Upgrading my case need help

Nickz_16 · Nov 29, 2017

So as the title says i am upgrading my case but need some help
I currently have the MS-TECH Hornet case and the airflow is really not good for my system and therefore i am upgrading to a P7C1 Aerocool case which looks much better and has more fans.

Old case - http://www.ms-tech.de/ger/index.php/product/detail/pdcid/87/pdid/255

New case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M0LXZ90/?tag=pcp0f-21

The issue with this new case is i seen a comment saying it does not actually come with the 3 120mm front fans or lighting strip but i do not care for that really so what would i need to buy for the front of this case to fit with my current setup (found below)

CPU: I7 4790K
GPU: Zotac gtx 970 dual fan
MOBO: H81M-E34
Ram: 16GB @ 1866mhz

wanted to also ask will i need any of them fan splitter things to make all 3 compatable with my mobo if i do please link what i need and where does a HDD go in this new case i bought as i see it has no HDD bays?

EDIT - Can i put a fan on the top of the case aswell?

Thanks much in advance

Thanks for the reply so if i bought 3 of these fans those would work fine in the front of the case with a splitter like this one here for the motherboard.

This case also isn't the tempered glass one and in the images on amazon it doesn't actually show any HDD bays which had me confused a little like do i need to buy that bit seperately?

https://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/project7/case-p7/p7-c1 your model with fan hub and here is the manual link for it at the bottom of the page .

oh awesome does that work the same way as the splitter would plug 1 cable into the mobo then the 3 fan cables into that?

will the fans above work aswell with that?

scout_03 · Nov 29, 2017

this is how you plug it in the system https://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/project7/case-p7/p7-c1/p7-c1-how-to-ensure-pwm-hub dont plug in the cpu fan use the motherboard header for this one .

Thanks for that i think i get how it works so any fan will work with it yes like the ones above or do i need to find ones compatable with that hub?

scout_03 · Nov 29, 2017

they will use 3 pins fans also the motherboard could control one pwm fans and 3 x 3 pins fans also .

Thanks

I would like to ask aswell if i was to put in a light strip to the front is there a guide thing on that aswell (don't see it in the manual) and what would you recommend i buy for that i don't know where it would plug into lol

Lastly so what fans do come with this case is it just the rear 1 or do the top 2 come with it aswell?

come with one back fan and a connector for led strip check on what it is in the box .
