4000d hdd and 200mm psu?

RCLockwood · 12 Oct 2020 at 13:32

hey there OC forums.

I've just ordered the corsair 4000d case and a corsair hx1200i psu, the length of the psu is 200mm and the case states max of 180mm.
if anyone has this case, would it still be possible to just about squeeze it in without sacraficing the hdd bays? alternatively is there somewhere else inside the case i could sneak a single 3.5mm hdd in?

Thanks! really hoping i dont have to find a smaller 1200w psu to pull this rig off.

Thank you for the reply, however noise isnt an issue for me, i do need the 8tb hdd for my workflow however and going full ssd would be too pricy.

Thanks a lot! i will keep fingers crossed and give it a try.

I think any retention part would have to be attached to the hdd bay, since the case supports up to 220mm without it according to the spec sheet.

might just get some of those double sided foam sticky pads, and put it on the base of the case with the bays removed, from what i can tell, the drive bays lack any rubber washers anyway. since its underneath the shroud it wont be visible.

small update, the 8tb hard drive i ordered was out of stock, so i replaced it with a 2tb ssd at the same price, problem resolved!
