Yeah the 140 AIO is not ideal but I already tried to see how a h100i would mount and I would have to order flat top screws because the tops are too fat so it makes it so the fans can’t mount. The design on the front is weird as hell

Not sure I understand, but I generally recommend the 280 evga AIO.
I know it fits and its better then most corsair products.

The front of the case has the fans mounted on a bracket

So you have to leave the fans on the bracket then mount the radiator on the other side of the bracket. But the stock screws that come with radiator won’t allow the radiator to mount because there’s no space between the radiator mount and the fans on the other side. The tops of the screws are too fat/thick. If I ordered different screws I maybe could have made it work.

Didn’t wanna do all that so just did kraken x42*

You mean like this? no extra screws were needed to do this.



or this?

The elite for some reason has a bowed bracket which in itself isn’t bad but you can’t mount the fans on the outside of the bracket because big GPU is big


When I go to install everything I’ll post some pictures

If everything is on time I’ll start it tonight

ah i see what you mean about the bow shape.
haven't personally fucked with an elite model, good to know I guess for extra long gpu's.

Funny you said you want fans visible cause I literally asked dude wtf he doing in the pics I showed before and made him switch it.
I feel the fans need to be in the case and not the cavity for better air flow. 510 doesn't bow so the fans take up most the space in there.

Yeah it’s a weird design but it’s fine just means I had to go with the kraken x42 for the top and I bought an extra fan to mount to it so it stays looking nice inside

Also ordered Corsair strafe mechanical keyboard, Corsair virtuoso headset, and Razer deathadder mouse.

I liked my Razer black widow elite but it’s got super loud keys and my girlfriend is going to kill me if I keep using it.

Not joking.
