Corsair Carbide Air 540 Builds

Question: Can a 240 ran be fitted at the bottom easily, i.e. if you do not install your HDD/SSD down there, are there holes for some fans etc?

dont think there is tbh, could easily be modded tho, remove the HDD mounts and cut a space for the 240mm rad with a 240mm grill underneath

still need to do something with the bottom hole!!
Removed cooling for motherboard as it was kinking between that and cpu, besides it does absolutely nothing.

It can be done, i started to do it, but then gave up and sold my other AX, it would mean cutting away the lower pci slots to do it.

Looking sweet with that block Nickol, if you get chance would you be able to quickly measure the room you have left in the top left of your rig between the holey bit on the back of the case and the 240rad? looks to me around 23mm but would be awesome if you could confirm it for me, thanks - Adam

Cheers

Thanks!

I assume the pipe leading to the top right is to drain the system? Otherwise you have a massive air problem haha

Probably a silly qn but how is your top rad secured? Is it smaller screws from the top downwards and into the rad? Or do you have fans pulling too?

No, that is my filler tube, look at good side pic to the bottom of rad, you will notice a qdc, that's my drain point.

If you upload the pictures to imageshack, they provide a link for forums. Then you just paste the link

I think one of these might be making it's way to me at christmas, fed up of having my h70 on a length of paracord dangling outside the case!
