**Corsair Obsidian 750D Builds**

One of my favorite cases the corsair 750D, i want to see the builds people have used them in, i havent got mine yet but will be building a watercooled pc in it in a couple of months. Post your Build !

great build

, would you know if a tube can be routed through the back ?

hakank68 · 27 Oct 2013 at 16:01

im thinking 19/13mm tubing from the pump at the bottom behind the case to the radiator at the top. Do you reckon it will fit because there is an inch of room on the back?

That lovely case and bits and you ruin it with that cooler, an AIO unit would finish that build off just lovely!

My opinion ^^

+1, agree, definetly need it watercooled

. and how many hdd's

Well I live in Queensland so ambient temps are normally between 22 and 30 but right now I am idling at:

CPU: 33 degrees
Case: 31 degrees
GPU: 44 degrees

When gaming I see about

CPU: 38-44 degrees
Case: 38 degrees
GPU: 73-75 degrees

The unobstructed air flow you get in the 540 and 750D are great for the 7990 temperatures are better than my Gigabyte 7970 which was also the windforce.

they are impressive temperatures for air cooling

demon8991 said:
Yeah it does, why do you think I should put it under there?

you shouldnt, if you spend money one a pc, you gotta see it

I love the 750D, shame it wasn't out when I built mine. I have the 540 Carbide but it's very loud on load, I feel like putting it under my desk.

although this is a 750D builds thread, i want to see your 540

It's in the project thread, search my name

seen it, looking great

, are you thinking about wc anytime soon ?

Must admit I like this case a lot and I would have this over the 650d, I think the window makes it tidier

i really like the quick release on the side panel of the 650D

That looks amazing Noob Cannon!

+1 really like it

, you might need a bigger desk though

agree with the colour clash Too Tall, you should go for an orange and red theme

Only its temporary home whilst my house is finished

when will it be finished?

, you definetly need more room

Does this case have plenty of room for an H100i?

Too Tall said:
My pic in this thread is with a h100i fitted.

I think, more than plenty

hakank68 · 11 Nov 2013 at 12:47

demon8991 said:
Yes the H100i is only a 240mm rad you can fit up to a 360mm rad in the top of the 750D.

how thick is the rad on a h100i ?

hakank68 · 11 Nov 2013 at 23:03

demon8991 said:
The H100i is 30mm thick and the 750D has plenty of room for a H100i with fans in a push pull configuration.

For more information check out TTL's 750D review on YouTube it’s about 40mins long but very thorough and in depth.

thanks

, would you say there will be a significant temperature drop if i were to custom loop the cpu with an Alphacool Xt45 240mm?

hakank68 · 12 Nov 2013 at 11:40

demon8991 said:
What CPU do you have? The Ivybridge and Haswell CPU's don’t have the best thermal compound between the chip and the heat spreader so even under water the temperatures don’t drop by that much.

The custom loop in general will have lower temperatures but not enough to warrant the cost and maintenance in my opinion, unless perhaps you were considering including your GPU in the loop also.

If I were serious about water cooling i would be looking at a 360mm at the top and a 240/280mm in the front and having both CPU and GPU in the loop.

i will be buying the 4670k, will de-liding the cpu be too dangerous and not worth the risk?

hakank68 · 12 Nov 2013 at 15:05

great build there NoobCannon, which mobo are you using?

hakank68 · 12 Nov 2013 at 21:09

NoobCannon said:
Thanks mboard is a Z77x d3h

have you had a problems with gigabyte mobos, im buying the Z87-UD3H soon ?

hakank68 · 12 Nov 2013 at 22:24

NoobCannon said:
No problems matey mines been great. My only advice to you would be to make sure it does at least x16 + x8 incase you decide to go xfire/sli in the future. Eg the non x version of my mboard only does x16 + x4

im not quite sure i will be able to do it anyway

, i have a 7970 Matrix Platinum

It is certainly a risk and one im not sure i would make to potentially only get few hundred more MHz.

That being said the vice method (check on Youtube if you havent seen it) seems to be quite simple and effective method, but still a risk on a £180+ CPU.

i have seen this method but for a couple of hundred more MHZ, i certainly dont think its worth it, why dont Intel use good quality TIM anyways, not that its going to cost a lot more.

MrAdamski said:
I think it'd fit, just. So your card might be a bit toasty if using the top and middle lane

i certainly wont do that unless i wc them, i think the top one will just burn

. by the way, do they have blocks for my gpu ?

hakank68 · 13 Nov 2013 at 00:09

2x 780ti's :O, that is some gpu POWER !

, as long as you have positive pressure, you'll be fine, the fans which come with the case are good fans. I can't wait to see this finished

hakank68 · 14 Nov 2013 at 19:19

you guys need to post you builds, we need MOAR images
