I didn't think the Corsair h105 would fit in this case, your fans seem to be hanging down a bit, would I be correct in that assumption?

H105 fits. Not sure if extremely large vrm heatsinks would cause issues?

Probably the angle, my fans are mounted ok

if I'm not wrong you have to ghetto mount it next to the bottom front fan. The area under the HDD drives next to the PSU. A bitfenix strip would do tho.

@bbqsauce what RAM are you using?

[IrshaadH]

I want to get this case very soon. I was wondering, are the included fans any good in terms of airflow and static pressure? If not, what are good replacement fans?

Hi guys!

 

I'm looking for a new case and H440 really cought my eye. But there are few thinks I'm not 100% sure with, so I would like to ask you, owners, for help. Can I fit double 360 radiators (I've got spare Black Ice XFlow from older build) in this case and one HDD on bottom, next to the power supply? Will there be enough space for it? 

 

I'm going for something like this:

 

Thanks!

Does the H105 light up? If it does then I'm sold on it over the X60

the corsair logo in the middle is illuminated. White light only

H440 Master Race.

Well it took me a while, and yet I cleaned up a bit more after this photo was takes but here it is.

Yes that is a Asus Maximus V Extreme board in there, with a Kraken X60.

Had to remove the rubber grommets and put some non conductive tape near the edge but it fit and its working perfectly.

I have the Kraken as a intake, plus the front 3 fans, and 1 Exhaust at the back.

Temps are good, CPU doesn't go over 58c with a 4.2Ghz OC (3570K), GPU idles at 31/32c (29c in the carbine 500r) max temps I've seen were 66c, which are well in the threshold for the GTX780ti cards.

Just installed a white LED kit. Now if only the logo LED hadn't gone really dim... or if only I hadn't scratched up the side panel...

Got My H440 Green Edition from my husband @ericlee30 today (early mother's day gift), so excited! This is the second H440 we now own, the first was the white and black, pre-ordered a bit back.

 

Started a build log, so if you want to see more pictures of the case and see how it turns out here's the link: The Riddler

Just transplanted my rig into this case.  I LOVE how it looks.  In terms of the build experience, however, I must say it is not the easiest to work with.  For some reason, I absolutely struggled plugging in the USB 3.0 wire to the point where I actually bent the pins on my motherboard and had to use tweezers to fix it!  Also, this case doesn't play well with 90 degree SATA cables.  However, the ease in cable management (you can literally shove all the cables in the bottom without worry) more than makes up for those few difficulties.

Anyone know of a good way to clean fingerprints off the black panels?  Mine's riddled with them and I've only had it for a day!

I'm the same, haven't tried much though don't want to wreck the finish..

I use Mr Sheen furniture polish and a normal yellow style cloth duster to get the finger prints and other marks off. I find that wiping in a circular motion helps a lot as well as rubbing back and forth generally just makes smears worse.
