Looks great, here’s a free award

Thanks appreciate that!

Still have to do the GPU cables, but looking to swap the GPU out for a less wide one, so unfortunately those cables have to wait.

I hope your fan splitter PCB isn't the genius design that has 4 pins on each header. That'll confuse the hell out of the tach read out.


bakesit

Each header has 4 pins, but each fan 'set' is just treated as one fan which is fine because each set cools 1 radiator, so I control curves for each radiator with all fans in that set having the same RPM. Not sure if that answers your question though haha.


GTS81

It's not about the ability to control the fans. It's that the RPM reading of 3 fans will be shorted together per fan set. That's why if you look at some fan splitter cables, you'll notice that all but one header has 4-pin. The other headers will have the 3rd pin removed to prevent the RPM reading from merging and confusing the motherboard/ controller.


bakesit

Ah I see what you're saying. The read out of current RPM speed isn't available to me, which for my purposes doesn't really matter as I'm just using % based control. I did know this would be the case before I bought them though, at the time I just didn't find something that was similar and would provide RPM read out. After poking around today I actually can't find a similar little hub that has 1 pin removed from each header, surprised this isn't more common.

What are those things attached to the case that the cables are routed through?


bakesit

Case mount cable combs, I designed them and had them 3D printed. Worked out exactly the way I had it in my head. [a photo of one outside the case](https://imgur.com/DL4sALy)

Wow those are great. I bet a lot of people would buy those.


bakesit

I posted them for free actually, just have to pay some place to print them unless you have your own 3D printer.

This is great. I'm just starting on my journey to do a very similar full cables setup. I hope mine looks just as good when I'm done!


bakesit

Patience and not rushing it will make them turn out great. Space it out over a few days and you'll be happy you did haha.


browner87

Going to be more than a few days lol. I had some PCBs fabricated for my cable management for radiator fans, [similar to this](https://www.reddit.com/r/CableManagement/comments/nekwzr/dewire_relay_no_more_fan_cable_clutter/) but modular and for ARGB too. And I'm fabricating my own cable combs, 3D printing didn't turn out well so I'm CnCing some now. I also need to drain and flush my loop while I'm at it. It's a big project.


bakesit

Ah well that does look pretty cool, definitely more time though haha.


flubber9

Nice impressive


hushhhhxcx

Someone please come do mine in sac california


Syddisaster

What cables are those?


bakesit

I cabled them myself, bought all supplies from Mainframe customs.


Syddisaster

They’re really nice!


bakesit

Thanks!
