good video thx i have been building pc since 1999 but i make mistakes like everybody, given the hassle to take care into account if this will fit or not in this case i prefer my bench test case, even for my normal pc , when something goes wrong or i have to change a component so much easier, i don t undertand why so few people use it.
Michael D like $1500 I already have a Corsair cx750m psu, rog strix b450-f motherboard, Ryzen 7 2700x cpu, Samsung evo 860 1tb ssd. Still need a gpu, Ram, OS and monitor.
rosie fun fun! I test fitted my cx750m fits with the cage in but it’s gonna be a tight squeeze. I’ll prob just remove it since I have a Samsung 860 evo 1tb ssd. I still need a gpu and Ram for my build. Lol
i Ordered one of these cases for $98 open box on amazon, and now i want 3 more sp 120 pro rgb fans to fill the case. turns out they charge $80 for the set of 3 fans! So i purchased a second case for $98, removed the fans and controller, and sold it on fb marketplace for $75! So i only spent $23 on my second set of fans :)
Love it! That’s really good to know about the drive bay in that space with the PSU and cooler mount. That’s the kind of thing you can never tell until you start building, so really good to hear. Honestly, I’ve really been getting into Corsair’s hardware lately.
Hi JD, and potential builders, Just wanted to say that I managed to build this + 1 HDD + 1 SSD + both fans on the AIO. Here are my notes: My memory modules were short (no heatsink), thats why they fitted. The power supply fits with cables and HDD, the trick is to insert the power supply face first and then turn it in the proper angle. The attachable power cables where pre-inserted (not all ofcourse, as many as i needed). My motherboard didnt have rgb port so I used All the RGB lightning cables (and its alot). to accomodate these cables on the back, I pulled them around top right corner, used the gap behind the cpu for the 'thick' rgb controller and connections, and down always from the right side. That allowed space for the SSD. A photo would be easier, but in any case, everything fitted, and I LOVE this case!
Thank you for reviewing this with the radiator. I'm working on my first build and shamelessly want to make it pretty. I assumed since they suggest buying the additional fans and radiators, that it would fit. I'm glad to know this is something I will have to watch out for.
If you were to go with low profile memory sticks, like the Corsair Vengeance LPX, that have no RGB, both fans should fit in the proper configuration where he is mounting the AIO. The Vengeance RGB stands at a very tall 51mm, to the LPX 31mm. Something to consider for a case with such a small form factor. I believe G.Skill trident ram is several mm shorter than the Vengeance RGB, it may be enough to make the difference
Regarding the fan node and connecting fans in order, you can move the order of fans in iCue if you have them wrong. Just by dragging and dropping the fans on the screen.
The best thing about this case is that you can vertical mount your gpu when building mATX to cover the empty space on the bottom. Clearance issues in regards to installing 240 AIO on top and installing atx psu is very helpful. Been eyeing for sf750 as I am still an HDD user. Good job with the build!
I’m just wondering why not mount the radiator in the front since it already has the fans for it and the other 2 white fans would be on the back and top for airflow. Great vid btw!
Great video bruh. I just did a build this year with the Corsair 220T case and I love it. I needed a smallish case that had good airflow. Building in this case wasn't bad at all.
always install ram, cpu, and AIO block before installing MOBO into case. Then pre-route the 12V EPS/CPU power cable through the top cutout to make sure it clears the board/radiator ahead of time. Mount the AIO up front to fit both fans. A single fan on a radiator will give crappy thermals. Better off going air if you keep it that way.
HadeS Do you think Corsair vengeance LPX memory will fit about the same as the hyperx fury? I have this case and just ordered this AIO and was wondering if it will fit on top as well.
I got this case not to long ago and just built it and its pretty good only complain is where that hard drive tray is if you still want to use them and you have a modular power supply you can . I did it but you still have to remove the tray to get the normal atx power supply in their and figure out where your cables are going as well before re attaching the tray but it does work that way and you can still get a decent amount of cables going everywhere just have to really plan it out and good wire management. Or get an ssd m2 or 2.5 inch theres a holder on the backside for the 2.5 thats the easier option in my opinion . also wanted to say this video helped me figure out where exactly i was going with everything with my wires to motherboard helped out alot thank you for this kind of content.
this video has just saved me a few hundred dollars, I was gonna buy the same case, ram, and radiator, but now seeing as it has clearance issues, im going with a different case, thankyou
Great video I watched this to prepare for mine coming in the mail. Made me feel confident in building it, not my first pc by far but my first fancy case with RGB controllers and the like.
