Corsair Obsidian 500D

[cedge206]

Planning a new build and was wandering if anyone had previous experience with this case. The corsair Obsidian 500D. https://www.pccasegear.com/products/42681/corsair-obsidian-500d-rgb-se-premium-mid-tower-case

I'm looking to fit two rads in it. Front 360 EK PE width 40mm and top 240 either slim 25mm-30mm or EK PE 40mm. Mobo is MSI z270 gaming m7 and Gskill trident z ram. Pump/res combo https://www.ple.com.au/Products/630111/EK-X-RES-140-Revo-D5-RGB-PWM-incl-Sleeved-Pump.

Let me know your experience with the case, especially custom water loop(soft). Gpu will be water cooled also.

You can also look at/ask owners of the Corsair 570x too, since the frames of the cases are exactly the same. 

 

The listed thicknesses dont look too extreme, so dual rads should be possible. @Corsair Nick

This example photo is getting used a lot these days, haha.  500D would be recommended to have 25mm thickness radiators in order to clear all your runs and components.  The example below is a build we did a few years ago.  240mm in the top and 360mm in front, both 25mm thickness.  If you're a seasoned builder, you might be able to make thicker radiators work, but can't guarantee it.

 

 

 

With the launch of our Corsair Hydro X Series, we also launched a configurator which helps out new users determine what parts they need.  Not sure what your experience is with custom loops, but this might help you out in getting started:
