400C + H110i GTX?


DosGuru

Recommended Posts

1. I have a pair of EVGA SSC 980ti gpus. Will there be enough clearance to run a 110i GTX in the front of the case with 4 fans (push/pull) ?

 

2. I plan on running an overclocked 5960x. Wouldn't the 110i be blowing a lot of hot air right into my GPUs? both cards are overclocked and run pretty hot as is. would this even matter?

 

thanks in advance!

I have the same case and am in a similar predicament , my build is half finished as i refuse to not have the front filter not fit flush

I have the set up as the OP wants in push pull

I have contacted support due to how incompatible there own NEW products are with each other but have yet to have a reply back.

The only screws out there that they supply as an additional pack are pan heads so give the same problem.

By the way the screws you need are 6/32 X 1.25mm in countersink, the distance for the gpu once a push pull with standard size fans is roughly 11.5" my gpu when i install it is 11.2 so its tight but do able so your mileage may vary

Once i have sourced some i will be able to finish my new rig:sunglasse

need to cable tie the pipes to the top fan or the door wont close without a bulge

On a side note the gpu in the picture is an old 9800 gtx and is only in it to get the os installed . My 980 will be migrating across when i have resolved the above compatibility issue out.

Thanks Nick, but the fans that the case comes with are all countersink , it is just the radiator fans that are not. It would be a simple fix to offer them in the future especially as your own advert for the above case has a push pull setup. and i doubt the front filter is hanging off of it.

I have sourced my own screws (6-32 x 1.25 A2 stainless hex drives) now at just under the cost of the set on your site and my front filter sits nice and flat.

sure thing , they were purchased through Brammer in the UK , they are not listed in the catalogue as they only list metric ones but if you email them they have them, they may well be available to buy from other outlets, it is just the company i work for deal with brammer hence why i went with them.

Is anyone able to link me to where I could order these screws from.

This is a game changer for me and has so far stopped me from pulling the trigger as I was set on a 400q with a front mounted radiator.

 

I have no issue with buying these screws myself but do not want to try and order them from the UK.

I have tried looking on the net but can't come up with anything when I search for 6-32 x 1.25 countersink.

 

Corsair Nick can you please help find out where I would find these screws to order in USA.

Depending on where you are located in the US, you can try Granger or Fastenal. Not sure if back east they have other fastener specialists not on the west coast.

Ahh ok thanks very much Bluetac, I did find the right ones before then. When you said 1.25mm in an earlier post I assumed they would be a lot shorter than 1-1/2 in.

Can't seem to figure out if those ones are 2A tolerance class or 3A tolerance class though.

 

You should have a job at Corsair because you've actually helped troubleshoot the problem more :)

 

You are also using the H110i gtx? The bottom fan in pull configuration sits snugly over the 3.5" shroud, would you have to remove this fan if you wanted to remove the shroud at a later date? Also what is the exact clearance you get for a video card in there? Would you fit a big 980ti in?

I can get the shroud in and out without removing the the lower fan , my mistake on the MM lol not sure why i typed that . I have now finished my build and love it , the smoked glass door looks awesome :)

If you look at how close the clearance is of my GPU is is very close but it doesn't touch

I Decided on installing the included USB 3.1 card as it hides the front panel audio connector as the sleaving is shockingly bad on it

That's a super clean looking job you've done there man, really nice.

Appreciate your help.

It is hard to say to be honest. my last rig that i downgraded from i used the coolermaster Haf-X and i had that fully loaded with case fans (all corsair ones i will add) even changed the front one so it wouldn't be a fair comparison if i am honest as that case is geared towards air flow

I can run some bench marks and see what i get .
