be less work that needs to be done in post-production (editing the audio), but even nicer in the sense that you'll be able to hear the audio effects live. The advantage to USB microphones is the ease-of-use and that you won't need an audio interface like the Scarlett Solo for the microphone to speak to your computer (so the total cost is generally lower). More details in the days to come! Most likely next weekend, but I'll see what I can do.
ALittleDIMM I have all the time in the world to wait. I just spent a few grand and updating my setup to an all white build and I'm in the process of building two new desks. Audio is going to be my last upgrade. When you talk about programs, is Audacity something you can use to record into like that Scarlett studio? I've used that in the past for college.
That must look super-nice. All white builds are real attractive!
Audacity is a popular program. It works, it's good, and it's free!
Haha, I really enjoyed your puns. Fantastic review, subbed. :-)
That's awesome, thanks!
I really need this kind of review thanks man! Subscribed :)
Thank you!
I really enjoy your videos man, keep up the awesome work and you'll get tons of subs.
you have a really enjoyable personality!
Thank you, that means a lot to me!
I have a question, how did you connect multiple fans to one channel in the HUE? are you using a fan splitter? also, do i need the grid+ in addition to the hue+?
Grid+ is not necessary. You can daisy chain the fans. The fan has a regular cable to be connected to the motherboard, a fan splitter/hub, or whatever, then it's got a separate cable for LED control that goes to the HUE+. From the fan that's connected to the HUE+, there is another port that can go into the next fan. Up to five fans are supported on one channel.
Ah ok, thanks a bunch! :)
Almosty bought the thermaletake ones, lucky saw this clip. thanks mate good channel
Thanks, glad I could help!
Hello, my name is "AER"-ic and I would like to say your puns "blew" me away. Guess I'm just going to have to become a "fan" and subscribe. Hopefully setting mine up will be a "breeze". Hopefully there's enough "RGB". Wait, did I just make a rhyme? That's "cool"
Hello AERic, thanks for watching ;) The humor is much appreciated!
God damnit, i watched almost all of your vids now, dude you're awesome!!!
You must be a real glutton for punishment! I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Great video and channel! Definitely have some quality content. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, I'll definitely try!
Sir, your videos are a work of art.
Jack Young Thank you, I try my best!
best fan review ive ever seen, could not stop laughing, subscribed sir!
your puns just gained you a subscriber.
Thanks!
Your voice is so neutral. I love it!
Thanks, LOL
Awesome quality video man. Definitely subbing.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Just once I want to find a fan review - video or written - that doesn't contain fan puns...😊
With that said, great video my man. Looks like a solid buy. (I was going to say "FANtastic" instead of "great", but I decided to take the high ground.)
So sorry, I couldn't help myself! But I hope you found the video useful!
Dude, I am subscribed. Your sense of humor, voice, and way of communicating is just awesome. I'd love to collaborate on something, but I don't know how I'd help. Meh. It's an offer.
Thanks, I'm glad you think so!
In regards to a collaboration, I'm not sure if my schedule is currently flexible enough. I didn't really have any collaboration plans or ideas, since my channel is still pretty small and this is just a hobby I picked up for hoots. I'll keep it in mind somewhere down the line!
ALittleDIMM My friend, I'd be honored. Just don't forget about me. I'm one of your few fans. Fans. Your...fans?
The joke is not wasted on me, LOL
I'm probably not the first to say this, but those Puns were FAN-tastic :-D
Glad you liked them!
Wonderful video, subbed! I hate to ask such a simple question but I really can't find the answer. I just picked up 5 of these guys and the Hue+. I understand how to link fan to fan, but I don't understand how to connect them to my motherboard. Or if I just let all the cables that come out of the fans dangle, just connect the first in the series to the hue+ controller.. and connect THAT to the motherboard? My motherboard only has a CpuFAN, Cha1fan and cha2fan... and that seems like an awful lot of y splitters. Or an awful lot of molex adapters?
I've built PC's before but never included more than two fans and didn't research enough I suppose. Having a hard time now. At the store they said the box has everything but it doesn't feel like it :S or I'm doing something wrong. Maybe missing something?
