Balverine Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hi there! I purchased the Corsair Graphite 230T earlier this year for my first self-assembled build (bought all the parts and put them together at home). I also bought 3 more case fans (2x AF140, 1x SP120). Today I installed the SP120 in the front of my case (directly in front of the HDD cage) and replaced one of the stock LED fans that came with the case. Unfortunately there aren't any SP-fans by Corsair with LEDs so I wanted to replace the other fan too (I would want them to be either both with or without LEDs, only one doesn't look that good). So before purchasing a AF120 I wanted to see how the other stock LED fan unmounts (unscrewing the screws, duh) but I only seem to be able to access 2 of the screws. The other 2 at the bottom of the fan are slightly "covered" by the SSD cage, so I can't get a got grip with my screwdriver on the screws. I know Corsair offers the stock LED fans for their cases on the website, so there should be a way of removing them (in case one of them doesn't work anymore). Is there any way I can unscrew them or am I stuck with the stock LED fan? Thanks in advance for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 You can remove the front panel. Removing the front bezel isn’t as simple as most, where you simply pull from the bottom of the bezel. The front bezel for the 230T is held in place by three clips on each side, these have to be released from the inside of the case.

Source: http://www.legitreviews.com/corsair-graphite-230t-battleship-grey-mid-tower-case-review_129151/4 Thanks. But it's not the front panel that is in my way. It's the HDD cage that kinda blocks the lower two screws on the top intake fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I see. I don't think the HD cage is removable and the SSD mounting looks like its part of the HD cage. One way to remove it is if you have a long phillips or flat head screw driver you can put it through the SSD mounting cage and unscrew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraG Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The hdd cage in 230t is removable very easily in fact. Its held by 4 little screws, 2 under the front mesh, right next to the upper front fan, and 2 behind the metal panel that holds the mobo, where usully cables are routed, next to the hdd mounting points. Front fans are very easy to remove, no need to remove the hdd cage if u dont want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are static pressure Corsair case fans, for example this one Corsair Air Series SP120 LED White High Static Pressure. I can post the shopping link if you want.
