Zanaffar Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hello! In the near future I would like to change my case to a Crystal series 680x. The problem is that I have a H150i in my old setup and I am not sure if I'll be able to fit a new 3090 into the case while I have the AIO mounted on the front side. The case lists 330mm for GPU clearance, which should be enough, unless the radiator takes up the place. Anyone who has some exact numbers about this topic? Do I need a 240mm rad for this case if I want a 330mm GPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted September 17, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hey Zanaffar, the 330mm GPU clearance is for the length. So, if you mount your cooler at the front, the fan and radiator will eat into that space. The radiator is 27mm thick and the fans are 25mm thick, so combined it'll eat it 52mm from the 330mm, down to 278mm. So you'll want to check the overall length of the model 3090 that you are planning to get. Those cards look to be really big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a H150i Pro in Push Pull with Corsair LL120s. The GPU fits horizontally and still has a small amount of clearance. Something is wrong here. I too am trying to figure out what fits. Does the 330MM max length include the fans that come with the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The 330mm does include the 25mm from the front fans. Of course 330mm would be touching, so you need to be shorter. Where things start to get tight is if you have a front mounted radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdrRogue Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 That is snug! Also envious that your P1 connector is nicely lined up with that grommet, I got some custom PSU cables but the motherboard power connector is kind of bang in the middle between those grommets, so the amount of twisting needed looked awful. Ended up reverted to the stock PSU cable. But yeah, a 360mm rad will only mount at the front (280mm max for the top), and you won't get a 330mm GPU in with a front radiator installed. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
