frekwalda Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It's up and running finally. I do have a ton of questions about the fan plug in spots and the wiring set up. Notice the three fans on the bottom left front panel not lit up? I have plugged them into plugs I know work and they will not come on for some reason. Have you followed Zotty diagram works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone55555 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 How is anyone getting dual 140's into the rear fan mount? It's clearly stated as possible in the launch video, but I've only heard people speaking of modifications to make it happen - whether grinding down fans or grinding down the case I haven't yet figured out or seen done.

Zone55555 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Yeah I've already dry-fit my 2080 in and it'll be nice and solid no problems vertically as well, but I'm stuck with traditional mounting until my riser cable comes in. The back fan area is intriguing to me, in case I choose to put in one of those 2080 TI hybrid coolers from Gigabyte. Edited: it's a 240, so it would for sure fit size-wise, and it looks like there's plenty of tubing. Edited February 2, 2019 by Zone55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expLOSIV Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hello: I am having the same problem as well. I want to order the following piece; 8x 120 mm Fan Tray to make a quad 480mm rad build and have the case most likely forever for future builds. https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Catego...y/p/CC-8900160 It is unreasonable that only can be ordered in the US store to be delivered to the US, while the rest of the world get treated as "second class", after buying a 449 £ (500€) case, and we can't have a 9.99$ tray, as you can see in the following link. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Catego...y/p/CC-8900160 I would pay for the international delivery and I wouldn't care, but apparently is impossible, the demand should be of 17 million Corsair Obsidian 1000D sold in the US for them to not to offer the part in other parts of the world. Sad Cmon Corsair - I want your case badly, but wont buy it without possibility to replace top tray... :< Where I can buy it ? I am from Europe (Poland) - dont mind paying for int. delivery.

It's clearly stated as possible in the launch video, but I've only heard people speaking of modifications to make it happen - whether grinding down fans or grinding down the case I haven't yet figured out or seen done. Ok - I'm pretty sure I did mount 2x ML140s in the back (its got 18 fans in so I've kind of lost track) with no major changes (something is nigling at the back of my mind - but it was a couple of weeks ago and I'm getting old). I'll check when I get home and take a pic ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zone55555 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) some info on this in my build thread dude.. and it supports my EVGA 1080 SC with no issues at all Also holds my heavy-as-hell Gigabyte AORUS 2080 without a hint of issue. Should handle anything you can throw at it. Word of advice though: For my situation using an Asus Maximus XI Formula, a TT-brand 200mm PCIE 16x riser cable was just *barely* long enough and I had some sweaty moments. I'd strongly suggest looking for one that's just a bit longer. 300mm is overkill and even 250mm is probably a little more than you need, but I haven't seen any produced in 220mm which would probably be about perfect. You'd think it'd be a nice opportunity for Corsair to pair up with someone and make some perfect length cables for the 1000D, since they already have a piece of the cable market.

Zone55555 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Anyone done an underglow for the 1000D, similar to what a certain other unnamed company is offering as a package? Seems to me it would probably be pretty straightforward to run another NodePro off one of my CoPros, and run the RGB strip extension cables out the bottom vents under the drive bay, and magnetically attach the strips between the "foot" part and the baseplate? I really need to flip my computer over and see if there's a problem with routing cables that way, or better ideas.... but I don't want to turn it off :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zone55555 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 you mean this sort of thing? http://i.imgur.com/aFqvRsJ.gif ;) :) That kind of sexy thing indeed! Did you drill some holes, or route cables around the outside somehow? I can see one way to do an external cabling, and one way that would require me to pop some holes in the 'foot' but otherwise allow me to keep it all cabled internally.

