Review on Phanteks PH FF140RGBP_BK01 Halos Density Mounting by Maurice Vianes

Slightly understated recessed lighting is all I wanted. It should glow evenly on dark blades behind tinted glass. A touch of the world. Difficult. With taste. That's all I wanted. Instead I got the headache of my life and it all depends on the connectors. They can be daisy chained, but each fan appears to be wired to receive and transmit, requiring two different heads on the cable instead of a double ended cable. An elegant cable management solution is therefore not possible in the housing world with housings that are glazed on all sides. The heads are too big to fit in the mid-body channels, although there is no second problem. The length of these cables just doesn't match the distance they have to travel from the front of an average ATX. to the middle or back of motherboard for RGB connection. Because of the daisy chain design, you often don't have the full length of the cable to stretch it. The lighting is mostly directed towards the front of the case, there is little point in placing a less bright light in the middle of the case where the LED strips play a major role. Given that the most aggressively designed cases are mid-ATX and up, and the smaller cases don't have a large cable management case, I just don't understand why they went with this design. By the way, about the mysterious design. I've been looking for a way to power these damn things for almost a month! I have a Silverstones RGB controller which is a 3 pin recessed header so I can't even customize it but I have 4 pin RGB headers on my motherboard for aura syncing. I bought a cable to match the pins but the Phanteks connector refuses to create friction to hold the extension in the connector. Phantek's Aura Sync Adapter for Proprietary Connector isn't available from Amazon and isn't listed on their own website, so I assumed they discontinued it. Even if this were the case, many are reporting that the RGB signal and power wiring are reversed in Phanteks products. So the cables look like crap no matter what you do, they're short so you can't run them too far behind the case, they don't play well with other RGB controllers, they don't sell adapters, the phanteks controller has about those performs the same function as a single header on a motherboard and is infinitely less system friendly, and they require additional clearance above the front fan mounts where the front panel would normally be. the densest. How should I use this product? Not even suitable as a stand because of the hole in the middle.
