I have recently decided to build a new itx pc. For the case I've gone with the corsair air 240. I am planning to watercool this system and have purchased a EKWB s240 kit to cool the cpu. I am looking for a GTX 1060 that can we watercooled and that will fit in this case, with the res mounted in the front of the case.

I recently purchased a Corsair carbide air 240 and i have an itx motherboard in it, as well as a radiator mounted in the bottom. Will it fit a Rx 580 strix?

Wasn't sure if this would fall under Graphics card or case topic.. I plan on fitting a galax gtx 1070 hall of fame in a Corsair Carbide Air 240, but I have yet to find a definitive answer on the the issue. There seems to be somewhat of an issue with graphics card fitment for Air 240 I have googled all over the place, but yet to find a clear answer if HOF 1070 would actually fit in the Air 240.

Having some doubts that this gpu will fit in this case. Will it fit tho?

Want to build a custom loop in a air 240 I have a ryzen 1700 and plan to get a vega card. I want to use hard tubing and white dye (or is white hard tubing available) Trying to keep cost as low as possible. The black case Is kinda what I want to do are these parts compatible.

Hey everyone! Im new here and am trying to upgrade my pc. Im switching cases to the Corsair Air 240 because I want a smaller case while keeping all of my drives (Currently NZXT 340 Elite). The problem is I need a new motherboard (micro atx/mini itx) and cooler (max 120mm tall). I am unsure of where to go with that. Any guidance or advice/recommendations would be hugely appreciated! I am running: - i5 6600k - 2x8gb Ripjaw V DDR4 - 2x2.5" & 3x3.5" drives - MSI GeForce GTX 1070 - EVGA 650 W 80+ Gold

Hey guys, So i bought the Corsair air 240 and now wanted to upgrade to a new GPU and i was thinking about a 1070 or a 1060 and was wondering if it would actually fit in here (right now with my GTX 760 mini) the cable is pressing against the window and now i'm wondering, if the 70/60 would actually fit in here (i have an extension since my 6-pin aint long enough and the ext. is from Nanoxia (the standard 30cm extension)). If possible id'll someone with the same case to answer or atleast someone who is a 100% sure that it would/n't fit. Thanks in advance ! ^^

Ok so I have not built this system yet but The main pc parts a have finalizes and here is the parts list -CPU i7 6800k -GPU ASUS GTX 1080 Strix -PSU EVGA 850 P2 -Motherboard EVGA x99 micro 2 -SSD 850 pro -HDD WD black -RAM DDR4 Corsair LPX 64gb -Case Air 20 Corsair So pc parts are fine but what I would like to do is build a custom water cooling loop with a cpu and gpu block parts list for that is -CPU WB EK EVO x99 -GPU WB EKFC-1080 Strix -GPU Back plate -EK Pump and res combo But for what I have look at online with other people stets ups in the air 240 you can only fit a 240mm rad in the front of the case and one 120 fan in the top I was thinking maybe do a 240m rad in the front and 120 in the top but IDK if I will have enough room if any one has done something like this project please help thanks so much

Overview: Requiem is a small, clean, mATX build in the Corsair Carbide Air 240 with midrange components along with a unique casemod: a touchscreen controller mounted to the front of the case. The touchscreen is powered by an Arduino Mega with features that currently include an always on clock, fan control via PWM, led strip dimming, and an one press backup of the main hard drive. The controller will be able to be modified on the fly due to an internal USB connection that will also supply the necessary power for the Arduino. The rig will be used for mainly gaming, programming, and 3D modelling/design. No set budget currently. Progress: Purchased the case Added the cutout and screw holes on the front panel for the touchscreen Made much progress on the software side of the controller Test fit the touchscreen and tested clock and fan control TO-DO: Paint the fan grills of the case Complete the LED Dim and Backup function 3D Print enclosure for controller electronics (or just get one at the right size) Make fan shrouds out of acrylic Figure out components Illuminate back of motherboard. Images: For those wondering about the previous build log Amaryllis, I posted before. After deciding I would use the Corsair Air 240 rather than the NZXT S340, I will be dropping that build. Other than the case change, it really is the same project with similar goals and mods. Any feedback and suggestions are much appreciated.