Zotty Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I didnt drill.. yet.. i just ran the cable out of the gap at the back of the rear glass door. but its not finished yet, i have yet to receive the LED Strip Mounting Profile i am going to put the strips in... More to come ;) Edited February 22, 2019 by Zotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone55555 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think I'm going out the vents below the drive cage, into the void created by the v shape in the foot, directly to the back of the case and around the edges of the foot into the gap between the low part of the foot and the base. It's not ideal but requires no drilling and no cables anywhere around the doors or hinges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone55555 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Got the new strips, ran the cabling as planned and yeah for the cost of one drive bay it's a pretty workable solution. Invisible little bit of cable run from the under-foot to the over-foot, and the strips magnet-attached to the bottom of the base-plate. Had plenty of cables with the included extensions to pull back to a decent spot for a NoPro, and luckily that meant I didn't have to run any more to my already maxed-out pair of CoPros. One RGB strip left one right, and that left me two more to pull off the dangling end of the front panel strips. Cool. Now I need to figure out something for some diffusers, cause the bottom would look much cooler pulsing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisenb11 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 NICE!.. very nice! well done dude.. love that straight run from top rad to front rad!... any tips/tricks/lessons learnt to pass on? Thanks for the compliments! Most definitely, here are some lessons learned: * With the rad ports on top, I could fit pretty much any thickness of rad in front (I used a 60 mm) but I could only fit a 30 mm up top without blocking the ports. I only had about 2 mm to spare. I wanted the rads in series and a clean connection (hence the straight run) so the front rad ports had to be up top. * You can go over 30 mm up top if you move the front rad ports to the bottom, but this setup is likely better for dual loops versus single loop. Also, all this is moot if you stick with the original top fan tray or put a 360 mm rad in the 8 fan tray. I wanted 4x 480s so I could go low RPM on the fans. * Get some swiveling offset fittings! Life saver as 2 times I found that ports were misaligned by just 4-5 mm. Most fittings require at least 10 mm to offset so these were a life saver. * The rear fans support either 2x 120s or 1x 140. The product description made it sound like you could use 2x 140 mm. * RGB is much cooler than I thought it would be! * Careful mixing and matching RGB components if you want to use only iCue. There are a bunch of 3rd party converters and adapters, but they’re all limited to 5v like the Corsair stuff. Some components are still using 12v analog RGB, like with my res and GPU block. I have a second RGB controller for those. * Extensions - you need them! This case is huge! I ended up having to use a number of PWM, Corsair RGB (made by 3rd party), and analog RGB extension cables if I wanted to have enough length to do some level of cable management. * RGB hub splitter cables are awesome. These are 3rd party. Each hub only supports 6 RGB connections. You could buy individual 3rd party RGB splitters, but it gets expensive fast. With each 8 fan tray you have 2 columns of 4. I decided I wanted each column to be individually addressable, each fan in each row wasn’t necessary so the 8 fans could essentially be 4 fans in a sense. So 1 RGB hub splitter cable to 2 RGB hubs (each with 4 fans) and all set! * It’s sometimes cheaper to buy the Corsair fan kit instead of individual fans. I bought my kits on sale so the fans had a lower per unit price. And as a bonus you also get a RGB hub, Node, extension cables, etc. with them. Nice to get more for less! * The Corsair PCIe riser cable is really long at 300mm. This case doesn’t push the GPU out very far when going vertical. You end up having to bend it a lot so you end up being able to see the cable beneath the bottom of the card. Fortunately, it’s a nice looking cable and I’m still happy with the look. If you want to completely hide the cable, I recommend getting a shorter one which likely requires going 3rd party. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 GREAT reply buddy!, i have covered some of those points in my Faq's but some i haven't in no particular order... Riser cable.. yeah bit too long imho., was a no go in my wifes 570x build with the CM adaptor bracket. and tight in my 1000D http://i.imgur.com/l49bMdJl.jpg can confirm on Fan prices.. watch out for the sales. they come and go often and i did the same. (32 LL's going in mine) RGB Fan LED Hub Splitter's FTW! simple as that.. best invention since sliced bread this is my planned set up... http://i.imgur.com/q0shRm4l.png and yeah lol.. i already have it built with an aio while awaiting Hydro x... its HUGE. is no escaping the need for extensions! how it is now http://i.imgur.com/2zqD6EHl.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heebus Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) hiya all, new to forums here but not to Corsair... I recently bought the 1000D and am getting ready to build my new rig, as my old one is getting outdated n tired. I love this case, there are some things I'd change, but small. Unless Im missing something, I cant remove the Hdd holder and have no intention on using it, it looks like its rivetted in. Also, in the top of the front of the case, where all the wires come out for the power n usb there is a shorter wire thats 3 pin, my first thoughts was fan or speaker but I dont kno what its for, can anyone tell me? I didnt recieve a manual or booklet in my box, not sure if there was one, just a poster n it doesnt tell me what the wires for... thanx in advanced just a thought after I poseted, rgb for the usb and control buttons on the top front?

I think you have to drill out the rivets to remove the drive cage. I just left mine empty in case I need it in the future. Guess it can also be used to stuff wires into for cable management ha ha. The short 3 pin I believe is to connect a led strip to, if you desire to do so. I tucked mine away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
