Corsair 540 Compatable Dual Bay Reservoirs

[Dirk Sandecker]

Hi LTTs community,

 

This is my first post ever on the forums even though I've been a fan of the Youtube channel for quite some time.

 

My issue is that I want to utilize the drive bays of the Corsair 540 by placing a dual bay reservoir for a custom loop but as you can imagine I'm concerned about drive orientation and compatibility.

 

So, I'm asking you the ever so honorable Linus community to help me by listing any dual bay reservoirs that you know will work in that orientation or any advice from personal experiences.

 

Also, this is my first build with a custom full H2O loop. So.... yeah

 

I've linked the main parts I'll be using in the build here just for the hell of it. *Disclaimer: I'm going for a complete enthusiast build so bang for buck isn't a priority.

 

I'm open to any suggestions regarding the parts too.

 

Thanks guys & gals!

i wouldnt suggest using a bay res

get a good quality tube res instead

That case isn't really made for bay-res combos as they are rotated and i believe they go to the back side area of the case. Why not use a non bay pump/res combo as they look nicer. If you want something cheaper. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11220/ex-res-233/XSPC_Tank_Reservoir_-_Laing_D5_MCP655_w_Blue_LED_Light_-_Acrylic.html you can put that pretty much anywhere.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

 

I've seen some photos of the 540 with dual bay reservoirs and I'd like to know if there is modding involved for it to work. IMO those drive bays are a huge eye sore and a design oversight

 

What other cases would you suggest for an ATX full H2O loop? I also like the the inwin 909 but not sold on the water cooling capabilities.
