Note, as standard you only get two fans - AirGuide fans that cannot be purchased separately, BUT you can use the PWM controller to control upto 6 six fans. And if you connect that to a Commander Pro, you can control even more!

As you'll see, you can install 10 x 120mm fans (or 13 if you do push/pull) or 4 x 140mm fans. You also have the option to install as many as two 360mm radiators. But you can't install on the front and side at the same time.



Fans used in the case:
Corsair ML120 RGB Pro

Fans used on the AIO:
Corsair ML120 (these cannot be purchased seperately)
