Corsair 500D/SE - triple 120mm fans in top with correct bracket?

I was surprised to learn that given the length of the of the top panel the included bracket is only 2 120/140. HardwareCanucks video states the front and top brackets are interchangeable or at least, they're the same size, and that the top area has room for triple 120.

 

Does Corsair plan to make the fan brackets available for sale thru the Corsair parts web store? And does anyone know for sure if triple 120 fans up top would work?

It depend on your other component, fitting a 360 up there is possible but it's going to be tight.

 

The fans brackets are not available for purchase separately.

This is interesting, I thought the 500D uses the tooling that was used for the 570x? The trays look very similar as well:

The trays look almost identical with hole placement. The only visible difference I see is the tab like cuts into the fan tray of the 500D.

 

I thought the official word is that the 360mm tray can not fit up top, at least on the 570x? Is this different than the 500D?

So the Corsair staff member who already posted in thread is wrong?

who knows....

 

but I can also confirm this

 

The 570X front fan tray works just fine to fit 3 120 fans in the top of the 500D, confirmed by me.

Guess I'll find out. Just ordered one, although $15 shipping for a $5 part feels ridiculous.

 

 

Good luck on your quest man.

 

Heres a 570x with 3 fans up top done by another forum user (Spec Samantha on here i believe) Maguyvered to the max but beautiful none the less.

Hello Hockster2, I answer this thread:

 

https://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=179888

 

Because I would like to know if the front fan tray 570X works very well to adapt to 3x 120 fans at the top of the 500D?

 

I await your answer (sorry if my English is not perfect I am French, La Baguette / Le Fromage ^^).

 

Thank you ! :laughing:
