Corsair Obsidian 1000D Build Log/How to Guide


Recommended Posts

Where can I buy a vertical GPU bracket, my 1000D came with the same one that's preinstalled

 

Ouch.. are you sure?. they look very similar.. if they are the same then open a support ticket and Corsair should sort you out a replacement!...

 

but in the mean time...

Merci de ton aide !!!!

how many GPU's can be mounted vertically?

in this video [ame]

[/ame] George says "some" but I haven't found many builds doing vertical GPU's and the ones I have seen only do one vertical GPU.

Is it possible to mount 2 GPU's vertically on the primary motherboard slot with watercooling and still have a GPU mounted in the second motherboard slot also with watercooling?

Quick update with plenty more to follow once my real life job calms down (summer = silly season)

 

test fitting pumps/rads/drains...

Happy with how the drain in the front of the case looks. (will also be a drain in the back)

 

Also managed to squeeze the RGB Fan LED Hubs behind the rads against the back wall

All Fan power and RGB connections confirmed as working and will now move to fitting the top rads/fans

Hi bud.. its 2x480mm in the front, the sides of the rads have an indent in them. gives you around 12mm of space between that area and the back wall

 

Ok, so it is the first thing than EK rads are fat :sunglasse

 

But still, maybe I will explore this option for the top rad. I do not have as much fans like you do, and currently I only use two nodes en one copro with a 10 fan splitter.

Has anyone here installed their GPU at the Vertical slots for the mini-ITX board location for the main system so that the other PCIe slots are still available for other devices like the Asus Hyper raid 16x card etc

 

I currently have the 900D and am thinking of upgrading to 1000D

 

Rampage Vi Extreme

Asus Strix 2080 GPU

Intel Optane 280Gb PCIe

Asus HyperX16 Raid

 

I'd imagine putting a GPU at that location with a Corsair HyperX GPU water cooler would look nice as closer to the window than the other option

Afternoon my fellow master builders, quick query about the 1000D case itself. I'm looking at picking one up this week and throwing an x570 mobo in it but can someone share some light on how many header plugs there are for the USB 3 type A ports on the front of the case. I know theres an individual cable for the type C jacks but cant seem to find any info on the type A's.

Well that throws a spanner in the works. Was going for a Ryzen build with a ROG Strix X570E board but its only got the one usb3 type A header. Anyone been able to find a way around that? Surely you can't just use a splitter or something? If push comes to shove ill just switch it to an Intel build :laughing:

Unfortunately i do :sigh!: Im pretty sure I've found a solution which involves one of these PCI-E usb cards. Came across one with an internal usb header

 

those are an option :). good luck man. get some pictures up as n when you make progress :)

Hey Zotty, can you show a closeup of how you've connected the two XR7-480 rads together in fittings? I don't have my two 480 rads yet, but I'm anticipating what I'll need in spacers between two 90-degree elbows when they do show up.

 

I'm going soft tube, so if you've got a short bit of hard tube between that won't work for me, but in case you've got rigid fitting direct connect I'll lean on your knowledge.

 

Thanks man.
