this one, seems to be working great, the first one I got was defective. Nothing major but one of the fan ports was missing a pin! I just got the last piece for the build in today about to try to cable manage with me luck haha

Same fan, same dimensions, yours is just RGB
Could you link me to the exact model of 180mm fan you have in your case? I think it might be thinner than the one in my PC.
I just attempted to slide my Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 into the case, and it seemed thoroughly impossible. The fan appeared to be so thick that the GPU itself couldn't even slide past the I/O gap thing.
I assumed by the design and look of the fan that it was the same one as mine, but I might have been wrong, and if I was, the Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 is too large, and I will need to return it in favor of another, smaller 4090.
For comparison, here is the link to the fan I have. If it's thicker than yours, then that explains it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GLCZVST
If you're wanting to remove ALL dust... the only solution is to disassemble the whole rig and clean each individual component.
Use a dry microfiber cloth to clean things like SATA HDDs and SSDs, case and cables.
For things like GPU and motherboard... an anti-static brush designed for electric components is best, followed by compressed air or a vacuum.
About once a year, I tear apart my system to give it a deep clean.
With the bare chassis, I take it outside and just spray it down with a hose and use a detailers brush. You can find a package of different brushes from Amazon for like $10 that come in different sizes; like so... https://www.amazon.com/Detailing-Brush-Set-Different-Automotive/dp/B07PKT21PR
And then just use any towel you want to dry it out and leave it in the sun for an hour to dry any remaining water, or again compressed air.
If you're not wanting to tear apart your rig and just want to dust it, dont worry about missing some spots. Its not going to harm anything other than the appearance and i doubt people are going to bother getting close enough that a missed spot is going make them hate your build.
A simple electronics brush and a vacuum or compressed air will do the bulk of what you need.
For dust filters, I run mine through the sink.
Definitely Define 7. Hard drives do not need tons of air to keep them cool. Just put a wall of 120mm fans up front. For the fans I would stay away from high static pressure fans, you don't have a radiator with tons of resistance, you need general case fans. I also wouldn't recommend getting Noctuas, they're good, but they're too expensive, I'd go with Scythe Flex instead https://www.amazon.com/Scythe-Sealed-Precision-120mm-300-1200/dp/B0763TSZ59
I have Define 7 with 3950x and 12 hard drives in similar configuration, three 120mm fans up front at around 1100RPM and three 140mm exhaust fans at roughly 600-900rpm depending on CPU temperatures. Extremely quiet and no problems with any of the temps even under near 100% cpu load.
For reducing the idle noise and seeks of a 16 TB WD Red (7200 RPM), the hard rubber Fractal grommets aren't nearly as effective as the soft and thicker silicone grommets that came with my Antec P180 and P182 cases. They fit the Fractal drive trays perfectly, and I'm using them instead of the supplied ones. I recently looked for alternative hard drive grommets out of curiosity, and I didn't find anything better than these, which are thinner and I suspect firmer than the Antecs:

On silentpcreview.com, people talk about "E-A-R grommets" and ordering from mcmaster-carr.com, but from what I could tell, they're the same as the ones I linked from Amazon.
Hey dude.
I ended up buying 2 of these sata extensions. They are working really well with 10 x IronWolf 10TB drives so far
I dunno if I trust myself. Ended up getting these

Unfortunately not, M3 is 3 mm in diameter and UNC 6-32 is closer to 3.5 mm.
These from the same seller will work however;
https://www.amazon.com/HONBAY-Phillips-Replacement-Repairing-Maintaining/dp/B074886TZR/
Just keep in mind to be a little bit extra careful when fastening the last little bit, since these are grooved on the underside and might prematurely wear out the grounding pads on the motherboard if too much force is applied.

Based on the comments in this thread in the Asus forums, it doesn't sound like your motherboard will directly support ARGB devices like the LED strip in the Torrent or ARGB fans. You may want something like the Cooler Master ARGB fan controller.
It really depends if its older stock or not from where it was purchased. On that page they say they'll provide one for free if it doesn't have one by contacting support.
If you need one faster then they can provide one, that cooler is an asetek model so the standard asetek kit will work as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JR7NY5H/ref=twister\_B087QR46NC?\_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Do you remember which PCI slot fan bracket you bought? I'm looking at this one but the reviews on it say the holes on the mount don't always line up with the fan's holes
Hey there, Ive used a couple different options but ended up with the below. I have an EVGA 3080 ftw3 ultra, and the cooler is not nicely rectangular. Therefore, solutions screwing into expansion slots DID NOT work even remotely well. While your GPU may work with those... I don't like them. Do you know how your GPU will be shaped in 7 years? I highly doubt it'll be any thinner!

this case might be too small for you. unless you dont OC the gpu.
Alder lake runs stupid hot from all the reviews i saw, even noctua stuff is having a hard time cooling it. so that should be your priority. You should also consider the shroud on your GPU.
You can also use something like this...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076VNB7TN/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but yeah, CPU should be your priority
I agree with the other poster who said don't use the fan hub, just buy a couple of splitters like this and run your bottom fans and front fans from 2 different motherboard headers. And your CPU cooler directly into the motherboard as well. The front fans need to be operated at way lower % than everything else so you will want independent control of that.
Looks like there's a seller on Amazon.com who sells these (too expensive tho) which is a good sign for a restock soon. here's the listing

the whole front IO assembly on amazon for $26
The cable is a bit longer than the one from the B-20. I had to push away the cables from the back of the card a lot. It might be better to purchase this model in the right size: https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-RX6900XT-High-Speed-Gen4%E2%94%83Universal-Compatible/dp/B093HLXQJD
Thanks, spent a bit of time with the design.
I bought one on amazon, wanted to be able to return it.
If I was gonna grab one from alliexpress i was gonna go for this 14'' model.
