Can I add a case fan to the secondary CPU fan slot if I am not using it? I don't want to accidently mess something up, if not.

Yes you can. It will be one pin short but as long as you line up the clip properly you will be fine

no fan is included whatsoever... and the fan that may fit is one of those not so available 50mm (10-15 mm thick). Those may become quite noisy! Considering this case has many vent holes you may want to skip that fan adventure and just settle for a good low profile (43mm high or less) CPU cooler, as most Intel stock coolers a re a few mm too tall for this case and AMD stock coolers are way too tall. another advise: I have not succeeded to run any AMD CPU in this case cool enough... all AMD CPUs (AM2.AM3,FM1, FM2) dissipate much heat, thus requiring a CPU cooler that is too large to fit in this case... and I did try quite a few. I have assembled five computers in an AM350 case, all with socket 755, 1155 and 1150. They all work fine without an added video card (as there is no space for such in this case)

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got.

Yes, you just have to unscrew the X that is in the center of the fan when you install it. I recommend you to watch a video in youtube about installing it so you can get what I am talking about more easily. Remember that the installation of the X type accessory in which the fan is mounted onto the motherboard has to coincide with the type of processor you have but that info is in the manual so don't worry

I have a case fan opposite my cpu and that still leaves about 3 iniches clearance. Make sure there is nothing on your motherboard that will interfere.

Sorry for the late reply. There isn't any space for a case fan. This thing is tiny :).

There is a set of prongs just below and to the right of the RAM card slots, labeled "sysfan1". If you want a second fan, you'll have to hook it up to your power supply. That's as far as I know.

In most cases, you only want the cpu fan installed directly to the motherboard, unless you are an enthusiast or just want it to run quietly.

Your best bet is to get a fan with a 3-pin connector and plug it into one of the "case fan" headers on your mother board, then you can set the speed/temp profile in your BIOS like you do for the CPU fan. You could also buy a 4-pin molex fan and plug it into the power supply as you mentioned. Last, you could get a Y adapter to run it off the 3/4-pin "cpu fan" header on the board but I would not suggest that.

You have a couple of options here. 1.Top fan can be use, with a splitter at the CPU head. However I did not. Because I want the CPU header to just control my H100i. 2. Find the nearest MB header, for top and bottom fan. That in itself depends on your board, and the number of headers, while trying to maintain great cable management. My setup is a h100i push/pull on top and a 120 mm fan on bottom. Hope that helps you out. Just remember that this case is a airflow dream. I love it. Filling all the slots, may not be necessary.

Yes, but. Depending upon your memory configuration and motherboard layout, you may only be able to use one fan on the cooler. Also, in my case, I had to remove one of the side panel fans. But it works every bit as good as my liquid cooled system, so I am quite pleased. (I was able to keep both fans on the cooler.)

Yes. There were 3 fans already installed in the case. One in the back top (small), one in the front bottom (large) and another on the top (large). The one on top actually has room for another one beside it, but with those three plus my cpu fan I didn't bother.

There's no need. Comes with the two 120mm fans installed with lights and the 200mm fan on the side. My PC runs cool as hell. There's no need for anything more than that. Grab the air cooled older master CPU cooler and you'll run optimal. This is the most amazing case. Build quality is superb. It looks so good.

We own a tower PC, but the fan slides into a slot in the tower n I can't see what's the difference between one unit from the other! The fan is just a fan! So why would it matter...it's only cooling the unit when on n I doubt the fan care whether it's connected to either systems. If I'm wrong, first check with the computer company if your so concerned. Ok

Yes you can put a fan in the front of the case. There is a dual fan assembly for the top of the case. Check with the case Mfr.. Very hard to find. It is thinner than most fan assemblies.

Oh, and do a push pull configuration with that hearsink and youll never have issues. I also recommend arctic silver thermal paste(one fan pushing over the heatsink, and one fan pulling and exhausting. Both fans will blow the same way)

Yes, you do, unless your case has a hole or an aperture right behind the mother board's rear socket plate. You have to remove the rear socket plate to put a new one -included- in which the Thermaltake Cooler is going to be anchored
