just build a new rig with the define r4, there are couple problems i want to get some 2 cents on

1) when i connect the included two fans to the included fan controller in R4, the fans worked fine at 12v mode, but when i turn it down to 7V mode, the computer would freeze, shutting down monitor however mobo and fans are still running, just that the system is not responsive. any ideas?

2) if i look at the noise dampening pads at the top very carefully, i can see that its not 100% sticking to the top of the grill, thus there are tiny air holes at the side of the noise dampening pads, is your define r4 the same way? i mean it sticks to it pretty well, and the air holes are quite tiny.

Thanks~

I'm a bit late but I have the same issue, contacted Fractal, they sent me a new fan switch and the issue remains. I've also had issues with the front usb ports freezing my system as well.

Hi chromefinch! I have the same problem as yours! Did you solve it? I really don't want to send it back since its size is huge, and probably I need to pay the shipping.
