Carolyn Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi guys, i dont have any pic (but will post), but i have a question. I have a small air compressor and a pistol (use then to paint some BAJA cars that we make in university), so i thought tha might be a good idea paint my Air 540. But PU automotive really sticks in the plastic part of the case? This paint have a good finish? My idea is paint the interior with orange ( a vivid one) and the exterior with matte black, and the fan grills with orange to. Thx guys If you're asking if automotive paint will stick to plastic parts, that depends on the type of paint and it's chemical make-up. If you have the original container the product came in, it should list what the paint will adhere to. If not, check the manufacturers website with the paint's specific code/skew. If you want to know about the quality of the finish on the case, you'll have to do a test to find out -- unless you can find someone who's used the exact same product you're using. If that doesn't help you (or you don't have that information), you might be better off just going to Home Depot and buying paint that matches the color scheme for the plastic parts.

MatheusMS Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Thx Carolyn, ill make some tests (saw some products that are applied before the painting, in plastic surfaces, maybe ill try then). But to paint the metallic part, u guys did something, like apply primer, or sanding? or i can go straight to paint? thx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroacademic Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Corsair 540 air front cooler fan lights are not glowing? I checked all connections. No use. where might it went wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Corsair 540 air front cooler fan lights are not glowing? I checked all connections. No use. where might it went wrong? Not all the 540 cases have led fans (I know the white cases come with led fans, don't believe the black ones do, not sure about the silver cases). So, first check to see if you actually got led fans with the case. If you didn't, that's your answer. If they are led fans and the fans work (just the leds are on the fritz), call Corsair. If the fan isn't working at all, try plugging it into another connector to determine if it is a faulty fan or a faulty connection. If it's a bad fan, again, call Corsair.

nowcontrol Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi all... my first post here... :hihi: I got this case recently and have had my new build up and running for just over a week now, it's a bloody fantastic case. :D: http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660930/width/350/height/700http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660933/width/350/height/700http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660932/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660931/width/350/height/700http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660929/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660940/width/350/height/700http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2660928/width/350/height/700 I do want to put some RGB lighting in it at some point, so I am just waiting for if and when Corsair has something new to announce on that front. :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feetzor Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 My new build arrived the other day, seen some wonderful builds in this thread and thought I'd share mine. Specs: Corsair Carbide Air 540 I7-6700k (overclocked to 4.6GHZ, couldn't get 4.7ghz stable below 1.44v) H110i GT Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB 2666MHz MSI Z170a Krait No graphics card as of yet but hopefully around the 4th of January I'll have a nice 980 ti. In the mean time I've been having fun ocing my new skylake processor, got it to run at 4.7ghz for a few tests and scored 1022 in cinebench r15 but couldnt get it stable at what I would consider acceptable voltages but temperature was never an issue haha, thing doesn't go a touch over 55*c even at 1.45v. Still got a ways to go with a GPU and lightning needing to be done as well as some mechanical drives to fill the slots at the bottom but this case was a dream to build in, so god damn nice.

bhavv Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm upgrading and remembered this forum when searching info about the ram I ordered. Current pic: http://i.imgur.com/XoLKqpQ.jpg Upgrading my I7 980 and Rampage III Extreme to an I7 5820k and MSI Godlike Gaming, plus 4x8 Gb vengeance red 3600 Mhz ram, and a H110i GT cooler.

tylerd92 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Could anyone recommend a fan controller/fan setup? I'm gonna be using my H80iGT (2x 120) as the rear exhaust fan, 3 120s in front, and 2 140s on the top. My mobo only has 4x 4pin connectors, can I just use a Y splitter for 2 of my fans and be fine? Would like to find a nice fan controller for it, but it's difficult to find something that looks good with the vertical bays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester71 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Check out corsairs commander mini. I like mine a lot. Always playing with it. And it controls my fans, LEDs,H100i,and my corsair power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, but I'm looking for something to go in my 5.25 bay. I guess I should also mention, I'm using the white case, I wonder how a black drive would look there? I'm gonna use the NZXT HUE, and the black mesh in front of the fans would kind of look okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester71 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Well sure it would look great. That's the beauty of doing it yourself. You create what you want. I chose to stay with corsair because I'm biased. NZXT HUE+ is the way to go though. I like software control better than hardware control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZL1YENKO Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Nice what lighting did you go with Thanks...Its a commander mini and four Corsair Link RGB strips. Now that I have the strips stuck on there I kinda wish I would have went with a different set up that was magnetic...I think there is such a thing...oh well. Yours looks really good...I like all the red matching parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester71 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Yeah you can use any RGB strips you just have to swap a couple of wires around. It's in the forums somewhere. I am using the same setup though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
