Hey I was wondering if anyone with this case would tell me if the top lid sits flush with the aluminum outer casing?
Mine has always been off by a mil or so as you can see here.
Not a huge problem, just wondering if it is a fault or this is normal.
Has anyone seen pics of an FT02 with an AX1200 installed? Wondering about the PSU fan - vent alignment as well.
I guess I'll find out tomorrow when my FT02 gets here
BTW, nice one Sylar
I've had the AX1200 installed in my red one, but I returned it too. Noisy hum to the unit. The only thing is the fan is more centered to the exhaust and the wires come down a bit for easy reach, but JGuru is right, the contrast of wire type (flat and non) is not as nice as uniform. So pick a side with wires Corsair...
Mine's perfectly flush.... weird.
Looks like I'll be buying this case in the near future, only thing that has me concerned is the Hard Drive cooling, could anyone share their HDD temps with the AP181 fans? Thanks
Just to confirm others' posts, my new ft02b-w from amazon came last week with the ap181 fans too.
Do the AP181 fans have the "honycomb fan cover"???
It looks like they don't.
The AP181 don't need the honeycomb cover. The spiral grill does what the old honeycomb cover did, and it does it better.
Are the AP181 also slightly thinner then, since they lack the honeycomb???
I have a Corsair AX850 (which we all know is a rebadged - essentially - seasonic). I had to remove the fan grill to have it fit flush in the case, though it obviously still doesn't line up with the vent. Doing this makes the velcro strap useless since it would touch the fan, so the PSU is only held up by the screws and the little plastic insert. Seems stable enough.
Like you though, I'm wondering about just turning it around and turning it into an exhaust, though I wonder if that's really healthy for the power supply. This is one of those PSUs that doesn't run the fan as much, so I think it might add to the noise if I turn it around so that the innards are getting exposed to the internal heat in the case.
Teiresias - when you say it still doesn't line up with the vent - what percentage blockage of the fan intake do you get? And did you ever try the reversed layout you mention?