I just about bought this. Thankfully your information showing how you have to remove the mechanical drive trays helped me as I'll need those and ofc a PSU... so either I'll have to buy some bigger SSD's or find another case.
Got the same problem with the radiator. I just mounted it to the front upon the two upper fans in the front, which resulted in having not more than 2 mm's between my 2070 Super and the radiator, but works properly from what i see till now :) I recommend a bigger case if you wanna mount your watercooling system at the top of your case
Really liked the thing that you showed the problem in installing the second radiator of AIO.... Liked they way you compiled the Video... It was a good One...
Heyo, I bought this exact same case and have the same AIO. This was SUPER helpful in helping me figure if I should reconsider some things in my build. Thank you!
Just found out about this Problem..luckily I'm building another pc so I've ordered some low profile RAM sticks for this build...like you I like the case..Great review 👍
I just built my first pc in this case, the cable management was hard and really stressful. I was about to fit 1 tb hdd which made the cable management more hard. It was a tight fit trying to put the back panel on.
Ps I have that exact case, 4 SP120 RGB fans (3 that came with it plus 1 extra for rear exhaust) on the node, 2x SSD rear mounted, 2x HDDs in the drive bay and rm650 PSU and I can get the panel on without it bulging. I don't use braided 3rd party cables as the Corsair PSU cables are all black anyway. Biggest headache was the always stupidly stiff and thick USB 3 cable which connects next to the 24 pin on my mobo so there's lots of it left behind to hide. If it could be run and connected to a bottom mobo header instead then it wouldn't be so bad.
@@jdtechgear Hahaha! That makes sense. I suppose the video was more about the compact build, and ya nailed it! You got my support benchmarks or not! ;)
8 months ago i upgraded my core components, but not my case/fan situation. Now i'm sold. Im ordering the 220t in white, along with a set of white cable extensions, and a phanteks vertical gpu mount. It will only cost me $175, and i can sell my old case and fans. (fractal design focus g and 6 thermaltake tt rgb fans with 2 controllers) Hopefully i will be able to get $75 for everything.
Worst choice i made was buying a corsair h60 aio for my cpu, the tubes are very short, and very stiff. The only way to really mount it is to the top of a case, and by doing so you have to criss-cross the tubes. Looks like crap. I may downgrade back to my stock ryzen cooler and sell that aswell. save up for a rgb aio maybe.
I used the 360mm cooler in the front of mine! You can only use 2 fans. But I installed 3 on the front side under the front panels as well as 2 on the radiator!
Appreciate the vid man! Just bought this case and wanted some research before I got into it: Build: Case: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Storage: Seagate FireCuda 510 1TB RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (for AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM Desktop Memory F4-3600C18D-32GTZN Mobo: MSI MEG X570 ACE Motherboard CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Glad you showed it fit lol) PSU: CORSAIR RMX White Series (2018), RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply - White
@Bruno Sure did....I have both an SSD and reg HD in there....its a tight squeeze with all the wires but just think about your wire runs and you'll be fine. Also, be sure to check your GPU size...I honestly dont think a 3 fan card would fit
Just bought this case without looking first until watching your video will need a new power supply to fit the case as I need hard drive space a rookie mistake on my part lol thanks for the video
Come on. This case is easy to build in. It has lots of cable management, good SSD mounts if you need them, even a couple of hard drive bays. Plenty of room under the psu shroud. What more could you ask for? Put one together for my buddy a few weeks ago. www.overclock.net/forum/161-computer-cases/1753326-corsair-icue-220t-rgb-build.html There's the build. It was a pure pleasure working in this case. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it could have been an inch taller to allow an AIO in the top with regular fans. As it is, most AIO coolers forward fan will hit the RAM unless you replace it with a thin fan. Shame on Corsair for claiming that an H100 will fit up top.
