check the link in the video description for more details this is the grid from NZXT and
0:16
it's either going to be the most completely fraking irrelevant thing in
0:19
the world to you or it'll pretty much save your bacon at
0:24
some point what it is is it is a way to add an NZXT feature that they already
0:28
put on some of their es such as their higher end Phantoms as well as their
0:33
switch 810 and add it to pretty much any
0:37
case so yeah yeah Phantom 630 and switch 810 blah blah blah capable of Etc white
0:42
LED indicator lights and includes fan exension cables this is it it comes with
0:46
an instruction guide which is pretty straightforward if you need instructions
0:50
to operate this sort of thing then um we'll do an unboxing on how to tie your
0:54
shoes later which I know I've made that joke before but I still think it's funny
0:58
and what it is is it is a fan splitter so basically you run power to it this
1:03
way by running one Molex connector to a
1:06
single input here unfortunately it's three pin only and doesn't have an extra
1:12
dummy slot for a four pin fan which I would love to see in a sort of second
1:17
generation grid grid two if you will and splits it out into 10 fans which I
1:23
personally think is awesome it obviously won't allow you to monitor RPM in any
1:28
meaningful way but what it does do is it allows you to at least power the bloody
1:32
things and let's face it if you have need for a splitter for 10 fans you're
1:36
probably not too worried about one fan failing taking down your entire system
1:41
anywho in terms of accessories they include some double-sided 3M tape in
1:46
order oh no look at that double-sided 3M velcro it's not velcro it's dual lock
1:53
huh oh that's cool it looks like it doesn't wear out like velcro it's just
1:57
little like plastic nubbins that interlock with each other anyway sorry I
2:02
should be focused on the grid all right it also includes three fan extension
2:05
cables and by three I mean three yes good three and these do include a couple
2:11
of adapters so you can plug a four pin fan into the three pin grid using these
2:16
extension SL adapters and then one of them is just a straight three pin to three pin extension and that is pretty
2:20
much it zip ties okay guys if you know
2:24
you need it then you know you need it and it's relatively inexpensive which is
2:27
really cool it's also nice and small so you can just like hide it somewhere
2:30
here's my trademark cell phone size comparison although my cell phone has a
2:34
case on it so it tells you nothing don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips
