Hi, I'm thinking of buying an Air 540 but what is it's maximum radiator size? Or more specifically, will it fit a Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 with a push config with JetFlow 120mm fans? The Rad is 278mm long.
Any help would be appreciated :)

You won't have any issue with a 240, I had a 280 in the top and it was fine, it will fit a 360 in the front so long that it is less than 45mm thick, my ekwb 360 predator didn't fit without some tinkering

What about at the top? The 360mm will fit at the front but will a 240mm fit at the top?

It says on the link that I provided, that it can support 240 or 280mm rad on the top.

So no problems with that either. It's like the perfect case for water cooling if you ask me. More than enough rad space.

Ok thanks for your help :) I'll most likely order it next week

Yeah I was really happy with it, it doesn't do well with a thicker 360 in the front, but if you don't use that then you are fine, I wasn't super thrilled with the ssd mounts on the back but they do work just fine

Used a 360 and 280 in mine. Both were the 40-45mil though. Don't need much more then that anyway.
