Corsair 380t

[coolmrschill]

So I'm building my first PC and I getting a Cosair 380t and I was wondering with this mother and a Cooling Master Hyper 212X would fit? Thanks!

No, this will most likely not fit.
You can fit coolers of up to 150mm in hight into the Corsair 380T, but the Hyper212X is 158mm tall.

Won't work. Take it from a 380T owner.

What heatsink would you recommend?

cryorig c7

For a tower air cooler? A CRYORIG H7 would fit and has very similar cooling performance to the Hyper 212X

The 380T accepts 150mm coolers and below and the H7 is 145mm tall

So I'm building my first PC in a mini itx form factor and I desided to get the Corsair 380t case but I cant find it in stock anywhere! Did they stop producing it? I live in Canada so if you help me find one, that'd be great!

They haven't stopped producing it, but it does appear to be out of stock everywhere (according to pcpp).

Any specific color? White, black or yellow?

 

Ive got a black one sitting in my office. Its the home of my htpc.

Corsair 380t is a great (but expensive) case. 

 

I do know that they stopped producing the yellow one, but I cannot find the white or black ones. 

 

I can give you some good alternatives:

 

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX (It's a tower, bigger than the 380t, but an amazing case for a good price)

NZXT Manta (more pricey, but same deal as the Evolv ITX)

Bitfenix Prodigy

as for finding a 380t... you might check out the used market

Thanks for those cases but I really wanted one with a handle. The Prodigy doesn't seem of the highest quality for how much i have to move it around.

I'm afraud U do not have an answer for you then, the 380t is reaching the end of its lifecycle (according to how often corsair usually phases out products), and is nearly impossible to find in north america right now.

My local Microcenter has 2 black ones. 

But Microcenter says its in store only. 

 

Itd be too expensive to buy it here then ship it to you. Cuz its 140 US. 

 

Its popularity was due to its handle. Its one of the few itx cases that has a handle and on top of that its a Corsair case. Alot of people trust Corsairs quality.

Yes those are the reason why I wanted it Strong, had handle , high quality

Ill say this about it, 

 

Its a good case. I stuck an h100 into it just to see fit. Was surprised about that. 

 

Its a good case for a watercooler cpu and air cooled gpu. Gpu gets fresh side air, the h100 takes what comes in the front and pulls it thru the radiator then blows it out the side. 

 

I was just surprised by how big it was. Its more of an matx sized case that uses itx parts.
