For those that have been asking about the fan wire rubbing issue that the V1 had.... Castle has addressed this issue. For those unfamiliar with this, look at the following pic of a mmm v1;
The case was rubbing the wires bare and in some cases broke fan plugs off.
---Patrick said this would be addressed, and it was. Their solution was a foam pad that conforms to the electronics and prevents the wires and such from rubbing; |
DOnt get too excited about the padding. I know of a few white plugs that have already broken off on the V2. I just dremeled some of the material on the case bottom away below the plug and that other component so they cant rub and left the pad out. IMO the pad probably makes the problem worse by making less clearance between the components and the case bottom and putting even more pressure on them.
This is what the dremel job looked like on my V1. I just did the same thing on the V2 and left the pad out.
You still need to open up the spot on the top case where the controler and switch wires come out as well. Nothing chaged from V1 to V2. Still a tight fit and still rubbing the wires. Open up the slot on the cse a bit and wrap a few layers of electrical tape around the wires and its fine.
I also cut the fan grill out on the V2. The fan still catches on it when it turns on and kills the fan. It just lasts 3 packs now instead of 1.
As long as the BEC doesnt quit, they have done enough. The rest can be fixed ourselves. with 10 minutes and a dremel.
