Bot too sure of 140mm fans but the Bitfenix line sure looks promising, Would probably do 140mm all the way if the 410 is in my possession but maybe an LED strip would be advisable for bling bling, you could get the NZXT Hue for example

not all fans can have their LED turned off, The Bitfenix ones can be done but you'll need to pair it with a Hydra Pro or a compatible switch to do that

Bitfenix ones have a jumper that can be removed to turn off the LED's . very neat feature biggrin.gif

actually that jumper is meant to be paired with a switch like the BitFenix Hydra Pro can toggle on/off wink.gif

Yup, but just in case we dont have the fan controller, can always pull out the jumper ourselves biggrin.gif.

That's what i was trying to say in case he assume he needs the fan controller to control the LED's blush.gif

Guys, ive just got the prodigy japan edition, it came with 1 x 230mm red led fan , and a 120mm red led one. Problem is, i dont think these are the spectre series as they look cheap and have no jumpers for the LED, but instead a seperate lead for the LED ,

My question is whether i can conmect the LED leads together with a wire or something small , or does the LED need a seperate power source? Im totally lost as this isnt like the spectre specifications i thought

It is the spectre series. But not the spectre pro series

Thanks for the prompt reply, turns out its the spectre 'non pro' fans, got confused tongue.gif .

Problem is, there is no Lighting when it is plugged in, should i connect the 'FAN LED' +/- together like a jumper? smile.gif it does not come with one.. so i thought it was funny, as reviews of the spectre has pre-installed jumpers blink.gif

edit : went ahead and used a staple to bridge the leads, works like a charm smile.gif

Thanks for the hint! tongue.gif

i do not own a prodigy so i cant help much. but i think it must come with some sort of "thing" to help?

its very innovative and daring for u to try bridging them yourself. rclxms.gif for the sake of safety u should clarify with the seller though

unfortunately it does not come with guides for the fans included sad.gif .

however, bridging it has solved my problem . I think it was meant to connect to a hydra/recon fan controller to be able to control the brigtness biggrin.gif