Sorry to bother you with something so dumb, but you clearly know the product well lol.
I'm running an Asus Z97K motherboard with an EVGA750w B2 PSU.
Thanks!
Ah, I see your issue! Since your motherboard only has three fan headers, you can only plug in three of the fans at once. While this can be remedied with Y splitters, an arguably more elegant solution is a fan controller. NZXT has the Grid+ that you can use, where you can adjust fan speeds through the CAM software you'll be using. It will require a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard, though (as well as a Molex connection), so you'll want to check to make sure you have an extra one of those. There are other fan controllers that do not require a USB 2.0 header, but you'll have to do some research on those. Some fit in 5.25" drive bays (that some cases don't have any more), while others act like a splitter. You'll have to decide what works best in your case ;)
Dude that was amazing. Too many puns, too little time xD
There will be more in future videos! Maybe not quite as dense as this video, but there will be more!
Do you need the Hue+ with the fans if you have a NZXT with the "i" suffix referring to the smart device they include?
awesome, explained very well, also have that case so its nice to see them inside. I want to get them despite the price, but the availability is so spotty. I guess I'll use the fans that came with the case, and put some aer RGB on order if I have the money. I want these because they are more subtle than the Corsair RGB fans which are bright as hell.
Thank you! The Corsair ones look really nice, but I ultimately went with these because of CAM integration. They look pretty awesome in my opinion.
ALittleDIMM Yeah, I love the candle effect, that would probably be my default. The issue with the fan not spinning, is that a defect you will have to send back for, or is it something one can fix on their own?
The fan not spinning was a problem with the included Low Noise Adapter. The adapters are optional and I didn't think it was something worth returning for. I just chose not to use one out of the three.
what case are you using?
Hi, can we control those fans (Colour settings/Speed) with CAM software without having that little HUE+ hub? I mean I won't use NZXT LED Strips but just to own the fans. Thank you.
No, unfortunately, the hub is required. The fans plug into the hub for lighting control.
So do these pull air from the led side and out through the other side? (Exhaust fans) right? Right ? Someone help
Really good vid, subbed, liked and followed on twitter. Keep up the good work.
Aw, thanks, I appreciate it!
I really love your channel!
Thank you!
I came for the review but i stayed for the puns.
You are a man bearing great mental fortitude.
I'm already a big fan! Ahahaha
Are the fans working without the Hue box? And if yes, are they controllable from CAM?
threw two on my h110i, much quieter and smoother than stock fans (could literally feel the diffrence), doubt that static pressure is higher but they do the job. Getting in a set of AER F's for the case to help cool down the case/SLI since one cards feeding in hot air from the other.
Hope it's working out well! I got a bit of an SLI heating problem myself right now!
I really like your setup and background. What are the case lights in your system? Thanks!
And thanks for the video. I might upgrade to these in the future.
The case lights you can see in the main window are the NZXT Hue+ LED strips. Thanks for the comment!
Awesome. Thanks! :D
hey great beautiful and funny videos, just subbed you! Seems like you're using Corsair H100 as cpu AIO cooler, and you've replaced the corsair fans with AERs. Are you still able to use Corsair Link 4 to tweak the speed etc depending on temperature of the CPU?
Or you've just max out 1500rpm for AERs at all times? Appreciate any response! TIA
Yes, you can! Fan speed is controlled by the typical fan cable, and lighting is controlled by another proprietary cable that connects to the HUE+. As long as the fan is plugged into the motherboard (or a fan controller / cooler that is connected to the motherboard), Corsair Link should be able to see it.
Thanks dude~ Now i can go ahead and grab one in peace! Hope to see more great funny videos soon!
They're in the works! Good luck!
Is it possible to have 12 NZXT AER RGB 2 FANS Inside the Thermaltake view 71 snow? If so what will I need to sync the rgb and to also be able to control the rpb? And what kind of PSU would I need? Is a 850w RMX white corsair ok?
