Question re clearance inside Corsair Carbide 540

[Davva2004]

Hi all,

A very quick favour for anyone currently rocking a Carbide Air 540... could you please measure the distance from the top of the PCIE card bracket to the side panel? Thinking of putting a tube reservoir between the graphics cards and window and want to know how much room I've got to play with - my res of choice is the XSPC Photon 270 and it's 75mm thick.

Many thanks!

Dave

I dont need to measure it - it wont fit and theres a fan above it anyways so you also have height issues...

Side not would be it wouldnt look right even if there was room

Cheers Tom, back to the drawing board....

I mounted my tube res in the back section of the case. It's was the only feasible option that I could work out. Have look at my build log I've had mine in a few different positions over time. Shame it's hidden away tho...

I'm thinking now of going for a dual bay reservoir feeding a D5 vario mounted at the bottom of the rear section. Then I can pass the coolant through bulkhead fittings into rigid piping to both rads and CPU/GPU.