Not sure if anybody has already said it, but you can actually fit a 3 fan GPU in this case fairly easily. I just did a build with this case and a gtx 1080 TI ftw3
Just rebuilt into this case, and had to go from my X62 AIO to a Cooler Master air cooler, and was curious if you still had the platinum aio still mounted on top? Or if you were to able to switch the fans would that fit? I just bought the vengeance pro RGB ram and not sure if it’s lpx enough
Where does everything plug in? I know it’s vague, but I don’t know where anything plugs in. 465x case, H100i RGB platinum, and one QL120 fan for the back exhaust. So 6 fans. All I’ve done is secure the motherboard. I think I will do a front mounted radiator behind the fans to give more room up top. That’s as far as I have got, I saw you plugged in a lot of headers before installing anything else, that’s where I’m stuck
Just bought this case and in the process of getting other parts as well, I actually have the same CPU Cooler in my cart and was nervous on if it would fit, it claims it should with the ram I got but I see now that I might have to adjust a bit but overall your build still looks fantastic so I know if I have to switch it up it wont look to bad at all
@@deklanburgess1907 im up to $1400 and have only bought half my shit but I went with Intel instead of AMD & a Asus motherboard, on top of that liquid cooler & then a 2-1TB Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs. I went a little overboard because its my 1st build and my last gaming pc my cheap ass bought it bc it was $800 and came with a monitor and all that other shit
@@deklanburgess1907 ive been learning more working in a technology repair shop & my pops use to build pcs and I always wanted to build a gaming pc so I went bigger
you have to remove the dust pad and mount the radiator fans on the front. Put the others on the top which would work but you don't have that dust filter
The fact that the AIO does not fit on the top is a real bummer, however, couldn’t you just take off the fans, put the radiator on the front on the case then put the fans from the AIO on the top? That way you can still use and AIO and the fans don’t look weird set up the way you did it?
i believe it should be fine as long as you don't OC ur cpu but it may be a bit loud i could be very wrong I'm a massive noob when it comes to this stuff
If you took out the hdd cage would there be another solution to installing a single hdd in the case..? I recently bought this case and am worried if I’m not gonna be able to install my hardrive in it. Would you just recommend only using 2 SSD’s? Very helpful video thank you👍🏻
Having the same case and just curious how others are building in it, You 100% could mount the AIO up front and it gives just enough clerence to the cables and still just fits a evga duel fan 2080 super. all in all a good case if you want to make it look completely full aand you dont have crazy over the top 1000 watt supplys and still expect to use HDDs
I don't understand how do you like this case when you point all kind of flows and errors in the design?? it's basic that if you put holes for radiator you will be able to add radiator with it's fans! (which you can't in this case..), moreover - you showed that if will be difficult to connect SSDs on their slots after you are done with the cables - not good at all! But I do want to say - LOVES your review - it feels genuine and you really connected PC parts so we could see if we will like it or not! great job! i think you should also mention if it was easy case to work with or not - I know it should be one time but in my experience it' s a little be frustrating to work with case that small especially when you have the space under/on your desk and you can have a bigger case.
JDTechGear hey man i had a question regarding your rad and and fan placements, was the one fan okay thermals wise? Id be using a 3600. If you could give me a rough idea how itd perform vs stock cooler.
Some advice on building upon this case: 1. Get some ssd instead of hdd 2. Install the radiator on the front 3. Get a small graphics card like MSI ventus
@@federalbureauofinvestigati9494 Sure. The case can technically hold both hard drive case and a modular atx psu, just that it will take many attempts to stick all the cables into the small gap.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU! I felt so incredibly silly trying to figure out how to install my cpy liwuis cooling when the second fan would impede the ram on the motherboard, I wish I had known before. Have you attempted to or seen anyone install it in the front?
I have a 220T in black with the same white corsair AIO in this video mounted in front, because it wont fit on top which sucks, I would get pics to you if I could.
Will both fans fit with the Vengeance LPX RAM installed? My PSU is Cooler Master MWE 650 80+ gold it has mostly flat cables besides the 24 pin ATX so I'm good on that part.
hey quick question will this fit rx 5700 xt from gigabyte the OC edition with 3 fans also im using a Evga 850W G+ which is like 10mm smaller. And here are my PC parts do recommend me changing if anything is wrong. PC Parts :- 1. Processor- Ryzen 7 3700x 2.MotherBoard- Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite 3.Ram- G.Skill 32 GB (2X16) 4.Storage- a.

Case- Corsair iCUE 220T i got extra fans if needed u know....
With the ram sticks I’m using I’m saving exactly 6mm of space I really hope that’s enough to mount the Rad on top because I plan on putting an 3090 in and a rad will not fit in the front due to the GPU length. I’m thinking worst case scenario I sand down the plastic that’s on the fan to just maybe get that little needed clearance over the ram
Kinda sucks that you couldn't mount both fans to the radiator for the cooler. That's a deal breaker for me, was really looking forward to getting this case
I built a 3 PC in this with the rx 5700xt red devil with 3 fans as a first time builder. Soooooooooooooo it is definitely possible, I just had to scrap my AIO that I bought which I will save for a future build.
@@impxlse3495 i dont know of a single motherboard that elevates ram slots. and they all use a standard size of slot so i think it does depend on the ram sticks. i got it to work with hyperx fury sticks. if you really look at his configuration. it only misses the cut off by less then half of an inch. his exact ram sticks are 2 inches tall. and most low profile ram sticks are 1.35 inches tall. so it would probably fit.
