So much for my Corsair H70 :/

[Caddys83]

My case is the Cooler Master ATCS 840


What luck....At first when I bought it, I had a slight doubt. I figured the radiator might wont fit on the EVGA Classified cause of the Mosfet heatsink. I LOL... It wont fit cause of the Northbridge heatsink. Arrr... I flip the H70, rotate the H70 and still wont fit... I dont know what to do right now. I should just install the Intel OEM CPU cooler and call it a night








Oh, and yes I'm aware the fan is set up to exaust the air out of the case. Corsair instruction recommend to suck in fresh air into the case but I was going to test it out to see the temps with this setup.

I guess you had fun then mate with it drove me up the wall when I installed mine lol

Yeah untill I mess with the H70 What I should had done was bought the H50. I was watching Corsair Tech video for the H50 and it fit. I guess I'll call Newegg tomorrow.

I have the H50 on my I7 Rig and it was easy to install compared to the H70 mate but the 2 video you post for me helped me out a lot mate

If I recall right it took me 4 attempts install the H70 in the end lol.

No Problem. Glad I could help...


On another note... I put a fan to see if I have the gap for the H50 and man....look at this. No room. Its my case!!!

My case is the same I'm just waiting for my new case to come so I can move the new build over this is the case I have ordered

Plenty of room in this case lol

[Dead...Again]

Have you tried putting the radiator/fan on the outside of the case?

[juneau]

Ahhhh. Expensive motherboards and there stupid heatsinks.

Oh and +1 to Dead..Again. Lots of people do that especially on the rear fan mounting.

[WalkinTarget]

Clearly the thing to do is trade me for my Nirvana NV120 Zerotherm air cooler !!


Been thinking about going to an H70 someday, but worried about the tight fit on my P180b case.

I thought about that But then I would had to drill 2 holes and cut the Corsair hoses cause its attach to the waterblock. Unless I can try to pop it out of the waterblock

lol.... Pre-plan is all I can say



Ok so here is what I found out. I should had done more research but things was bound to happen. Aparently this is a issue with EVGA classified 760's Mobo and the Corsair H70. I went over to the Cooler Master ATCS 840 owners club forums I didnt know why I didnt think of this. Use the 230mm to 120mm fan brackets and mount the radiator on top. Duh...

I have 2 230mm fan on top of the case so I removed one of them, use the 120mm fan brackets and everything

Kinda wish the Corsair logo on the water block was level out but its just a cosmetic issue so I can lived with that.

First benchy as is






Gonna miss my old case. We been threw thick and thin... About 5 different mobos in its lifetime.. Bought this case around 2000 or so







On its way to the trash can.

[drunken_chef]

that case has more stickers on it than a nascar fan's pickup.

lol, thats what made it special

[Rand{CLR}]

Did you really only put one hard drive in this thing?

And where did you put all those fans? Also, why is the 3dMark only reading 2.8 Ghz for your speed? Just some random questions on what is otherwise something that is making me jealous that I can't match right now due to my debt load from vacations this year.
