Bitfenix Colossus rad compatibility

spixelspixel · 2 Aug 2012 at 21:06

I'm considering changing my case to a bitfenix colossus.

I know it can support 2 x 120 fans in the roof but does anyone know if this little green pcb board will get in the way of installing a 240 rad there?

Also do rads for a 230mm fan exist?

The pcb for the usb 2 version is smaller and will not interfere with a rad/fans however this one (I believe its for usb3?) will. They are easy to remove though.

Phobya do a 200mm fan which is comparible to most 360s and has a 230mm adaptor in the box.

Just move the PCB to a different position, behind the motherboard tray maybe?

That's such an old revision. That PCB is no longer there.
(depending where you get it, that place might still have the old one. There's no way to confirm which one, but this change was done well over a year ago)

If I happen to get an old revision what exactly does the pcb control and is it possible to simply move or remove it?

Is it just for the front usb (which I don't need) or is it needed for the fan controller/power switches etc.

On my colossus that pcb is just usb, there is one on the left for 2 usb and audio then on the right there is a pcb for esata, the buttons and fan controller are on the front.
