Hey dude, just wanted to thank you, i bought this case a few days ago and already moved my syste into it, but i've not been satisfied with my cable management, this guide changes everything! hope you have a nice week
Thanks Nacho. You too.
One very strange thing is the lack of a PSU support in this Corsair, without this the power supply remains hanging on the 4 screws.
It would be interesting to see a build with a black Corsair 2500D Airflow with 11 Lian Li SL-Inf fans.
Three on top, three on bottom, two 140 on the front, two 120 on the AIO and finally one on the back.
Thanks for your truly amazing videos! 👍🏼
Have you considered the Thermaltake Core P3? I believe that shall be my gaming build and use the fractal north at the office (because the glass is so dark you can't see the very expensive matching colored noctua fans anyway!)
I need to try some Thermaltake products for sure.
Helpful video! I'm looking forward to the comparison to the Lian Li Air Mini since I am torn between these two right now.
It's publishing on Friday. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/P8DpeOwgLwE/видео.html
Get the Mini this case is a mess all around
Just built a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini white for the wife 2nd ever build you can't go wrong (1st build NZXT 9Flow) . This one seem more like a gimmick focusing on the panels to make more money.
@@SgtHotdogbun How are the thermals? And you can only use SFX PSUs right?
I used a ATX. Specs Corsair RM850x Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 240 and the Lian Li Infinity fans and put my old card 3070ti FE since i upgraded. I only put a Intel Core i5-14600K which is not a hug heat magnet like my I9 14gen K but the temps are low and won't have to worry about. All she does is crafting programs movies work and light gaming.@@vincentsb898
Go for the 2500d or 2500x?
On the website it say you can put 3 140mm fan on top and bottom. So thats a lie? You can only do 2?? (No radiator ofc)
The specs I was sent were wrong apparently, so the website is more likely correct. I didn't have 140mm to test and show I am afraid.
With the LIAN Li build was there enough space to put a 360 radiator in the top?
It looked like it could fit
Yes, Corsair specifically states you can put a 360 rad on top, bottom(but gpu where?) And 240's on the front and side.
This is disappointing
Somehow they managed to make it larger than O11 mini, but unlike the mini, it doesn't fit ATX mobo
It's 469mm long or 479mm long depending if you trust Corsair specsheet or their photo and still doesn't support 3x140 fan or does it 😅
That's 50mm or 60mm longer than mini, yet it doesn't fit 280 rad or 2x140 fans on the side
What's the point of mobo area being so wide when it won't fit e-atx anyway
Case this expensive and they can't afford 3 extra grommets
Should have either been much shorter and tad lower for the hardware it can accommodate or same size maybe tad longer and fit ATX mobo and 420 rad
Amount of wasted potential here is directly proportional to the amount of wasted space
where you been prawn?!?!
Doing this for a week basically
I would also use lian li fans instead of Corsair. The less ICUE bloatware to go wrong, the better 😂
😂 yet I've heard plenty of people say they hate L Connect
One thing about that if you ever consider Lian Li RGB fans.. The lian li fans have an absolutely terrible white colour temp. The controller is also laggy and the fans are almost incompatible with external RGB software such as signal RGB. The corsair controllers have way better data capabilities.
First
Why Corsair makes it hard
What a mess
What?
What?
What??😅