You can control your fan speed with CAM if you plug the AER RGB WPM cable into the NZXT GRID+ Fan controller sold separately :)
Thanks for the information! I don't have the Grid+, but it sounds convenient!
It's nice, does it's job well :) ATM I am using the NZXT Kraken x52 with the GRID+ and the HUE+, looking at these fans to add into the mix, they look pretty cool ... pretty Fantastic, lol
They're a pretty attractive option!
will these work with the kraken x62? I'd like to replace the the default x62 140mm fans with these rgb ones and was wondering if thats possible? thanks buddy. just sub you BTW ;) keep up the quality work.
Yes I have them on my Kraken x62 =) Make sure you get 140mm fans though not 120's. And make sure you plug them into the Kraken x62 fan power leads to power them. Connect the in's and out's for RGB and plug those into your HUE+ and you are set!
This is the best video on these Fans has Down. Also best explanation for software!
Thanks, I try my best!
These fans look great!! I was wondering are these static pressure fans? And will these work with aura sync by ASUS? Thanks for the great review.
They fan design doesn't look to be specifically for static pressure or air flow, but it will work well in either situation. I've had them on a radiator for a while and they do fine! Unfortunately, it's not compatible with Asus Aura Sync, CAM software only!
Ahhh ok...thanks for the fast response. Yea I'm looking for RGB fans such as these that will work with Aura Sync. The Thermaltake Riing looks good as well but I keep reading bad reviews on it. :(
Not sure which direction to go from here since there isn't much of a choice. LOL Any suggestions?
As far as I know, I don't think there are any fans that work with Aura Sync, unfortunately. The CAM software is really powerful, though. You get a lot of control over the lighting. Corsair's HD120 RGB fans use the Corsair Link software, which isn't quite as in-depth in terms of effects, but the fans look really nice! The fans can also use a physical switch that opens up some other neat effects, but then you lose the advantage of using Corsair Link. I don't have any experience with ThermalTake's fans, unfortunately. Hope this helped a little!
Yes it did!! Thank you!! I will go ahead and pick up a set of these!!
Great, you won't regret it!
You've earned a new subscriber :)
A.G Gautham Thanks!
i don't understand how you just have that few views 'cause you deserve more^^ i think i'm getting those fans too
Thanks! The content I'm trying to deliver is still in its inFANcy, but I'm hoping it grows!
I ordered the fans back in the beginning of October when pre-orders first opened up, and I received them early November. For some reason, their site still says it's for pre-order, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on there, but it was worth the wait, I was not disappointed. I just really hope they release versions where light can pass through either side of the fan.
ALittleDIMM i think my problem will be to let the light out of the case... my pc is standing with the window towards a wall what is in this case not very good... but because i need a new desk anyways i will find a solution for that problem... aaaand i'm sorry if my english is not the best and i made some mistakes but i'm just 15 years old ... and still learning (those germans... xD)
No need to apologize for being bilingual. You've already got me beat! I'm sure whatever issues you run into, you'll be able to get them resolved!
ALittleDIMM thanks man, so i'll keep up watching your vids as long as you keep up making new content cause its FANtastic ^^... i gotta go to bed now ... school beginns in 5 hours... damn monday... have a good one and good luck on youtube ;)
Thanks, I appreciate it! Good luck with school!
Really funny reviewer! :D Left my Sub ;)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Subbed because of the puns, good review too.
Do you have the temps for the CPU with the Corsair static pressure fans vs the Aer RGB, I want to do the same thing as you did, but Im curious about performance.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I forgot to document the noise levels and temperatures with the original fans, but from memory, the Corsair fans were noticeably louder and idle temperatures were in the high 30s to low 40s. Under load, I believe it was in the low 70s.
Do I need the Hue+ to control the fans or can I control them just trough software?Please help me I'm dumb af.
That sound is so Mesmerizing
Oddly relaxing, isn't it?
Is HUE2 can conect with HUE2 controler? Because I have 8 Aer RGB fan wanna sync with lights, So how can I do this?? The "CAM" can not control fan speed? I only can set this in BIOS???
