water cooled corsair 600t

hi there, fitting the 200mm rad wasnt too bad really....there were 3 things stopping the rad from going straight in.....

1. the lip that sticks out under the 5 1/4 bays which the 3 1/2 bays slots into (you will see it when the drive bays are removed) needed to be bent up slightly, but didnt take much effort.....

2.this depends which fans you got with the 600t.....the earlier model fans were flat where the screws go through to screw into the bracket....

newer fans have a cylinder type shape which goes right upto the grill.....

and because i got some replacements from corsair they were the newer type......i had to cut around 1cm off the mounts so the screws wouldnt hit the grill on the front of the case preventing the bracket clicking in.......you might not actualy get this problem though if you mount the fan brackets to the rad plate and the fan to the other side of the rad...i used 2 corsair fans in push - pull so i got this little problem.........another way you could try but would need the rad plate redrilling to make the holes bigger, is by screwing the screws in from the rad side into the fan.......

i also put a couple of cable ties through the top clips, just in case they broke or unclipped themselves......

3.the bleed screw in the top of the rad will hit the 5 1/4 bays,not by much and with a little force will/should go under......or just use a small hammer to knock that side up slightly.......

fittings were EK PSC Compression Fitting 7/16

all from overclockers......

I would just like to say ive just found out that corsair actualy modified the 600t front fan and case and is possibly now the same mounts as the 650D

one thing i would advise any one to do is cut out the grill on the front of the case if your going to use a fan there, as this makes a hell of a noise, as most folks already know who own the 600t or the 650D, wish i had of done this easy mod........
 
hi there, mine came with the clip in fan mount, but i had to remove the front of the case anyway as the screws to remove the plastic holder for the 3.5 inch bays are located underneath the front part of the case......its a easy job to remove the front, it just clips off and clips back on......

Any idea why it was removed from the design?? It was a great idea. And thanks, Ill have a look at that tonight, im making some custom wiring for leds and power cabling so i was probably going to have to remove it anyway.

all i can think of is for the same reason i had with mine......the fan on full would sometimes hit the front grill, and on mine it actualy broke a blade and cracked the motor housing.....thats why i had to rma the fan. they sent me 2 of the new type fans which were quite awkward to get into place due to the way its now designed.....they sent me 2 fans which were supposed to be screwed into the front of the case.......didnt know at the time but do now.....

could also be due to folks breaking the clips of the fan mount?? only a guess...but you never know
 
hi there, i got the mainboard from here.......ocuk.....but i think its now discontinued......you could always ask overclockers in the customer service section if they could get hold of one.......

as for the edging.....try googling " Rubber Window Moulding with Locking Strip " it should show up ;) if not ill get you a link.......
