Thanks Spyder! After work I'll do some more fine tuning and post some temp comparisons with and without the solid panel. Either way, you can consider this issue resolved :)

Thanks this all sound very sensible and I will do all the things... after some Helldivers 2... :P

🤣 Alright so the details: Left them all on AUTO mode as the RPMs were being reported, so figured it was working fine already. Stuck them all on 20% where they are still on and doing their jobs but it's low enough that they are barely audible. Incidentally, 20% appears to be where the RPM is...

@Scott

No you're right and luckily I came to the same conclusion and plugged em into CHA_FAN 2 and 3. Switching on now...

Tis a mystery! To be fair I have taken a fair bit of satisfaction in learning how some of this stuff works. I'll probably have a go at a build myself for the next PC. For now, looks like I have to remove the *expletive* front fans in order to get the cables into the right place... Anyway...

Did you have a solid top on? I feel like it wouldn't be as much of an issue if the case was more enclosed

Yeah that was a dead end. But at least I can now configure my 3 additional non-existent RGB fans. My first order of business as resident fan expert is to award myself with medal for participation and tell myself to go bleep myself. Politely.

I have to admit I got put off when, trying to add them manually, the software presented me with selection of RGB fan types to choose from, but maybe I should have selected one of them and seen where it would take me. I'll try one more time.

@Scott Ugh no dice with the corsair hub. They weren't picked up by the wizard and they are going at the exact same speed as far as I can tell. Doing some googling seems to indicate that 3 pin fans can't be controlled by the hub, presumably for the same reason (lack of PWM) I set both CPU fans...

Yep to both!

Thanks Scott, I will try the Corsair hub option first and report back.

@Scott No effect at all. Fan RPM unchanged after putting in DC mode, reducing to 20% power and saving and exiting and restarting. Back in BIOS again; no change.

@SpyderTracks

Sorry I did actually say that the front fans are connected to the 3 pin headers on the case controller. I've posted a lot and sounds like you are really busy so no worries if you missed that bit. So where we are is all 3 fans are connected to the nexus hub. The nexus hub is connected via the...
