hey guys, just got my new lanfire case hooked up, temperature reader and all! its great, silent, pretty, and a lot better than my micro case.

Anyway, i had a few questions.

1. Where should i put the temperature probe, and what are the temperatures should i look out for. Of cource that depends on where you put it, but any info would help here, cuase right now i just have the probe inside the heatsink on my CPU, and its reading 100-105. But im not sure if thast good or bad, so its not helping much :P

2. The fan controller is hooked up correctly, i have the psu power into the fan contoller, then the fan controller hooked into the fan that i want to control. The only thing is, when I turn the nob to change the fan speed, i cant tell if its doing anything, its not getting quieter, so i dont know how to tell. Is the difference between min and max enough to where i can hear the difference? I put all 4 fans down to min, then back to max, and i cant hear a differece.

3. Do you think this cold cathode light would fill up the case with moderate amount of lighting? http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_i...oducts_id=3782

thank you for your time guys, really good case btw, very easy setup! The ONLY thing i am dissipointed about is that my old cd-rom drives wont fit in, but thats not the lanfire, thats because eMachines has retarted cd rom drives, and they dont fit :P but that was my fault. Otherwise, 10/10! And the Thermaltake Silent Purepower Butterfly PSU works great with it! Has plenty of connectors for all the fans you need for the case.

1. Most put the probe under the cpu but depending on your cpu you will not be able to. It comes with really thin wires you run through the pins. Using it on the back of gpu(gfx card) is also a popular place. As for temps, are you reading celcius of fahrenheit?

2. You should be able to hear some difference but not much. I remember that two connectors go to the psu and the rest you use for your fans. Double check them to be sure. Also if your case is anything like my 2000A was, removing the side fans will make a HUGE difference in temps. Try it out.

3. Yes, those wil be more than enough. I run one of those and its more than enough so two will be very bright.

4. Enjoy the sweet new case

ok cool thanks. I ordered those lights, free 2nd day shipping :P . I had a sound problem, seems that onboard sound wasnt working correctly, so i went and bought a Sound Blaster Live, and it works well. Im very happy with my purchase
