They are 140mm fans, Noctua ULN 140 800rpm max.

I can take measure the distance from case floor to 140mm fan if that would help.

Re: Fractal Design Core 500

f a 140mm intake fan is mounted towards the front will the fan be fully vented or is it partially covered? A 140mm fan is roughly 5.5 inches in diameter, I measured the length of the top vent and it equals 10.5 inches. There might be up to .25 inches of each fan covered but the mounting is adjustab...

Re: Fractal Design Core 500

Received the case last night. Initial impressions: For the price it is great and the steel is much thicker than expected and solid. I am impressed that the beveled edges of the front panel are actually vented and not just for looks. Only cons that I can see right now would be there is little cable m...

Re: Fractal Design Core 500

I have one of these cases on order and it should arrive this week sometime. Awesome, would love to hear your impressions. Out of curiosity where did you order from? The only place I can find it in stock in North America is NCIX and they are notorious for showing items in stock when they are not and...

Re: New member asking [advice]

Thanks for the information! So I picked up a i5 4690k for $130 so I am going to use that CPU instead now. I am also torn between using a Strix 750ti or using a Strix GTX 960 for graphics since there is only about a $40 difference between the cards. 750ti = 60w GTX 960 = 120wish The Lian Li case has ...

Re: New member asking [advice]

I sold my 605W PSU.

I am currently looking at two.

Would you recommend the Corsair RM450w or the Seasonic 400w fanless?

After looking into this, I am going to go with this card for sure. Thanks for the recommendation, this is exactly what I was wanting.

Re: New member asking advise

The EVGAs are easily among the loudest branded 750Tis in the wild Thanks for the info on the EVGA card. I looked for the KalmX Passive version as well, but couldn't find any listed for sale? I would be interested in that card if I could find one and if it did not run too hot. Yes, I do need a mothe...
