Mike - has Seasonic provided a sample, yet...or is one expected sometime soon? :D An early pre-production sample of the 750W model but I am under NDA to stay mum. I've been told retail samples will be here by the end of the month. It is very impressive, clever technology and robust build. Helllllll...

Could I just buy 2 Y splitters and plug one of them into the other splitter? That would leave me 3 outlets for my 3 slipstream fans

Then I could connect the end to a Zalman Fanmate 2 and control all 3 Slipstreams with it

Does there exist such a thing as a 3pin 3 way splitter cable?

You know how they have 2 way Y splitter cables for 3 pin fans

Do they have a 3 way splitter cable for 3 pin fans?

If so, have a link? I can't find one for sale :(

My X58 board has 4 headers that are controllable by bios, and I only have 3 Slipstreams so I'm good there. I was thinking of getting three Zalman RC56 (7V) Noiseless Resistor Cables just to ensure that they are running around 890RPM according to the SPCR review. 7V is the sweet spot for the 1200RPM ...

Trying to control case fans with BIOS

I have 3 1200RPM Scythe Slipstream case fans hooked up to the CPU, CHASSIS, and PWR fan headers on my EVGA X58 SLI LE motherboard so that I can control them with the bios. My problem is, why does the bios stop telling me what RPM they are running at once they go under 1000RPM? I can set the manual s...

Be careful plugging in multiple fans into a single header. Most mobo fan headers max out around 1amp, though some go higher. If you exceed the capacity of that header, you will blow it. You can always splice the 4-pin molex wires together or get a couple molex splitters. I don't know how to splice ...

Wait for the new Seasonic 80Plus Gold certified PSUs

The fans in them aren't supposed to even turn on under 20% load.

I'll be switching out my noise Modu82+ 625 with one when they come out.

Arrrrgh why all this talk of Slipstreams needing to be re-lubricated? I was going to buy some, but now I'm not so sure.

Do the slipstreams really push more air at a given RPM than any other case fan?

The stock fans my case came with are much too noisy at anything above 5V.

I'm going to go with the 1200 Slipstreams and some silicon mounting plugs.

The FrozenCPU 88 thermal compound roundup found AS5 to be on of the top five A+ TIMs, still after all this time.

I tried other TIMs like IC Diamond and Thermalright Chill Factor, but ended up going back to my trusty AS5.

Hi Kuba

This same problem happened to me with my Modu82+ 625, I had to RMA it.

Recently the fan is making noise again and my Modu82 buzzes loudly constantly now.

I will never buy an Enermax again after this. I should of stuck with Seasonic. :/