Impxlse oh i see what u mean. i don't know how many motherboards would put the ram slots low enough. for most i think it's about if the radiator can clear the motherboard itself
Hope I’m not too late, but at 8:23 you see a little “hub” with 6 ports which you need to connect the RGB cables to It’s also my first time so don’t quote me if I’m wrong
Just finished a build in this case and by some miracle I was able to fit a 240 mm rad up top with both fans, a 3 fan gpu, and I was able to keep the hard drive cage in place
@@NitulescuRares My motherboard was a x570 board, so the dimensions might not be exactly the same, but they are probably very similar. Check how wide the radiator is (from the rad to the fans on the other side) and compare that against the space between the top of your case and the dimm slots on your mb. I image that it will fit with either the corsair or the gskill kit. The real determining factor is going to be if your aio reaches too far down and covers your dimm slots. In most cases you should be fine, but it doesn't hurt to double check.
do many cases suffer the AIO clearance issue? I've just bought a new watercooler and encountered the issue myself and done the same workaround (also using this case). I want a new case but I wanna make sure itll give me all the space I want
My first build with this case, but black. Fans work, but no RGB and it is an RGB model. Did I do something wrong? I don't have any SATA cables because I am only using an NVMe. Do I have to toggle it on in the BIOS??
Hey nice video, I would like to know if it could be good to set it with only one fan on the watercooling or it's just a bad idea ? I do want to buy a watercooling for my PC and I also have this case so i have the same problem.
Only one fan in the radiator? How are your temps? I have the exact same case and just ordered the same radiator and thinking to put it in the front in order to mount Two fans.
Do you still run that aio with one fan? is that a no go? I want to put a 240 in mine and this is the only way ive seen it done aside for front mount and I cant do that because my 3060ti is too long
Hi I was looking to purchase this case but I have a CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240L RGB V2 AIO will this fit fine in the case? It is 240 Radiator and Dual fans 120mm
Yep that case has many things missing. Even though the guy in the video is putting that much effort in trying to make that case look good actually if you see the video carefully you will notice he is building it in the wrong way because the case doesn't allow for good configuration except basic ones. Notice he has installed a 240mm radiator and installed only 1 fan because he can't install 2, Ram height doesn't allow it and he is not mentioning that at all, what a tool
@@gwcomputers I can see this being a problem but some people don't use radiators so it might be okay with them. It's a compromise for a smaller case. Similar with the limited PSU space.
@@bahrid0563 In that case yes but still it is a little overpriced for what offers compared to other cases that offer way more for the same price. But anyway why not
A quick review of the Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow, Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Smart Gaming Case. The product description on the Corsair website says you can fit a 240mm radiator/fan at the top of the case. I tried fitting a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum AIO 240mm radiator/fan at the top of the case and it wouldn't fit if you have any kind of memory installed, mine was 4 x 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black 16GB 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 RAM. All Corsair components (case, AIO Hydro Cooler and memory) and the radiator/fan would not fit despite what the Corsair website says. There is not enough clearance between where the memory sits and the top of the case to accommodate a 240mm radiator and fans. If you are planning on fitting a 240mm radiator/fans to the top then do not buy this case. You can fit the 240mm radiator/fans to the front as long as your GPU is no longer than 280mm. My GPU has three fans and is 300mm in length so the radiator/fan wouldn't fit at the front either. NOT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM CORSAIR !!!!!!
Sooo i have an i7 10700k using a EVGA AIO 240 cooler with the Vengeance pro RGB Dimms what would you recommend? Using a standard ATX mobo also I am also building in this case
@@NitulescuRares I'm building around the same thing at the moment. I have the gigabtye 5700 xt oc, and just bought the case as well. I'm hoping not to have any problems w/ the aio being mounted on top. How's yours looking so far?
Rares Nitulescu yeah I’m in the US and prices are up here as well haha. But I want the pc now so I’m willing to spend extra. Do you know of the motherboard matters w/ the fit for the aio? Or do all of them have about the same clearance? You should send me a pic of your build, dm me on insta it’s @zaidalssaraj

Thanks for the video! Really helpful for my PC build. I hope I can fit the ps and the harddrive cage together...
Glad I could help!
If your PSU don't fit remove the bottom or top HDD cage and feed them in there. Tons of room
Just ordered this case today. Cant wait to assemble with it.
SAME !!!
@@xrosie3273 I'm loving it. Build is setup and the temps are always less than 50°c. That's with AAA games too
@@cdfs_lurk2cold746 do you use watercooling ?
Got the same problem with the radiator.
