Note: The minimum voltage to start the fan is 5V. We recommend our users to set
the fan speed to High if you choose to connect the fan to a fan control device.
A fan-controller regulates the fan speed by varying the voltage to it. The voltage
may start as low as 4.5V to 5V. Connecting a TriCool™ fan set on Medium or Low
to a fan-control device may result in the fan not being able to start.
The Optional 120mm Fan for Graphic Cards
The Fusion Remote Max comes with a 120mm
fan bracket with built-in full length PCI cardholder.
Remove the HDD bracket and the metal piece
separating the HDD chamber as shown. Install a
120mm fan into the bracket and install the fan
assembly to the case as shown. This fan will blow
the air across the graphic cards. (see picture 3)
The Bottom Air Intake
There are intake vents at the bottom of the case
right under the HDD chamber and power supply chamber. Cool air will flow into
the vents around the hard drives, and then flow into the motherboard chamber and
exhaust by the 120mm and 140mm TriCool™ fans.
Note: Do not place the Fusion Remote Max on a soft surface or over anything that
will block the bottom air vents.
The Upper Air Intake
There are vents on the top panel above the PCI expansion slot. Cool air will flow
through it into the motherboard chamber to cool the VGA card.
Note: Do not place anything on top of the Fusion Remote Max that will block the
top air vents.
The Rear Air Intake
There are vents right above the rear I/O panel and on the PCI expansion slot cov-
ers to bring in cool air to the CPU and VGA card.
The Air Guide
There is an air guide right between the rear 120mm fan and the rear air intake
vents. This is an important part of the ventilation design of this case. Adjust the
Air Guide by adding or removing stacking sections to best suit the location of your
CPU on the motherboard. This will force the cool external air that is coming in
through the rear intakes to be directed to the graphic cards and CPU to enhance
cooling of those components.
The Power Supply Air Intake
Power supplies with 120mm fans or larger can get air directly from outside of the
case through vents on the left side.
Note: Please leave at least 1” (2.5cm) between the left side of the case and
anything that could block airflow to the power supply. This is required in order
for the power supply to have sufficient cooling. For users who choose the use a
power supply with an 80mm fan, fresh air will come from the bottom air intake.
