(Part 2) Top products from r/Phanteks

> So... I think you're saying you don't need to drive anything but the LEDs built into the case, correct? And you specifically want to do it via software, not hardware?

Right. I was just asking whether the case lights (the 4 RGB strips and the RGB ring around the power button) can all be Y-connector-ed to one 12v header, or if that's too much to be putting on one header for voltage or current reasons. And yes, I want everything to be synced up in Aura.


> Generally, but isn't the JST SM connector 3-pin, rather than 4-pin? It is on my case, but it's possible you have something else.

The JST SM connectors coming out of the lights on my case are 4-pin, and Phanteks website (and Amazon) offers a cable that adapts this to the more standard 4 pin RGB connector. So it looks like I'll need two of those (the top cover and front panel lights are each already Y'd together, so you have one wire coming out of each) which I'll then Y together using a splitter with standard RGB connectors at both ends.


> I thought you meant general instructions for a wide range of hookups. If you just meant more comprehensive than they have now, I'd definitely agree with you.

I mean, even just a simple diagram of the RGB contoller's connections and a few notes about what the channels do would have been very helpful. I have no idea how this guy figured out what needs to be connected to what other than simple trial and error.

I just bought the Modmesh Pro RT series (for Seasonic PSU's) kit, so they are all just standard length from their website. There is a little slack behind the cable cover in the back, but not a ton. The only one that's really too long is the molex cable for the pump, and to get the DRGB and the fan hub, and the two drives, and the temp sensor I have is 5 sata power, and the default one comes with a 4 and a 2, so I had to use both, the 4 is a little long, but not too bad, though the 2 is obviously more than I needed for the 1 extra sata power.


And then I bought a couple of these for cable combs as they looked the most like the Cablemod ones: https://www.amazon.com/Pieces-24-pin-8-pin-Gesleeved-0-13inch/dp/B0756XF5ZQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=cable+combs&qid=1570029329&s=electronics&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExS0xMWExHMkhJMVlaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDQwNjI2MzY4Q0pBWDhDTjVYVyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTczOTg0MjdGWFRYRk8ySDZOWiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Okay, like you can see in my photos, I have the lux and the exact same Mobo. That adapter will work just fine.

If you want an adapter plus 2 LED strips that is another option as well.

Sure. Just like this 1. There are a few variants. Yes between psu and shroud.

I've only heard great things about the EVGA cables set. If i wasn't trying to save i'd be getting that instead of the Phanteks extensions.

​

EDIT: I got black and going for heavy white lighting and the cables are hopefully going to add a bit more visibility inside. Plenty of colors available from Phanteks and a few from EVGA too !

Did the change the fab hub from the old Evolv ATX? If so, that's a shame. I recommend this one if you plan to use a different one or go towards the splitter route.

Sure, it's this one from MountIt

Looks like it got even cheaper than when I bought it.

Oh gotcha. The one I saw on amazon was without a case.

I bought something like this to connect everything.

Yeah, but could you only use the one from them? What about the on from Thermaltake or did Phanteks made the holes so you can only use their?

I purchased 4 of these fans (3 in the front / 1 in the back) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFCRMSG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have all my pieces, my 2080 ti comes in today but still waiting for the case >:(

Well, i found the probem, it is the fucking fan-hub. The white header is kind of defect. I ordered five silent wings 3 140mm and every fan connected to the white header makes stranges noises and spins slower than the other four:

I ordered a fan-hub from amazon (deep cool) and now everything works like a charm.


I read that is fan-hub problem is very common on the evolv x, since the release. So did i get an old produced case or is phanteks lazy as shit? Damn, my nerves...