I just mounted it to the front upon the two upper fans in the front, which resulted in having not more than 2 mm's between my 2070 Super and the radiator, but works properly from what i see till now :)
I recommend a bigger case if you wanna mount your watercooling system at the top of your case
Does your 2070 have 3 fans or 2
@@crimsonreddy 3, IT's a Gigabyte one. But meanwhile i bought a Corsair 4000X where everything fits much better with way better Airflow
Just ordered all my new PC parts with this case, building it tomorrow! Great and informative video bud
ActionManFTW I recently built my pc in this case, looks amazing
iKnockedYou I’m waiting for my parts to arrive!
Really liked the thing that you showed the problem in installing the second radiator of AIO.... Liked they way you compiled the Video... It was a good One...
Thanks man
This is a cool channel. I love the presentation. I just bought this case for my new RTX3080 build.
I have to take it back. The graphics card is too long. :)
How long was ur gpu?
Very good and useful video! I would recommend it for ppl who are building for the first time their PC with this case.
You can fit an ATX Power supply (corsair RM650) without issue by taking out the HD cage, put in the supply and then refit the cage.
Heyo, I bought this exact same case and have the same AIO. This was SUPER helpful in helping me figure if I should reconsider some things in my build. Thank you!
Just found out about this Problem..luckily I'm building another pc so I've ordered some low profile RAM sticks for this build...like you I like the case..Great review 👍
teóricamente con las VENGEANCE RGB PRO SL de perfil bajo, no tendrías ese problema. Lo has probado?
I just built my first pc in this case, the cable management was hard and really stressful. I was about to fit 1 tb hdd which made the cable management more hard. It was a tight fit trying to put the back panel on.
Hey, I'm kinda facing the same issue, i have one hdd, can you tell me how you fixed that?
Ps I have that exact case, 4 SP120 RGB fans (3 that came with it plus 1 extra for rear exhaust) on the node, 2x SSD rear mounted, 2x HDDs in the drive bay and rm650 PSU and I can get the panel on without it bulging. I don't use braided 3rd party cables as the Corsair PSU cables are all black anyway. Biggest headache was the always stupidly stiff and thick USB 3 cable which connects next to the 24 pin on my mobo so there's lots of it left behind to hide. If it could be run and connected to a bottom mobo header instead then it wouldn't be so bad.
Great video my dude. Keep up the good work. Is it possible to make a top 5 compact ATX of 2019? Just wondering ... Thanx
Great build, man! That B-roll was super nice!
It'd be cool to see them up and running, maybe a game or benchmark?
Thanks dude! A game benchmark?? Well the CPU is twice the price of the used 1070 so I just never bothered haha
@@jdtechgear Hahaha! That makes sense. I suppose the video was more about the compact build, and ya nailed it! You got my support benchmarks or not! ;)
8 months ago i upgraded my core components, but not my case/fan situation. Now i'm sold. Im ordering the 220t in white, along with a set of white cable extensions, and a phanteks vertical gpu mount. It will only cost me $175, and i can sell my old case and fans. (fractal design focus g and 6 thermaltake tt rgb fans with 2 controllers) Hopefully i will be able to get $75 for everything.
Worst choice i made was buying a corsair h60 aio for my cpu, the tubes are very short, and very stiff. The only way to really mount it is to the top of a case, and by doing so you have to criss-cross the tubes. Looks like crap. I may downgrade back to my stock ryzen cooler and sell that aswell. save up for a rgb aio maybe.
Just discovered your channel and man you got a soothing voice 😂
I used the 360mm cooler in the front of mine! You can only use 2 fans. But I installed 3 on the front side under the front panels as well as 2 on the radiator!
Appreciate the vid man! Just bought this case and wanted some research before I got into it:
Build:
Case: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB
Storage: Seagate FireCuda 510 1TB
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (for AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM Desktop Memory F4-3600C18D-32GTZN
Mobo: MSI MEG X570 ACE Motherboard

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Glad you showed it fit lol)
PSU: CORSAIR RMX White Series (2018), RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply - White
hey did you build it? did your psu fit with the hd cage on?
@Bruno Sure did....I have both an SSD and reg HD in there....its a tight squeeze with all the wires but just think about your wire runs and you'll be fine. Also, be sure to check your GPU size...I honestly dont think a 3 fan card would fit
@@ragz713 mines a two fan but i'll measure it
Just bought this case without looking first until watching your video will need a new power supply to fit the case as I need hard drive space a rookie mistake on my part lol thanks for the video
Come on. This case is easy to build in. It has lots of cable management, good SSD mounts if you need them, even a couple of hard drive bays. Plenty of room under the psu shroud. What more could you ask for? Put one together for my buddy a few weeks ago.
www.overclock.net/forum/161-computer-cases/1753326-corsair-icue-220t-rgb-build.html
There's the build. It was a pure pleasure working in this case. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it could have been an inch taller to allow an AIO in the top with regular fans. As it is, most AIO coolers forward fan will hit the RAM unless you replace it with a thin fan. Shame on Corsair for claiming that an H100 will fit up top.
