JMak00 got a reaction from Sirgadd in TT RGB PLUS Ecosystem Overview (Hardware/Software)
One suggestion ThermalMike and TT...don't make two different connectors for the same fan. I have the View 37 ARGB along with 3x120 and 3x140 Pure Plus fans on the way and I found out today that I am returning all of it. That is because the Pure Plus fans on the View 37 ARGB will not connect to the fan controllers that come with the 3x120 and 3x140 Pure Plus fans. I cannot express my frustration and anger about this. I spent months looking at and comparing cases and fans before settling on this only to realize the day before receipt that TT decided to use different connectors on the fans that come with the View 37 ARGB case than those sold separately despite being the same fan. And absent scrolling down the Design page to see a small pic of a integrated case controller, none of the promo pics of the case at Amazon, Newegg, or even in the gallery on the TT page displays this controller. Why would a consumer even think that one Pure Plus fan would not connect to the controller sold with other Pure Plus fans?
To make matters worse, TT customer service wouldn't let me just send them the fans from the case and swap in regular Pure Plus 20s + 1 Pure Plus 12 fans with regular connectors.
Even more irritating, if I want to buy the View 37 RGB, well, it costs more than ARGB at the moment.
I've only ever bought TT cases, PSUs, fans, etc., but after this experience, I may need to move on.
Maybe Mike or the customer service team might see this and contact me to see what we can do.

I can't see any reason why they would plug into the 9 port sync controller but not the 5 port controller. Perhaps he bought the 9 port controller because the included 3 button controller allows motherboard software control of lighting but only supports up to 3 addressable devices?
But with how screwy things turned out with the stock fans in the View 37 ARGB you originally wanted, I would definitely confirm with support first if the fans in the View 37 RGB can be used with the 5 port hub included with fans sold separately.

I'm looking at that case more, and it appears the included fans don't have the standard 9 pin USB 2.0 cable that comes when one buys the fans separately.
If you haven't already, try getting on the phone with ThermaltakeUSA to see they can figure out a way to get all your equipment working together. You could also try contacting @ThermalMike on here for some help.

JMak00 got a reaction from adelinevoc in Core V31 - rubber grommets needed
Hey Tt forum readers.
I bought the Core V31 case and absolutely love it! I'm starting to work on improving the look of the interior space and cable management.
The motherboard tray came with two grommeted holes along the bottom; however, there are several holes that came without grommets.
Has anyone found rubber grommets to fit the remaining motherboard tray holes? If so, can you provide a link, please?
Thanks in advance.
PS - is there a V31 owner's thread that I just haven't found?

Hi...
I have a XFX R9 280X gpu that is 292mm long and it fits in the v31, but only if the hdd rack is in the bottom location. My gpu is about 2mm too long in order to place the hdd rack in the middle position.
Hence, your gpu will fit in the v31 with the hdd rack in the bottom or middle position.
If you want to put a fan on the bottom of the case below the hdd rack, then hdd rack has to be moved up to the middle position and you'd want to do that if only to avoid the hdd rack blocking that air movement.
The v31 is a great case, imo, because it is modular and has plenty of cable mgmt space. The only thing I dislike is that not all cable mgmt holes are grommeted. That one, really inexpensive thing would greatly improve the value in this case.
Good luck...
