Corsair Carbide 300R Window Version Cooling Solution

KaiserPhantasma · Jan 21, 2014

I really have no idea what kinds of fans or whether to use air/liquid cooling though both is OK with me...

here are the components I have...

MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX
Intel Core I5 4670K (Haswell)
MSI 7970 Twin Frozr Edition
Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD
Seagate Barracude 3TB
Corsair AX 760W PSU (Platinum)
Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz (2x8GB),(2.07inch/52.5mm tall)

really hope someone could post at idea of a cooling set-up

no brand preference about the the fans/CPU coolers

and I could tolerate up to =<30db of case fans noise

Get a cooler master hyper 212 evo as the cooler. At the front of the case put 1 120mm case fan (corsair af is great), at the back of the case another 120mm fan and you should be great

If you don't want to spend $100+ then go with the good old Cooler Master 212 EVO air cooler. Its one of the best and cheepest air cooled solutions out there.

If you don't mind spending some cash then I would go with the Cooler Master 240L Liquid Cooler. Has one of the best tested raitings out there without building your own Liquid cooling loop.

Roxas_Boy :

will consider that but I really wish I get an option between a air/CL liquid cooling and yes the quiet edition of the corsair AF 140 should also do just fine but is there any comparable products to that in terms to air blown thru,and Noise?

drbones8472 :

really would like the liquid cooler but I doubt it'll fit in my case cause it seems my case is cursed in terms of 240mm rad support and the about the evo I'll consider it since I read it from different sites across the vast jungles of the internet that it the most "forgiving" CPU air cooler in terms of ram height clearance...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106219 There ya go. Basically all of the exhaust ports of PC cases are a 120MM fan. so there is a really good 120mm single fan/radiator CPU cooler that fits into that exhaust spot. As long as you have good air flow coming from somewhere else in your case it should work perfectly.

drbones8472 :

and I thought the H80i was the thickest 120mm cooler that I could find

anyways I don't want to sacrifice a exhaust fan for a very big 120mm so I guess this is a no (same reason I said no to the H80i) guess I'll be going down the evo path then until I contact corsair live help and "clarify" things about the statement "All corsair carbide series support a 240mm radiator"

Curious question... can the Corsair Carbide 300R fit a 240mm CL watercooling up the top of it?
without modding? because I'm starting to believe it cannot be fitted with ANY existing 240mm rads up the top of it...
unless a company somehow breaks through the "physics" barrier where rad thickness is irrelevant to the cooling capability of it...