Not sure if anybody has already said it, but you can actually fit a 3 fan GPU in this case fairly easily. I just did a build with this case and a gtx 1080 TI ftw3
was your psu fan facing up or down when you did the build for this video?
Just rebuilt into this case, and had to go from my X62 AIO to a Cooler Master air cooler, and was curious if you still had the platinum aio still mounted on top? Or if you were to able to switch the fans would that fit? I just bought the vengeance pro RGB ram and not sure if it’s lpx enough
Where does everything plug in? I know it’s vague, but I don’t know where anything plugs in. 465x case, H100i RGB platinum, and one QL120 fan for the back exhaust. So 6 fans. All I’ve done is secure the motherboard. I think I will do a front mounted radiator behind the fans to give more room up top. That’s as far as I have got, I saw you plugged in a lot of headers before installing anything else, that’s where I’m stuck
Love your voice after those hyped clickbait shouting lame youtubers
Great video bro! I subbed after the force it down your throat part. I was dying haha. Found your video surfing for Corsair 220t builds.
Just bought this case and in the process of getting other parts as well, I actually have the same CPU Cooler in my cart and was nervous on if it would fit, it claims it should with the ram I got but I see now that I might have to adjust a bit but overall your build still looks fantastic so I know if I have to switch it up it wont look to bad at all
With ur build how much will it cost? I’m tryna use this case on a $700 budget and have all my stuff picked out but idk if it’ll fit
@@deklanburgess1907 im up to $1400 and have only bought half my shit but I went with Intel instead of AMD & a Asus motherboard, on top of that liquid cooler & then a 2-1TB Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs. I went a little overboard because its my 1st build and my last gaming pc my cheap ass bought it bc it was $800 and came with a monitor and all that other shit
@@deklanburgess1907 ive been learning more working in a technology repair shop & my pops use to build pcs and I always wanted to build a gaming pc so I went bigger
you have to remove the dust pad and mount the radiator fans on the front. Put the others on the top which would work but you don't have that dust filter
The fact that the AIO does not fit on the top is a real bummer, however, couldn’t you just take off the fans, put the radiator on the front on the case then put the fans from the AIO on the top? That way you can still use and AIO and the fans don’t look weird set up the way you did it?
Beast! i have a similar size-ish mid tower Corsair 400C that was looking to throw in some new parts, vid was helpful, thx! left a like👍
Are the temperatures okay when you use the AIO like this with one fan? I have the same case and RAM :D
i believe it should be fine as long as you don't OC ur cpu but it may be a bit loud i could be very wrong I'm a massive noob when it comes to this stuff
I have 2 questions
1. Is there good cooling in the case
2.Does it come with the corsair fans and if it does how many?
Hello JDTechGear! I have a question, If I put the radiator on the front can I fill the 3 fans? I mean, Radiator + 1 more fan on the top or below?
If you took out the hdd cage would there be another solution to installing a single hdd in the case..? I recently bought this case and am worried if I’m not gonna be able to install my hardrive in it. Would you just recommend only using 2 SSD’s? Very helpful video thank you👍🏻
Love your channel. This is such a clean build.
Wanted to know where you got your RGB lamps? Those are awesome.
Unfortunately they don't sell them anymore but just look up rgb desk lamps on Amazon and you should see similar items!
Having the same case and just curious how others are building in it, You 100% could mount the AIO up front and it gives just enough clerence to the cables and still just fits a evga duel fan 2080 super. all in all a good case if you want to make it look completely full aand you dont have crazy over the top 1000 watt supplys and still expect to use HDDs
How would that fit a rad with the hoses at the bottom of the rig? Wouldn't the GPU get in the way?
@@Jseagle1989 Depends on the GPU, I have a 2080 Super Dual fan and it fits just fine.
I don't understand how do you like this case when you point all kind of flows and errors in the design??
it's basic that if you put holes for radiator you will be able to add radiator with it's fans! (which you can't in this case..), moreover - you showed that if will be difficult to connect SSDs on their slots after you are done with the cables - not good at all!
