another Corsair 500r question
- Thread starter ade555
- Start date
The a50 is an air cooler, but like I said it will fit no problem. (also the 500r is the best case ive ever owned)
My case turned up today and all fitted fine, wow planty space compare to my old one, the finish is very nice but at that price you would expected it, the cable managment is very nice the only problem I find have PSU that is not modular you have a tight fit to hide all the cables, then from that just whent down hill, got my corsair tx 650 fitted only to find out that there is 1 rubber gromit missing and only 3 out of 4 holes lineup for the screw so wasn't to happy, I wouldn't mind if it was another manufacture PSU but the own brand 
, anyway I will deal with corsair tomorrow about that, apart from that I'm happy with the case, the temp on my PCU with out fitting the corsair A50 cooler droped by 8C-10C on idle so case do make different, will get some pic and post up tomorrow.

The screw that doesnt line up.....is it the top one closest the 200m fan?
My HX1000W was a tight fit for screwing it in, found I had to put a few in loose and then press the PSU down to get the rest of the screws to line up, the rubber mounts for the PSU were pushing it up a little too much.
Things are a little cramped in the bottom even with a modular PSU, I just had to pass the cables through before I secured the PSU in place, look forward to seeing your pics, I can't seem to get my cables as tidy as other 500R owners

The front pannel cables do take up far too much room IMO, its something I'm going to look at durring my paint job, I can only see me needing the front USB ports and audio, might just cut the cables for everything else.
I just have far too much coming through one grommet, Sata cables, molex, PCIe power etc...cramps things a little.

Think we might have to make a "Clean up your 500R" thread
Oddly, mines super clean apart from my stupid fan controller cables
thats fine if someone wants to clean up, didn't want to keep creating new threads thats all

why do they still use firewire connection I have no idea, I never used one in my live yet, thats extra cable that I don't need, and them USB 3
to thick LOL
