what exactly is the dual line cm fans. I went on the storm scout site and they recommend these: http://www.coolermaster.com/products...detail&id=6037
Dont know if they are dual line or not

yes. I believe these are the ones that you can control the lights with. The small square plug is the light switch wires and they should plug into the wireing harness in the back.

What you mean at the back, is it not possibe to do it at the front where the button is, so that when i press that button all the fans turn off.

Enigma8750 · 07-05-09

Yes it is possible.. .. the wire from the switch comes down and plugs into all the fans of the unit. That is where you will plug this one. It half way up the back of that wire harness in the back of the Scout.

The yellow and black molex plug is for just the fan blades and the other switch plug is around there but not able to be seen from this view but that controls the lighting circuit.

is the top fan supposed to light up?
Beucase the top fan has the dual molex but i only plugged in one
i love the whole turning off the lights
but the lights are dim and the window is tinted you barley see light lol

So there is a wire that comes down from the light switch button. And the led fans connect to this wire. So they need seperate wire for led and not combined with the power right?. Also is there any free connectors on the wire from the button, so you can it can control the extra led fans.

The ones that control the light are the tiny 2pin connectors. Using the adapter that comes with the R4 doesn't work.

I think there is only 2 number of fans that can be controled by the led button.

That I don't know but if you have to hand wire it just match all the wire colors from the switch circuit. I would say your best bet is to take your switch wires and put them together into one wire at the fans. Then send that one plug back to the the wire harness in the back. It will make it easier to pull the side panel. Also if you could find some quick release plugs to mound low in the case you would make it easier for you take off the side panel for upgrades. Otherwise you will have to take off the back panel first and then unplug the light switch and then remove the front side panel.

I think that your right. abdidas but a quick trip to radio shack will fix all that in about an hour.

So coolermaster did not include a option to control the led on/off of the side fans. So it can only be done by wiring.