But I do want to say - LOVES your review - it feels genuine and you really connected PC parts so we could see if we will like it or not! great job!
i think you should also mention if it was easy case to work with or not - I know it should be one time but in my experience it' s a little be frustrating to work with case that small especially when you have the space under/on your desk and you can have a bigger case.
I managed to fit a triple fan RTX 3060 in that case today but unfortunately had to move the fans around to fit it in
JDTechGear hey man i had a question regarding your rad and and fan placements, was the one fan okay thermals wise? Id be using a 3600. If you could give me a rough idea how itd perform vs stock cooler.
Some advice on building upon this case:
1. Get some ssd instead of hdd
2. Install the radiator on the front
3. Get a small graphics card like MSI ventus
I was wondering, can I use an atx psu if I don't use hdd altogether? I'm thinking of moving my atx build into this case and I only use SSDs
@@federalbureauofinvestigati9494 Sure. The case can technically hold both hard drive case and a modular atx psu, just that it will take many attempts to stick all the cables into the small gap.
Cleanest / crispiest audio on TH-cam 🙌🙌🙌
OH MY GOD THANK YOU! I felt so incredibly silly trying to figure out how to install my cpy liwuis cooling when the second fan would impede the ram on the motherboard, I wish I had known before. Have you attempted to or seen anyone install it in the front?
I have a 220T in black with the same white corsair AIO in this video mounted in front, because it wont fit on top which sucks, I would get pics to you if I could.
Will both fans fit with the Vengeance LPX RAM installed? My PSU is Cooler Master MWE 650 80+ gold it has mostly flat cables besides the 24 pin ATX so I'm good on that part.
i think that it fits, but do u know it?
So how do I turn down the speed of the 3 front fans on this case? They are 2 loud

I've got a compact ATX case (Lian Li A50N), it's pretty similar in how squished everything is. Worth it though.
I got this case in the mail today, my mobo got delayed and it’s coming later this week. Going to be building in this and I’m nervous lol
Building in this currently and its hell.
How is your pcs now guys?
With the ram sticks I’m using I’m saving exactly 6mm of space I really hope that’s enough to mount the Rad on top because I plan on putting an 3090 in and a rad will not fit in the front due to the GPU length. I’m thinking worst case scenario I sand down the plastic that’s on the fan to just maybe get that little needed clearance over the ram
Kinda sucks that you couldn't mount both fans to the radiator for the cooler. That's a deal breaker for me, was really looking forward to getting this case
I built a 3 PC in this with the rx 5700xt red devil with 3 fans as a first time builder. Soooooooooooooo it is definitely possible, I just had to scrap my AIO that I bought which I will save for a future build.
Hello, I have a question. Do you think the second fan will fit if you had a low profile ram like Crucial Ballistix LT? (10:09)
Canberk Eriş I think it would more depend on how high up the ram slots are on the motherboard
@@impxlse3495 i dont know of a single motherboard that elevates ram slots. and they all use a standard size of slot so i think it does depend on the ram sticks. i got it to work with hyperx fury sticks. if you really look at his configuration. it only misses the cut off by less then half of an inch. his exact ram sticks are 2 inches tall. and most low profile ram sticks are 1.35 inches tall. so it would probably fit.
HadeS no lol, I mean how high up on the board, not how tall
Impxlse oh i see what u mean. i don't know how many motherboards would put the ram slots low enough. for most i think it's about if the radiator can clear the motherboard itself
HadeS ah ok 👌
Nice video! Quick question though, this is my first time busking a pc so how did you get the RGB fans that came with the case to light up?
Hope I’m not too late, but at 8:23 you see a little “hub” with 6 ports which you need to connect the RGB cables to
It’s also my first time so don’t quote me if I’m wrong
@@tringobass3329 ah yeah that question was a while ago, I already got them to light up.
@@tringobass3329I just didn’t have it connected to the power supply
To take off the hard drive cage, what kind of screw driver do you need ? A Philips ?
IIRC, another tech YT channel asked Corsair if it supports AIO on the top mount and they said no. It's only limited to the front mount for AIO.
Just finished a build in this case and by some miracle I was able to fit a 240 mm rad up top with both fans, a 3 fan gpu, and I was able to keep the hard drive cage in place
What type of ram do you have? It seams that if you have the Vengeance RGB ram it wont work but if you ditch the rgb it should work.
