If you move the fans for the 240mm radiator outside the chassis, would this move the radiator up enough to give you clearance for the 120mm radiator inside?
I'll be the first to admit that we've had some misses since I arrived at the company but we've also had some pretty substantial hits as well. You don't need to go any further than the [H] reviews of our recent products to see that we've been making strides to improve.
Change takes time. The...
Easy access. The feedback we got was that people like the door, but don't want to have to open it all the time to get to the power/reset. So, we figured if we move it up top, it gives them the door they want while also making the buttons more accessible. If we kept the lock (which we also did...
Component design has changed quite a bit. When the P180 came out, many power supplies were built with fans on the side, not on the top/bottom, which required a front to back airflow and the need to compartmentalize the heat generated by these less-efficient units.
Since we're now able to give...
It's an interesting concept. The only issue is that you'd need to roll it one of two ways - into an area where you'd normally want HDD/component access or into a space where people would expect to have space for cable routing.
We realized this was a problem and there's now a bit of a gap between the front bezel and the door to allow for increased airflow - about a half of an inch. Have a look on this page here:

Ventilation isn't completely cut off due to the door. There is a gap, allowing for air to be pulled in from the side. I'll see if I can't get an image of this for you.
If any of you have questions regarding the P280, I'll be checking this thread periodically.
I apologize for raising a dead(ish) thread but I just saw this through google and figured I'd respond.
While we never anticipate one of our KUHLERS to leak, we can understand this concern. As a company that has brought thousands of power supplies to market, we've got policies in place to...
I just wanted to drop in and say that coil whine is something that is certainly covered under warranty. If you decide that you would like a replacement, just let us know.
The rockus speakers haven't been discontinued. Reviews and customer feedback had a large part in bringing the MSRP down, and discounting them this much is just an effort to get people excited about the product and give them a try.
There are a few reasons for the fans to run at full speed:
You've plugged your fans directly into the motherboard
Your liquid temperature is so hot that it requires the full fan speed
The fan speed isn't as low as you anticipated. Even at its lowest speed, the pump will only drop the fans...
You're more than welcome to use whatever thermal paste you like, but the paste on there is a variant of Shin Etsu thermal paste that will perform well enough for the majority of users.
Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback. I've sent some of it back to the design team and hope to have some more information for you in the coming days as people get back from Taiwan.
You're correct. Your BIOS will report the pump speed, not the fan speed.
And if you've tried all of the above and are still getting temps that are out of whack, send me an email at [email protected] and we'll get it replaced.
We're still a ways away from final tooling and there are features that we aren't quite ready to talk about yet but you're right - many of the changes you're seeing here have been a long time coming.
Quick question - do you have the pump connection plugged into the CPU header on the motherboard and is the BIOS configured to run that header at 100%?
I'd try re-seating the pump if you have already confirmed the connection above.
Absolutely. We have no intention of leaving a customer out in the cold if one of our products (this goes for liquid cooling and PSUs) is responsible for the failure of other system components. This would fall under warranty service.
A lot of testing was done on the tubing to make sure it lasts just as long as the corrugated solution of previous products. We have full confidence in the 50,000hr MTBF.
We see these as desktop systems for people who don't have enough space for 5.1 or don't want to run wires. Think people with dorm rooms or a small desk area in their apartment.
If you get the tri-cool you linked above, it's not necessary to cut anything. The switch comes out pretty easy from the housing on the back of the case.
We can get you a replacement fan if you like - just create a support ticket on our site here: http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/index.php?page=support_online If you want to use the fan you linked, you certainly can do that as well.
The information you found was correct - removing the two screws...
Hey guys, we know not everyone has Facebook. This Facebook post was made out of necessity since our blog has been down for the last week. Thankfully it's back online so here you go:

I'm happy to hear you're pleased with the results. As far as your feedback on the instructions, it's pretty difficult to get all of that info onto a piece of paper. We'll be following that up with an install video shortly.
The software gives a decibel reading by taking data from a table. The idea is that we test a set of RPMs in the sound chamber and record the corresponding noise. Throw this in a table and when the software detects the fan at a certain speed, it extrapolates the noise level.
In short, the...
