    There doesn't appear to be any fan grills or openings to allow for mounting of any fans. I personally wouldn't place a fan into this unless there's native mounting.
     
    However, you could always mod the case.

    Corsair Blake got a reaction from basToRNutO in Looking for a Watercooling Case   
    Hello, I'd just like to chime in here with some of the reasoning you've stated. I respect your opinion but I believe you've been misled somewhere.
     
    As long as your radiator is 30mm or thicker, you just need some fantastic static pressure fans that sit around 400 - 600 rpm and it will be fine. The hot air rising theory doesn't really apply in custom water cooling as much as people believe. Yes, it does happen, but all it takes to counter act this is A SINGLE rear exhaust fan. This is only important in fanless setups. That's subjective and I respect your aesthetic preference. Most likely, yes, but you still need to run tubing towards your pump/res setup that will most likely sit up front and bottom of the case. Running tubing up front isn't going to add more complexity. To be quite honest with you, your single requirement for that specific radiator set up is significantly hindering your possibilities for an adequate system build. You can literally get away with sub 60c~ temps with a single 240mm radiator that cools your CPU and GPU. For example, one of my rigs at home is running a 7700K and a 1080, both staying around 55C during full load. I have a pair of Corsair ML120 PRO fans running at 550rpm keeping the liquid temps low, all while staying near silent. The loudest part of that rig is the coil whine from the GPU. 
     
    Back on topic, I would highly suggest that you mount the radiator up front to give you more flexibility of your options, and provide the same amount of cooling / heat dissipation. You can find the right case for you. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where it's placed, so long as it's being cooled by fans.

    But it's seasonic, it has to be good, because Seasonic.
    Even if it isn't good at all...

    What really pisses me off is the ANtec TP3 I have here.
    Advertised as tripple rail, what protection chip does it use? HY-510N...
    Great, the label is wrong and the unit in reality a "true single rail" unit without OCP on any rail.

    Antec MT350 (TFXish Thing). Advertised with 2x17A +12V rails.
    What protection IC it uses? Of course the HY-510N. So another label that's wrong. Another True Single Rail unit...
     
    Seasonic seem to love those things...
     
    Oh and if you have an EVGA GS550/650: DON't overload minor rails because they are not protected and will burn if overloaded...
     
     
    I don't.
    Because he is totally right!
    The lowest wattage good quality unit you can get right now is in rare cases 400W (be quiet Pure Power 10 and Straight Power 10) and 450W like Cougar GX-S, Bitfenix Whisper M. And in the future the Straight Power E11 series. 
     
    Just because there is a certain name on the label doesn't make the PSU good. And vice versa.
    Just look at the review I've posted...
     
    Those cheap Seasonic units tend to have a really bad protection IC...

    I like this part from the review:
     
    "Seasonic managed to achieve an absolute record of uselessness of secondary supevisor, which kicked in not sooner than when the +12 V voltage felt under 8.4 V. Using so low-end components with no independent +12 V UVP input obviously has some “unwanted effects”."

    Corsair Blake got a reaction from Arika in So my Tempered Glass went KABOOM   
    Sometimes, this happens when you over-tighten the mounting screws onto the glass and case. I've handled about 100 570X cases since its original inception and that has always been a worry for us. 
     
    My recommendation for anyone else looking in this thread who owns a TG case: spin the screw down, once it touches the glass, tighten a half turn more. That should be all it takes to fully secure your glass to the case.

    Corsair Blake reacted to Not_Sean in Looking for ITX with maximized space   
    @Rabo I would suggest the Corsair 250D, I had one and great PC, but it is a bit big, thats the sacrifice if you want all that stuff, but as I said it will fit your 240 Rad, Optical drive, 2x 2.5" 2x3.5" and normal sized PSU, it is also a really good looking case IMO.

    If you submit a ticket, we can see about getting those sent out, but to save yourself some hassle, I would highly recommend you not lose them.  They can be very easily lost, I agree, but just keep the glass panels in a safe spot and ensure that you keep an eye on them during building.

    Corsair Blake reacted to CableMod in Need a little help if possible   
    @dv8t if you're just looking to replace the cables showing, check out our ModMesh sleeving option and the White as Blake has mentioned. It'll reflect the LED lighting nicely so your cables will take on the colors. Use "PSU Cables" to purchase these individually from our configurator page.

    What power supply do you have?
     
    Also, just as an FYI, anything other than WHITE lighting will drown out any component color. If you are wanting a cotton candy themed cable sleeving, please be prepared to not see the color through your preferred lighting profile.
     
    My suggestion would be to use all white cables, they're easier to acquire and will be cheaper than custom route.

    Corsair Blake got a reaction from Versti in Corsair Air 240, GPU Latch   
    Hello there!
     
    The Carbide Air 240 actually has screw holes that allow you to fully secure your graphics card into the PCI slots, and the latch is just a little added security. 
     
    However, you won't need to worry about GPU sag as any card that is subject to that will most likely not fit into this case. It requires a reference / founder's edition card height (from the PCIe Gold Finger to the Power Ports), so anything taller than that will not fit correctly. Also, GPU sag doesn't really cause any harm, not even any long term effects from what I've seen. 
     
    Grab a reference height card, some screws to secure it and you're good to go!

    I'm the one that built this for COMPUTEX! It was a blast but quite a challenge. Trying to fit all of that hardware into it was fun! I threw a 60mm thick radiator into this thing thinking it would just barely cut it, but it had more space... so I did push/pull config on that radiator and I still had room. You could probably do 80mm thick radiator in push/pull and be just right. I just love how the I/O and the front logo did the rainbow wave, it's one of the coolest features I've seen in a case!
     
    Please understand that this case was just a concept. I am unable to answer any questions about it in regards to its availability and release date, as I do not have the answer. Thank you for understanding!

    Corsair Blake got a reaction from Nosfy in Corsair 570X & Commander Pro   
    Hey Nosfy!
     
    So you can totally keep the 3-button controller. Just leave the 6-port lighting hub connected to the 3-button internal controller (which should still be connected to the case controller) and you should be fine. It's perfectly okay to have the Commander Pro control the fan RPMs and the light be controlled separately.
     
    Personally, I prefer the software controlled lighting through CORSAIR LINK, but that's just me. Don't have to stand up, do it all from the software!

    There's no additional software require to boot your PC with a K70. Just turn your PC on and start using it!
     
    Also, there's a BIOS switch on the K70 that allows you to use it much more easily in older motherboard BIOS. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2013/september/common-corsair-keyboard-questions

    It's not. If it ends in a "50" it is good.
     
    If it is CX400, it is old as fuck.
    If it isn't certified, it is a v1
    If it is 80plus White certified (Excluding CX400), it is a v2
    If it is 80plus Bronze certified, it is v3 or v4
    If it is 80plus Silver certified, it is a v4.
     
    Much easier than EVGA's anything, it has lots of patterns.
