NZXT switch 810 question

amdandy · 11 Feb 2013 at 23:30

I am hopefully going to buy this case on friday, I have just one question. If I put a 240mm radiator in the bottom of the case will there be enough room to run the cables from my 1200 watt corsair power supply.

Whats the dimensions of your psu? I have a 280mm rad in the bottom of the case and there is only just enough room for a standard sized psu.

The corsair ax1200 is 150mm x 86mm x 200mm. It is just that I seen a review on the case on YouTube and the guy said that he recommended a psu no longer than 190mm

I'll measure those dimensions on my 810 when I get back home shortly.

My psu is only 180mm. A 200mm psu would only leave 10mm gap to the rad end tank on my setup for the psu cables.

I have a 240 rad and a Corsair AX850 (160mm long) in the bottom of my Switch 810.

There's about a 50mm gap between the PSU and the rad which is just enough room really as the power cables are not particularly flexible.

An AX1200 at 200mm and a 240 rad would not fit in the bottom of this case, there'd be no room to plug the cables into the PSU.

That's a shame as I really liked the switch 810, I will probably go for the xigmatek Elysium and mount my 240 rad in the front.

I have a 280 Rad and a 180 PSU with not very much room at all.

I have the same set up, you have just enough room, hope this helps

Thanks for that whyscotty that's a great help at least now I know I can get the case that I want and everything will just fit in. Thanks

Your welcome,

If you look bottom right you have to do a little bending to fit the rad

amdandy · 12 Feb 2013 at 18:11

Yeah I see that, at least I know that it will definitely fit now

amdandy · 12 Feb 2013 at 18:16

I have one of those phobya rad mounts sitting about somewhere that will mount the rad on its side, I might try that first and see if that gives me anymore room for the cables

What way round do you have your fans on the 240 rad, are they pushing or pulling

*Rich* · 16 Feb 2013 at 10:38

My setup is same as his, mine are pushing as i have the top three fans pulling, so keeps airflow going in one direction hopefully.

Hi

I have the ax1200i and the 240 alphacool rad. I just moved the rad towards the front by 35mm and NOW a lot more room for the wiring and my barbs are facing the psu. EASY MOD