Hey ALittleDIMM (icwhutudidthar), nice review and subbed! The puns were very painful lol. Anyway, I was thinking about getting those fans, but they're wildly expensive. Sidebar: do I need static pressure fans? I was also looking at Corsair's Air Series SP120 (Co-9050031-WW). I just don't know which is better. I am also using Cooler Master's Mastercase Pro 5 case for my build.
The general consensus is that static pressure fans should go on radiators because they're best for pushing air through smaller spaces, and air flow fans should be used elsewhere because they can move large volumes of air. I found that the difference is pretty marginal between the two in most situations, so you'll be pretty safe with either. If I were to pick between one or the other, I usually prefer static pressure fans for general purposes.
so do you need the Hue+ to control the lights? Or can you do that through the cam software? subbed btw, great videos man.
Spookatron Jon You'll need the HUE+. CAM controls the fan lighting through the HUE+ unit. And thanks!
can i have one of these fans for exhaust and have 2 be quiet or noctua fans are intake? I'm new to pc building, just working out my first build
came for the testing - stayed for the puns
So I assume they're functioning as exhaust fans when mounted as seen in the video, where the LEDs are actually visible?
Correct!
I'm sure it's been asked, but can I connect these fans to the fan headers in my mobo or only on the hue+?
Also, I really liked your channel, and your video/audio quality 👌👌
The HUE+ powers the lighting, the motherboard or fan splitter or fan hub or generic fan-powering medium will control the fan speed. Thanks for watching, glad you like it!
Love your videos.... newly subscribed!
Questions: Are you doing push/pull on your rad? Have you tried switching the rad position to the front of the case and seeing if that makes a temp difference?
Gib moar punz plox.
For this video, it was just pull. I am currently running push/pull with the rad as a front intake, though I can't say for sure regarding differences, since I made this change when I swapped out my processor. My best bet is that front intake vs top intake would yield little to no difference (various combinations of front/top intake vs front/top exhaust would be a different story). I can tell you that push/pull gave me about a five degree advantage over just push or pull individually, though. Thanks for the sub! More puns to come!
Thanks for the reply!
So, having used these fans for a couple of months, and having some time to dig around in CAM, how are you liking it now? I see lots of poor reviews for both the hue+ and CAM software, so I'm curious what your thoughts are on them, in retrospect.
Cheers!
I hear a lot of people go back and forth on CAM, but in my experience, it's been generally stable. There was a small period of time (two to three days) where it crashed constantly. That was when I swapped from the i7 5820k to the i7 7700k, so I believe it had something to do with lack of support for the new processor. The next update fixed it and I have no complaints. It makes for good monitoring and benchmarking software, in addition to the bling! I change the fans and HUE+ LED strips constantly 'cause I like switching things up, and they all function as you'd expect. I have owned the HUE+ since around January of last year, and I've noticed that the LED strips have gone from white to a kind of pale yellow, but that doesn't appear to be affecting the LED colors. Since I keep the strips out of sight (and I imagine most people aim to do the same),, this doesn't really bother me. While this hasn't happened to me, I have heard cases where some people's LED strips have a diode or two act out of whack and show the wrong colors, probably due to one of the RGB diodes failing to display its respective color. I guess you'll get different answers depending on who you ask, but my overall experience has been pretty positive!
if i just get only the fan without the HUE controller kit what is the default color that will be displayed? The rainbow wave?
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure. I believe the lights stay off without a controller
i love these shitty jokes 10/10 would subscribe again
LOL, thanks!
Your jokes gave me cancer and I liked it. Good stuff man. I might be trying these out when I move my build to a new case soon.
Sorry about the cancer, but thanks! Good luck with the new case!
Great video.. love the corny puns, it makes it informative yet funny at the same time. =D
Thank you!
Can't wait to see more video.. You mainly do tech reviews?
I have plans for other things down the line, but I'm keeping with reviews and the occasional software tutorials for now!
OK cool.. Got my sub! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I will do my best!
