Corsair Carbide Air 540 Builds

well I turned my gfx on its side and rammed 2x280mm rads and a 880ml res into it, none of which would fit without "removing unwanted bits" and a touch of re-designing

Mine at the mo,no power house just a tidyish build.
When funds become available would like to stuff an XSPC AX360 White Rad in the front and some new fittings.

Thanks for looking

Tidy build, Skullen. Get that CPU under water! :cool:

Cheers String,might do one day

skullen · 29 Mar 2015 at 12:41

Definitely one of the cleanest Air 540 build Iv'e seen. Love the color consistency, very uniform And like what String suggested, bring that CPU in the loop.

I'm actually liking the old Air/Water thing being flipped on its head.
Looks kinda cool seeing the GPUs being the only thing watercooled and the CPU on air.
And to be fair, GPUs benefit from water more than CPUs anyway, so fair play dude...

Do it different!

VERY NICE! Just curious why the rad is at the front and not the top? Any difference to temps by doing it this way?

skullen · 31 Mar 2015 at 13:05

Thanks for the replys its much appreciated

@ Greybeard my last build was full water,just fancied a bit of both,
@ jeckulz its good to be different

@ Mcthommo i think the non LED ones are four pin ?
@ michaelosmolski Rad at the front was stuck there because of the tubing route,when funds become available will be sticking an XSPC White AX360 there as well

Again thanks for looking and replys

Not a bad idea at all

Anyone had an issue with this case (the Carbide 240) im on a different motherboard and the problem still persists,came from an asus z97m plus*

When I connect all the case front panel connectors to the JFP1 on my msi z97m game the pc will not shut down but this is fixed by removing the two front panel power led connectors, so do i live without a power led or keep my pc always on, I've submitted a ticket via corsair support site

Dirk Diggler · 5 Apr 2015 at 08:31

Sound like the led and switch connectors might be mixed up?

Edit to add, if that's the situation then the power led shouldn't be lit?

You mean the front panel is wired incorrect?

Dirk Diggler · 5 Apr 2015 at 08:42

Possibly. Do you have a multi meter?
