I was going for the Corsair Hydro, main reason being the iCue compatibility

smart choice... and warranty

advice with cable management... slap it all together and get it working.... then enjoy it.

then return and sort it out , one cable at a time, enjoy it, then realise it could be done sooooo much better and repeat this 4 times ...

now.. I believe LL and stock fans are similar and can use Push Pull... also thickens out the top of the case nicely . naturally LLs would be in push and on show, stock aio fans in pull and sandwiched out of site

if front fans allow it in the Air version...

That is a good idea @orbitalwalsh. Will have a look into it!

Should be fine using 30mm thick rad

Would you have it all holding on via the top.fans or?
At the moment I have the rad screwed to the case and 3 fans at the bottom of it

All currently inside the case but did want a push pull

Yeah, fans can support the weight of rad and another set of fans just fine attached to the roof

Nice, @CorsairChris will like that last comment

What Baird have you got? If it's Gigabyte / Aorus then can be easily fixed in the UK

X570 line up is the beast, know which board I'll be gunning for ...

Kavalier · 3 Apr 2019 at 20:27

Will order mine in 3 weeks time

Looking forward to see the end result. Will keep you posted guys when everything is ready!

It's an asus but its 5 years + old I have managed to fix it so fingers crossed till June

I also was that overwhelmed by the commander pro I have purchased a 2nd for my remaining 3 fans

And got rid of the nzxt grid all together

The temps and UI and also the fact u can add 2 USBs on to it is a great idea this has helped me out big time

Also my filters came today and I'm over the moon

I have changed my front fans to out put as they was sucking the filter in and making a hissing noise lol

I have added a few pics

Excuse my leg and toe lol New fan filters

It's night and day difference I've found with the filters for airflow !

Heads up. The Commander can drive two fans on one port using a Y splitter . Not advised to to it with more then two fans to a port . So could drive 12 fans with 6 splitters

Any plans on releasing the Air in a white confiig?

I think for such a question, better create a new thread as the purpose of this thread is that to recommend a fan+fan controller setup for my scenario

Axel Derril · 16 Jan 2020 at 18:41

Excuse me for the reviving of this older post i have the same case o11 air and i`m just wondering where did you put your radiator, top or side? What is your fan config? i also want to populate the case with all the fans i can.

Kavalier · 17 Jan 2020 at 20:42

Hi @Axel Derril,

I have 12 fans in total, and am so happy with he outcome. Would like to thanks all the guys in this thread that have provided input

In the link there are pictures of my build.

Axel Derril · 18 Jan 2020 at 19:48

Thanks a lot @Kavalier as i can see everybody has the rad on top as exhaust so i`m just gonna do the same. Nice rig btw, looks amazing my man.

ollies · 28 Nov 2020 at 15:02

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I'm looking at potentially buying and using the same case so wanted to check how you're all getting on with it now? Also @Kavalier I notice in your pictures you have no rear exhaust fan, any reason for this?

Kavalier · 30 Nov 2020 at 14:58

Hi @ollies,

The airflow is quite good with the current setup. For the XL version of this case an exhaust fan can be mounted, version I used couldn't.

Other than that, this case is a joy to work on.
