Fan LED Switch

Forum CPU & Components : Power Supplies, Cases & Mods Fan LED Switch

Hello everybody, new to the forum! :hello:

So I've decided on my first build but I have a problem with the case I have chosen - Antec 1200. The front three 120mm fans' LED cannot be switched off. So is there anyway that I can modify it to switch them off? I don't want to cut off the LED wire because I want to be able to switch them back on easily. Sorry if this is a stupid question, total noob here...

Thanks!

If the fans have no switch, than there is no way. Except for building in your own by cutting the wire and smoldering a switch in... or replace the fans with some that have a switch.

So if I could find 120mm fans that have LED switches and replace them with the stock fans the provlem is solved? If so, do you know any fans that are like this?

Mhm, depends on where you live, aka which fans are available to you. For instance Enermax LED Fans have a switch to choose color, LED mode and Off switch. BitFenix Spectre Pro have an On/Off Option, too.

There are probably more. Just look at the description and images of those fans. Might need some research here and there on your part.

You should add a separate fan thathttp://www.collegefun4u.com/track.php would be better
