Corsair Obsidian 900D Radiator Mountings

Jokester · 10 May 2014 at 13:47

Looking for a bit of info on the radiator mountings in the 900D. Read a couple of reviews that said you can only get a 2.120 in the front due to the fan spacing. Is this something they've since fixed as most sellers list it as being able to take a 3.120 in the front?

Secondly, how thick radiators can you get in each of the mounts, assuming only using single 25mm fans (ie no push/pull)?

And finally, the 4.120 in the PSU compartment, are there actual mounts for this to screw it on to?

Bit-tech's review covers it in a lot of detail and answers my questions I think.

I got a 3x120 in the front without any problems.
then another 3x120 in the bottom and a 4x120 in the top.

I used the EK XTX rads which are 64mm thick

The mounts for the psu side is there but it requires some assembly. Iirc there's a bracket screwed to the case just unscrew and reseat the plate then you're good to go.

That's the non-PSU side. Pretty stupid how a case made for watercooling doesn't come ready assembled for watercooling. But instead comes with a load of HDD cages that no one ever uses.

i run these in my 900d (all fans in push)

60mm 480 rad top
30mm 240 rad front
45mm 480 rad bot
45mm 240 rad bot

if you run a 360 rad on the front u wont be able to mount a 480 or 240 at the bottom using the mounting points provided.

Bah, looks like I'll need to grab a 2.120 for the front then.

480 slimline XSPC top

480 slimline XSPC bottom

240 black ice front

240 black ice bottom

1080 Nova external.

No need for big thick rads if you're filling out the 900.

Arrgh sorry, thats the side I've got my psu on. (ie right hand side of case).

Agree the HDD bays was a bit overkill. I only use two of them.