I recently downsized my first build from a Corsair 760T to a Corsair Air 240 case to make it more compact/portable (should have done this originally... 1st build so opted for 'easy' ATX build). I have an EVGA GTX780 (ACX SC cooled)... here's my current build... with another GTX780 added: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/yTG9sY I didn't intend to run 2 x GPU in SLI when I downsized, but I may be able to buy another GTX780 (exact same card as mine) at a reasonable price... so would like some advice on whether it's a good idea - I can't justify replacing my 780 with a newer card (eg. 980) but if I can pick up another matching 780 for ~ $200 it seems like a good option to keep my games at Ultra for longer. I've only just rebuilt in my Air 240 and am waiting on 2 x AF120 (high performance) fans to replace the stock top exhaust fan........ ran Unigine Heaven benchmark and GPU maxed out at 77C (ambient ~23C)... I expect an improvement of some sort with the new fans. CONCERNS Is my 850W PSU suitable? (PC Part Picker shows a max. draw of ~711W for my build with SLI) I haven't OC'd the CPU yet... but would like to be able to hit ~4.0 to ~4.4GHz... how much power use does this add? Will the cards run too hot due to the smaller case... or cooler due to sharing the GPU load (SLI guide seems to indicate this)? Gene VII says it supports SLI... any issues here? I've seen a couple of benchmarks (synthetic and games like Metro Last Light) which show ~80% improvement in scores / FPS... seems like a win. Only concern is if the 3GB VRAM will start to be an issue if games push this more in future. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi people! I'm building a new computer in a month or so, after my spring semester ends. I've been looking at the Corsair Air 240, since this is going to be an m-ATX build. Are there any other cases that anyone could recommend? the smaller the better of course, but of course airflow is important too. Thanks~

Hey guys. I've been thinking about replacing the plexi window in my air 240 with one made from tempered glass. Based on my measurements, the glass piece needs to be between 12"x9" and 14"x10.75". Because of this, I plan on buying some 10x14 panes of tempered glass (so I can get this, instead of something custom). I plan on buying five feet of this u channel to around the edges of the cutout. Is there anything wrong with these selections? What tape would be ideal to attach the glass to the panel?

To begin with, I am not looking for a "bang for the buck" build. As I am in need for a heavy lifting/powerful PC going into college (to continue making money online), I need to be able to run a lot of virtual machines. I'm probably going to go with the LGA 2011(v3) platform as I'd probably be better with a Xeon, and be most likely trying to get about 64GB of RAM. Virtual machines are the main thing I'll be using the computer for, keeping it on constantly to run up to 10-20 Windows 10 VMs. Occasionally, I might put a few to sleep to play some titles on Steam if I have time in college. Regardless, I am interested in watercooling the PC. I want a fun project to do over the summer, and watercooling sounds extremely fun. Yes, I understand it is hard. Especially with a case this small (I plan on getting an mATX motherboard, probably LGA2011, but may go with just LGA 1151 with an i7...) Still, I have done my research the past week watching the basics. I'd still need a lot more information on what each component is needed for a watercooling loop, but I want to do it for this workstation build. For looks, for the learning purpose, and I suppose, the increased ability for overclocking. I'd like any advice, in terms of links to guides or videos that explain how watercooling works, what each part is needed and its role, etc. Again, I have money to burn - although it's not a LUDICROUS system over $5k, it'll be about $3k as I plan on slapping in a 1080 upon release, a top end i7 (or a Xeon if I go LGA 2011), and a lot of RAM to accommodate the needs of running many, many virtual machines. Edit: Here's my 'finalized' PCPartPicker, please say any recommendations for change in parts if necessary: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gCvwt6 Color scheme is black and yellow

Hey people, I'm building a pc soon, and was going to include a GTX 970 in a mATX air 240 build. Originally I was going to have a Asus STRIX 970, but I was informed after research that it won't fit. Right now it seems like I should be avoiding MSI and Asus cards for my build. Are there any other cards that definitely will not fit? Currently I'm planing to use an EVGA SSC 970 as I'm almost certain that it'll fit. Any feedback would be appreciated.

So, why this case doesn't have a place to add a DVD?, so, how i will create DVD and that stuff?.

Need help!! I can't find this info anywhere and I'm kinda desperate. Will the MSI R9 380 fit in the corsair air 240?? I know length wise wont be a problem but I'm concerned about the width since corsair's spec sheet doesn't say anything about max GPU length?? The card is 268 x 138 x 40 and the max gpu length is 290mm, I'm not sure if it helps but the max CPU cooler height is 120mm. in which if that is also the max gpu cooler width then I'm kinda screwed Urgent because i kinda want to get my PC built asap thankssss!!

