Question 1

Is the RGB programmable?

Accepted Answer

I was able to control it through MSI Mystic Light after I downloaded MSI Dragon Center for my motherboard. An additional ARGB control & USB module can be installed at the side of the front panel to provide better control over the front ARGB fans. The ARGB control & USB module offers the option to create custom lighting styles by mixing the light effects of both LED channels individually. It's like $14 and it comes in both black and white options.

Question 2

Should the pcie fan exhaust or intake? Is it the same with two fans at bottom of case as intake? Not sure if should be exhaust pulling air away gpu

Accepted Answer

If you’re referring to the optional rear fan over the expansion slots, personally I think it’s a bit of a gimmick and doesn’t really do much.  But if you want to use it, install it as an exhaust fan.  If you watch the Gamer’s Nexus review video they mention that.

The bottom fans should be intakes.  The bottom fan over the power supply is somewhat restricted, so I only installed the bottom center fan.  It actually supplies more than enough air for the GPU above it.

Question 3

how many fans can be installed on the top of the case?

Accepted Answer

I have had a 280 mm cooler with two 140 mm fans in the top.  Two 140 mm fans do not fill the opening so a cover is needed, and included, to cover the gap left open.  I now have a 360 mm cooler with 3 120 mm fans.  It is a perfect fit.  This is an exceptional case for fan mounting and excellent ventilation.

Question 4

Is there no vertical gpu mount?

Accepted Answer

YES, it can be vertically mounted.  The PCI expansion slot opening in the back can be removed and rotated 90 degrees to accomodate a vertical GPU.  Extra mounting hardware will be needed of coarse.  BUT if you do this you lose the ability to use ANY remaining PCI slot expansion modules, because the vertical GPU takes up that space.
