I decided to never buy one of their cases when he said to take pliers to a graphics card to make it a 90 degree angle. I'm not linus and cases dont just fall in my lap lol. Im not taking shit to my cards.
Max GPU PCB height is 120mm where you connect the pci e power cords. Max GPU Heatsink height is 135 mm So for example you can use Palit 980 TI it has 111mm pcb with 133mm gpu heatsink heigh . You can place Water Radiator 12mm on the FRONT TOP if you use ITX MB also you can use 12mm fans under the GPU on ITX MB. You can only use 92mm fans under the GPU with MATX MB . You cant use TOP radiators on MATX MB , only at front and you take space from and Air from the GPU.
This case is awesome,but the only problem is the side panels. At 6:50 you can clearly see that the side panels don't fit well. However,some members @overclock.net had addressed out the issue,and I had sent out a ticket for a new set. I think I will get the replacement a few days later.
Do you guys have any plans on releasing the 250D or 350D WITHOUT the 5.25" bay drives? These are by far the best looking cases, in my opinion. They are amazing cases, but I think you would be able to open up a large amount of options by freeing up that space in the front.
Q1: Can H100i mount on TOP? Q2: Max GPU length 290mm is already intalled H100i in front? Q3: If no fan or radiator installed in front what is the max length can fit in?
I'm still racking my brain trying to figure out how the dual GPU's operate in such close proximity to each other. I'm looking at the gap that I would potentially have and just looking at the pictures on your site of this build with dual GPU's and I can't figure out how this would work without one being hotter than the other
+Duan Dao The GPUs would be cool as long as the case itself is cool. The gpu fans just draw air in the case.The air 240 is quite good in keeping the case cool
I'm asking to my self, why put the radiator/CPU water cooling in the front of the case and push the heat into the case. it would be better if this heat is push at the top outside the box... tell me why what I say doesn't make sense please
Please show the final system for more than 2 seconds, also show one with the 3.5 inch drive case in place and get some 90 degrees connectors for the GPUS and see what happens...thanks
I really liked this build with the green fans and cables. but i wondered if you`re going to make a build with the Graphite 780T, cause i like that case alot, it looks very smooth and elegant but there is no video that shows the chase in depth.
Well, apparently a Msi 970 does not fit because it touches the glass. completely unrelated question: what material is the side panel and is is safe to cut a hole in?
It's most likely some kind of acrylic or hard plastic, if it was glass it would be much heavier and less flexible. You can probably cut a hole in it if you're careful, but I'm not 100% sure.
I just picked the new Fractal Designs Node 804. I looked at the Air 240, and the 250D but the Node 804 is more sleek looking, has better air flow, has room for 10 case-mounted fans, and 3 different radiators. And at the time I'm writing this, Newegg has the Node 804 for $69.99 instead of the normal $109.99
Since you were not using the 3.5 drive cage the 8pin power cable should have been routed from behind the motherboard tray in power supply section instead of being routed between exhaust fan and the top of the motherboard. I would like to see use of M.2 pcie card slot in some of these builds since its next gen technology.Good build otherwise.
You are using reference cards, which are nice but they are nowhere to be found for us. If I want to use an Asus GPU for example, will they fit (width-wise)? I mean, it looks like it wouldn't fit anything larger than 4 / 4.5 inches.. it would just hit against the side pannel/window.. and if it does not, the GPU cables would. Any thoughts? thanks!
It is something to keep in mind as the dual chamber design reduces the space available for the GPU. Overclock.net got a forum thread were some people discuss it and provide pictures, hope it helps ! www.overclock.net/t/1493314/guru3d-corsair-introduces-carbide-air-240-graphite-380t-and-780t/970
Hi, I'm trying my very first build with Corsair Air 240 case, and I'm stuck at the part where I have to mount the motherboard to the case. As my understanding, the standoffs are already placed into the case, am I correct? However, is it true that this case only comes with 1 screw to mount the mobo into the standoff? Where should I place that single screw? I'm using AsRock z97 pro4 mATX mobo btw
Is this really as easy as he makes it look? ive got a build in mind: sli gtx980 config - h100i - corsair air 240. similar to his. would this be incredibly hard for someone who has never built a computer before?
PLEASE HELP! I have a Gigabyte Z97P-D3 motherboard, and the ports on that mother board is not on the same side as yours, its on the "top" or whatever, sorry for my english. Im not sure if it fits since its on the other side, Will it fit? what can i do to make it fit/work ????? please help
Well structured video, good camera angles, and clear instruction. Can't ask for more! Thanks Corsair, I shall have fun building my friend's PC into this case this afternoon :)
+JohnCarryOn Doesn't seem so, and even if it was possible you'd probably do more harm than good. The additional airflow from below would only cool the bottom card and do almost nothing for the upper one. The front 120mm bottom fan would actually disturb the front - back airflow and make air blow above the upper card instead of between them. The cpu would maybe get cooled a bit better (in case of a tower cooler) but the SLI cards would be hotter instead and that already is a weakpoint in this configuration. I don't own the case so this is just speculation on my side.
Brayan Cordón if you mean those 4 tiny rubber feet. they should be in the accessories bag that is included with the case. at least that's what the RU-vid videos about this case said.
The Corsair guy should mention it, but you can only fit cards that are standard PCI height, any cards with coolers that extend above this you will struggle to fit, it's already a tight fit just to plug in the PCI power cables on the top of the card.
Was it something like this: www.amazon.com/Corsair-CP-8920055-Power-Cable/dp/B00BJOJ8G8/ref=sr_1_19?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450392541&sr=1-19&keywords=corsair+cables
Just built this. Let's see you try this video with an H100iGTX and HX850i PSU. Have fun with inflexible coolant tubes and power feeds. And, did you want to listen to your game? Too bad because your GPUs will insist on singing you the song of their people at max dB.