@@andrewasem761 a 16 gb kit of ddr4 3200
gskill rgb
@@NitulescuRares My motherboard was a x570 board, so the dimensions might not be exactly the same, but they are probably very similar. Check how wide the radiator is (from the rad to the fans on the other side) and compare that against the space between the top of your case and the dimm slots on your mb. I image that it will fit with either the corsair or the gskill kit. The real determining factor is going to be if your aio reaches too far down and covers your dimm slots. In most cases you should be fine, but it doesn't hurt to double check.
do many cases suffer the AIO clearance issue? I've just bought a new watercooler and encountered the issue myself and done the same workaround (also using this case). I want a new case but I wanna make sure itll give me all the space I want
building in this case tomorrow
The only thing that I wish I could change would be that I could shorten the AIO tubes going and returning from the radiator.
My first build with this case, but black. Fans work, but no RGB and it is an RGB model. Did I do something wrong? I don't have any SATA cables because I am only using an NVMe. Do I have to toggle it on in the BIOS??
Hey nice video, I would like to know if it could be good to set it with only one fan on the watercooling or it's just a bad idea ? I do want to buy a watercooling for my PC and I also have this case so i have the same problem.
Only one fan in the radiator? How are your temps? I have the exact same case and just ordered the same radiator and thinking to put it in the front in order to mount Two fans.
Do you still run that aio with one fan? is that a no go? I want to put a 240 in mine and this is the only way ive seen it done aside for front mount and I cant do that because my 3060ti is too long
I want it ugh but 2 years ago I got the 275r case so yea definitely shopper remorse
Hi I was looking to purchase this case but I have a CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240L RGB V2 AIO will this fit fine in the case? It is 240 Radiator and Dual fans 120mm
I love this case. Like alot. I'm thinking of a 3950X build in this bad boy.
The video I was searching for! Thanks! Won’t be the 220t
Yep that case has many things missing. Even though the guy in the video is putting that much effort in trying to make that case look good actually if you see the video carefully you will notice he is building it in the wrong way because the case doesn't allow for good configuration except basic ones. Notice he has installed a 240mm radiator and installed only 1 fan because he can't install 2, Ram height doesn't allow it and he is not mentioning that at all, what a tool
@@gwcomputers he did mention that, but i mean continue with your day
@@Nathan-my8cn thanks for pointing it out, you to continue with your day :)
@@gwcomputers I can see this being a problem but some people don't use radiators so it might be okay with them. It's a compromise for a smaller case. Similar with the limited PSU space.
@@bahrid0563 In that case yes but still it is a little overpriced for what offers compared to other cases that offer way more for the same price. But anyway why not
A quick review of the Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow, Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Smart Gaming Case.
The product description on the Corsair website says you can fit a 240mm radiator/fan at the top of the case.
I tried fitting a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum AIO 240mm radiator/fan at the top of the case and it wouldn't fit if you have any kind of memory installed, mine was 4 x 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black 16GB 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 RAM.
All Corsair components (case, AIO Hydro Cooler and memory) and the radiator/fan would not fit despite what the Corsair website says. There is not enough clearance between where the memory sits and the top of the case to accommodate a 240mm radiator and fans.
If you are planning on fitting a 240mm radiator/fans to the top then do not buy this case.
You can fit the 240mm radiator/fans to the front as long as your GPU is no longer than 280mm. My GPU has three fans and is 300mm in length so the radiator/fan wouldn't fit at the front either.
NOT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM CORSAIR !!!!!!
Sooo i have an i7 10700k using a EVGA AIO 240 cooler with the Vengeance pro RGB Dimms what would you recommend? Using a standard ATX mobo also I am also building in this case
Hey man, great video def gonna use this vid for my build! One question tho, I have a 240mm AIO and G.Skill RAM do you think it will fit?
You would say it's a safe bet to mount the radiator in the front!
Rares Nitulescu sorry have not tried it yet but to make it clear I have G. Skill Ripjaws
@@NitulescuRares it fits
@@NitulescuRares I'm building around the same thing at the moment. I have the gigabtye 5700 xt oc, and just bought the case as well. I'm hoping not to have any problems w/ the aio being mounted on top. How's yours looking so far?
Rares Nitulescu yeah I’m in the US and prices are up here as well haha. But I want the pc now so I’m willing to spend extra. Do you know of the motherboard matters w/ the fit for the aio? Or do all of them have about the same clearance? You should send me a pic of your build, dm me on insta it’s @zaidalssaraj
Never mind the radiator, can you even fit a second 120 fan on the top just for exhaust? It still looks like it would be blocked by ram.
I have built a pc în this case this month and i gotta say this case is perfect ;)
That B-Roll song hittin hard sonnnn!!!!!
Sorry kind of a newbie here, if I want to upgrade the case down the line I should have 0 problems right
How was the temperature with the CPU after putting 1 fan at the back?
Heheheh 200
just bought this case from cyber power with a 3080, am I going to get some compatibility issues?
