Couple Questions About CoolerMaster Centurion 5 Case

[GeeFizzleDizzle]

I'm considering buying one of these cases and I was wondering if anybody used this case with an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 mobo?

I'm concerned about the front panel HD and Power LED connectors. With the case I'm using now (a 4-year old Chenming Dragon) I am unable to connect the Power LED because the Dragon uses a 3-pin plug and the ASRock mobo wants a 2-pin plug.

I want to know if this will also be a problem with the Centurion 5.

Also, how well does the Centurion 5 cool just using the stock 120mm rear and 80mm front fans?

Thanks.

I used this case to build a system for my mother, and used an ASUS P5RD1-V motherboard. The online manual for the board shows a two-pin PWR LED plug and a two-pin IDE LED. I also don't remember any compatability issues when building the system, so I think the ASRock board should be fine.

As for cooling, it keeps a Prescott P4 cool (with a Thermaltake Silent-775 heatsink) so I can't imagine it having a problem with any AMD chip.

SPCR's review of the case noted that the 80mm was a bit on the noisy side, so you might want to replace it with a Nexus, Panaflo, or other fan. Some Acousti silicone polymer fan mounts wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks for the info, Pyrokinetic.

I'll definitely look into swapping out that 80mm fan if it's too noisy.