Hey everyone! I've been floating around the forums for a while now and always love watching build logs, but I've never really done a build log myself. I decided now would be as good a time as any to document a build I'm doing. I'm currently an expat living in London with my parents, and this summer I'll be moving back to the USA for work and then to start college there in the fall. My current rig is in a Corsair Air 540, which as you may know is a huge case. It'd be a pain to ship it to the US, and it would also take up a ton of room in a dorm room, so I decided to go for a Micro ATX build in the Corsair Air 240 instead. Here's the part list for the build: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($411.88 @ OutletPC) CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII GENE Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($208.99 @ NCIX US) Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($124.00 @ B&H) Storage: Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($327.99 @ SuperBiiz) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($399.98 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($104.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($104.89 @ OutletPC) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($649.99 @ B&H) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($649.99 @ B&H) Case: Corsair Air 240 MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Corsair 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($164.99 @ Amazon) Total: $3237.58 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-01-31 09:40 EST-0500 I'm moving most of the stuff from the old rig into the new one, the only new parts being the case, motherboard, and 950 pro. For case fans, I've got 6 of the LTT edition Noctuas, only 3 or 4 of which I'll be using in the new configuration. Some I've got for static pressure, and others for airflow, I'll work it out later. The 950 Pro just showed up today so I'm pretty excited about that. The rest of the parts should be trickling in this week. Also got some red cables for my PSU to go with the red/black build. I'm trying to think of something to do about the green lights on my GPUs, I've seen people sand the green coating off of it and make them white, so I might try something similar and make them red if I can. As far as monitors go, I'm currently using 2x1080p cheap-o AOC monitors, and a nice Asus PB278Q, 2560x1440p 60hz monitor for media production and such. I'll be posting updates once I've got all the parts and then again once I start construction. Gonna try to do it in a day because I don't like to be without my rig for too long. Thanks! - Eric

Hi there, I'm planning on putting together a build in the Corsair Air 240 case and I had a question regarding the fans that the case came with. The specs read that they come with Corsair's AF120L fans, so could someone verify for me that these fans do NOT have PWM support? I just want to know so that if they DO have PWM support, I'd like to take advantage of that by getting a motherboard with a 4-pin system fan connector as opposed to just 3-pin. Otherwise, I wouldn't really care so much. Thanks in advance!

I have a Corsair air 240 case. I currently have a H100i in the case but i want to build my own custom loop. The case has a 120x 240 radiator support on the front of the case but i dont think it will be enough to cool my OC CPU and my GPU on the one rad. So I was thinking of installing a 120 rad in the top of the case. But then there is no room for the fan to sit on top or below the rad. If I were to do put the radiator in the top I would need to mod the top of by case to fit the fan, and at that point i could just add a 240mm rad instead of the 120. Or i could install a 80x160 mm rad in the back of the case and not need to mess with the case. but then I would need to get two 80mm fans and they are loud as far as i am aware. Would i be better going the simple route or going for a bigger radiator in the top? Callum

Hi! First, I appologize if this topic already exists. I recently put together a new pc which has a GTX 980 in a corsair air 240 case and I'm wondering if anyone knows of some good low profile 8pin cables for the gpu. As it is, the factory straight cables protrude about 3" outside the case. :[ James

My current case is a 350d and it's good and all but i feel like it's a little too big and i just saw an air 240 for sale so i wondered if you guys think this would fit in a air 240 GPU: Evga 980 Acx 2.0 CPU cooler: Corsair H105 Push/Pull (I saw a video on youtube where a guy fitted h105 in push/pull with a refernce cooler 980 card, and as far as i know the EVGA Acx 2.0 is not that much longer...?) Motherboard: Msi z97m Gaming Psu: Corsair AX860w 1 HDD 1 SSD Just included what i think is important hope i didn't miss anything So it will either be Air 240 or the Fractal design Node 804. Which do you think would work the best? Thx for any tips!

Hello citizens of LTT I would like to ask you guys what do you think would be the best case for the value/feature. I've done some research regarding these cases: Downsides Air 240: Flimsy side panels (although I don't know if that would somehow affect on how durable the case is.) As LTT said, they have some questionable fan positions like the one on the other chamber where there's a 120mm fan slot to cool the cables > Only one set of feet—once you decide where to place them, that is it Also, the external plastic gets damaged over time when changing orientations. Node 804: On its stock configuration, it has negative airflow. Wide for a cube case, but I can live with it Design isn't that aggressive Arc Mini R2: Isn't a cube case (not too portable) cable management isn't alot easier than the two above. The Air 240 and the Node 804 costs the same here, while the Arc Mini R2 is less than $20. I won't be Water Cooling my components so It doesn't matter if a case has water cooling options. If you have any case suggestions, please comment below. My budget would be around $60 - $100. I kinda like the mATX cases, the smaller the better but on a mATX board. Phanteks and Zalman aren't available here (Philippines).

Looking at the pictures of the new 970s (and also the 980s), they all seem... A bit wider, or is it just me? Some even have a 3 slot design. That's huge. Especially on an mATX board. I've checked out overview videos of the Air 240, from Linus and others, and well... One of the videos shows that some cards may not fit. Either that or the cables will be smushed against the side panel window, and it'll barely close. Any info? Really interested in this well reviewed case. Would be such a disappointment if it just won't be wide enough to fit the new cards. I appreciate the help, thanks!

It looks like an awesome card; silent, fast and a pretty backplate. My problem with it is how bloody tall it is. The SLI connectors and heatpipes protrude quite high above the PCI bracket, and I remember reading in a couple of reviews that it was around 140mm high (if anyone has an exact measurement that'd be awesome). My question is whether or not it would fit inside a Corsair Air 240. I have a horrible feeling the answer will be no. Anybody able to shed some light on this?
