nikonnut Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hey guys, I just finished my new build and I thought I would share the only real snag I hit. First off, I'm not complaining in the least. I'm really happy with the both my Corsair H70 unit and my ******** Armor+ case (the removable mobo tray is a blessing!) but the H70 won't fit. It bangs into the rail that supports the PSU on the windowed side of the case. This rail is actually a c-channel and all that is needed to correct the problem is to cut about 3 inches from the inner side of the channel and makes it an angle that is still plenty strong! This is easily accomplished with a Dremel tool and about 15 minutes worth of work (cutting and deburing) but I thought I should share. If you aren't OK with cutting on a brand new $200.00 case you may want to look at other options. Other than that I'm super happy with the whole set-up and can't wait to see what the H70 can do! P.S. Sorry I don't have any pics of the mod. I wasn't thinking clearly. EDIT: And now I do have pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Dremel tool FTW! If you do get pix, please post them. This should be helpful for Hydro Series users in general and for this specific case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikonnut Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Ask and you shall recieve! :) http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p215/chrisj4040/DSCN0609.jpg The depth of the cut only has to clear the radiator so fan placement will determine how much metal has to be removed. Seriously, this was a super simple mod. Just remember to blow out the metal dust and cutoff wheel debris before you start to assemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