Silly question, but are they exlusivly for exhaust, or can the polarity be reversed you they can intake while viewing the RBG lights?
Sorry, polarity can't be reversed!
What case are you using? Looks pretty good (Btw i donno how i founf you, but you definitely deserve muuuch more that what you got)
I am using the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Tempered Glass ATX case. And thank you!
Hey again, quick question. Im building a budget computer under 1000 dollars. And right i have got a little problem, im thinking about getting a skylake i3 6300. But i dont know if that will bottleneck the 1050 ti from msi. Would really appreciate a answer because i cant find any out here :)
Bottlenecking is pretty dependent on the games you'll be playing. Some games can use resources from either the GPU or CPU more effectively than others. In general, I would recommend squeezing out a little more money for an i5 instead. You'll benefit from the extra cores, and with a $1,000 budget (assuming USD), you should still be able to put something pretty nice together. You can allocate around $220 for the processor, $20 for a cheap air cooler, $100 for a motherboard, $75 for 16GB of RAM, $60 for an SSD (option to add additional storage later), $400 for a graphics card (I recommend a 1070), $50 for a 500 watt power supply, and another $50 or so for a case. This should put you in the neighborhood of around $975. You might be able to shave a few dollars for Cyber Monday sales, too. If you need extra money for peripherals or an operating system, you can drop the graphics card down to a 1060 for anywhere between $200-250. Let me know if I've missed anything or if you've got any questions. Good luck!
Thanks for the answer, you see i live in sweden where the tax for electronics is around 30%. Just a 1050 ti costs around 220 usd. And a i5 6400 costs 210 usd. ( Which is really annoying) But the games i want to play are games like Battlefield 1, Fallout 4, H1Z1, Metro last light, Steep and the newer triple A games. So im looking at adding 50 usd for a i5 or going for the i3. So would a i3 bottleneck these games togheter with a 1050 ti?
I think the i3 6300 and the GTX 1050 TI will compliment each other well. I don't believe you'll experience a CPU bottleneck particularly with those games, but I wouldn't expect to run at super-amazing framerates all the time without dropping some settings. If you stay with medium settings (maybe a little higher) at 1080p resolution, I think you should be okay. I understand that money will be a bit of a struggle with taxes, but I still recommend you aim for an i5 if you can make the room for it. Good luck!
do you need the hue in order to control the colors on the fans? (not synced)
are the fans in a push or pull configuration with the rgbs showing
Pun game strong. Sub earned man 👍🏻
Thanks!
is the light facing inside the case if its exhaust? or can it be used as intakes
that review was "fantastic" :D
Thanks!
You have good potential :) Keep it up !
Thanks, that's the plan!
I have bought one and I would like replace all my corsair fans to NZXT... however my question is would 6 fans fit into one channel in the NZXT + hub?! e.g. 6 fans and 3 Strips rgb would that be possible with hub using the NZXT+ to sync everything...
Six fans won't fit on one channel. NZXT's fan limit per channel is five, so if you want more, you'll need to forsake your LED strips completely, or get another HUE+ controller.
What will these fans do if I connect them directly and not through a HUE controller? Will they shine at least with white color?
Tar the Dragon The fans have two inputs, if you only connect the fan header, it will only spin. The other connector fits into the HUE+ only, if it's not connected, you won't get any lighting.
could i plug these in to my current standard rgb light chain and just use the controller and remote i am already using? I do understand i would lose all cam software benefits.
No, the cable that controls lighting for the fans is a proprietary connector that will only work with the HUE+ unit.
I'm not sure if I'm just missing something here but how do the fans actually connect with the motherboard so that CAM can control them? Or if a Hue+ is used, where do they connect on the Hue+? Is there a USB header or something?
EDIT: nvm found the manual: www.nzxt.com/uploads/download/attachment/600/Aer_RGB-manual-092116-ver2.pdf
Yep, it's all done through the HUE+ (required), which connects to the motherboard via internal USB.
You get me subcribing for a lot of input in many puns which had little outcome: That's how economics work 👍🏻
Thanks, LOL
