With the rad mounted like that, from the looks of it, you’ll suck air into the pump. Flip the rad so the tubes are at the bottom and slide it all the way to the top. Air will collect at the top of the rad, tubes will be at the bottom only pulling in liquid. All problems fixed.

This is just saved me a very painful build day - thank you. I have now opted to return the 3.5" SATA drive I had planned on using for cold storage. It was either that or a case return, ram return or radiator return, and I can live without a 3.5" SATA drive!
Regardless, if u get a modular psu that’s 160mm or shorter, u can still fit the 3.5 drive bay. I managed to. (My psu Corsair RM650 (2019))
I fit everything perfectly in this case (750x PSU which is bigger and the HDD cage) by feeding most of the cables at a 90 degree angle through the bottom hole opening. No compromises were needed :)
I dont understand why nobody has the glass front like mine. So its very hard to find guides and reviews on, all the youtubers ive seen have this mesh grate or whatever on the front. Im not sure if the dimensions are the same but it is what it is i guess!
It’s because this is the ‘airflow’ model which has the mesh front and clear glass side. The tempered glass model has tinted black glass front and side. I bought the airflow model and then the tinted front separately so you can see clearly through the side. Vid on my channel!
it wasnt available from Canada. i had the only possibility to buy from corsair where it was a higher price.
The glass front hinders your thermal performance.
i have the glass panel but i decided to switch to the normal mesh because it seemed like airflow would be sucked into the pc better than with the glass tbf
Change your aio location. The air inside aio will move to highest point and that is your aio pump. You need to install radiotor higher with lines down or radiator at top. Then the air gets stuck in the radiotor where it does not affect cpu temp.
With the parts seen in this build, you can't get the AIO mounted any other way. That's sort of the point of the video. Choose your parts carefully in this case.
@@Alexkrastev I understand, hopefully you changed the cooler out. Have a good one.
You can move the aio up and take out the top fan then the highest point on the rad is higher than the cpu
@@tony420tokebowlz no you can’t because their is a set of wires right at the top blocking the radiator
@@allstarxkyrie2363 okay well I could
0:57 I do in fact I will use it alongside a PCIE-SSD. No AIO I'm going Airflow for my build.
Pro Tip, mount the front fans to the exterior of the case, with the radiator taking the current place of the front fans. Sure, the front panel doesn't fit once you have screw heads sticking out of the exterior fans, but plenty more room inside the case for a chonkier gpu, radiator, and maybe extra pulling fans on the interior side of the radiator
I've installed a 360mm Corsair H150i Capellix Elite and have 6 fans in total on it alone in a push-pull. All I've lost is the dust cover at the front but the fans fit snug behind the front grill on the exterior.
@@the_shuck how dusty does your rig get then? I have a 360 but all of the rad/fan components are mounted inside the 220T
@@ryanking4942 it really doesnt get dusty at all. My rad acts as a dust filter and i can just dust it off when it gets to dirty with a toothbrush without even having to open the case.
hey i'm about to get an aio and I plan on trying this. Are you able to mount the tubes facing down this way?
@@the_shuckI plan on trying to mount a 2-fan aio this way when it arrives. Did you run into any issues when mounting it this way?

You actually can get the aio to be positioned higher at the front of the case, you just use 4 out of the 8 long screws to anchor it to the front case fans! I did it in mine, I can send you a pic if you’d like! I have the same high profile ram so mine couldn’t fit at the top either :/
can you send me the the photo?
I have my AIO mounted all the way to the top & was able to fit a 120mm fan in the bottom; however I was only able to use 1 screw to hold the bottom fan in whereas what he did he was able to use all screws to hold his fan on up top.
I wanted the radiator mounted high so I could have the hoses on the bottom, Gamers Nexus has an excellent vid explaining why this is more beneficial for the life of the pump than having the hoses positioned at the top of the radiator.
Yeah, it’s possible to fit most anything where you want it but this guy isn’t very handy. He can also install the front rad fans in FRONT of the case, just behind the front vanity panel. I did that in a 220T airflow build and had to shave the rubber bumpers but it fit. In my own build I just used the fan and rad screws in different positions. I now have three front fans, two top fans, and a rear fan with a front mounted 240mm AIO with the tubing on the top.
I was able to do mine that way too...

Nathan im building my first pc and ive already bought this case. Im not so sure about how its going to turn out. Any tips on fitting components and cable management?
@@alessiashelley1766 The biggest thing is just take your time and dont stress.
As far as cable management its good to look at the case and plan things out.
I am currently about to start a budget build using a case that has almost zero cable management options but i have been pre routing stuff & planning while i am waiting for the bulk of the parts to arrive.
Like prepping all your ingredients before cooking.
If you need help when you are ready to build I would be more than happy to do a call via discord or whatever to answer questions (if i can).
Anyway I would love to know your specs & keep us updated in how the build goes. :)
For my parts they are going to vary depending on availability in Microcenter

Ssd: 512 gb ssd M.2 internal seasonic
Please feel free to make suggestions for changes in the list as well because I a noob in the tech realm.
@@alessiashelley1766 The CPU I would go with just the regular 3600, the 3600X just isn't worth the added cost. You can match it's performance easily with a short 5 minute overclock.
Nathan Hey, do you know is a GPU like an RTX 2060 will fit with room to spare? Sorry first time building myself.
Edit: Also wondering if the RX 5600XT would as well.
for me it worked at the top with Dominator Ram. I used a Enermax Liqmax iii 240mm and it worked
I Will use gskills ripjaws series V, hope it Will work
@@dorrismaxime5278 howd it go
@@seant7848 Pretty good
@@dorrismaxime5278 Which AIO did you use?
Lol, been there during builds... Always frustrating.
So, one piece of advice I would have for you... GET THE TOP OF YOUR RADIATOR ABOVE YOUR CPU! You DO NOT want the barbs LOWER than the pump head on the CPU itself... That is how you burn out your pump, get air bubbles percolating if any are in from the factory prime, etc... Think physics and gravity. You want gravity working for you, not against you. Essentially, you ALWAYS want the barbs (where the hoses come out of the radiator) ABOVE your CPU.... I cringe when I see people install from mount AIOs with the barbs at the bottom. You didn't do that, but you still need those ABOVE the cpu head.
Nice one! 👌 I've followed this guide today with my new build and somebody mentioned this in another video. Luckily enough it's still only half built so I'll get that sorted tomorrow
I am planning to build my first pc in this case. I really love the look of this case. I am going with Asus Prime B450M-A motherboard, Corsair RGB Pro RAM and Corsair Hydro Series, H100i RGB Platinum SE, 240mm Radiator on top. Is all that going to fit?
Did it end up fitting?
Yes it should but it might be a tight squeeze, i would reccomend a 280mm radiator over a 240mm as it can go in the front, what gpu do u have as if it is too long this can affect front radiator mounting. If you want to have a 240mm radiator in the top you could get G skill rgb ram as this has smaller heat spreaders.
@@spaceinvadersaw No. the RGB Pro ram is too big. Need low profile ram. 34mm or so. Everything else will fit. My Corsair Elite AIO 240mm fits up top fine.
@@braaap2065 I have a 220t case and h100 2400 mm liquid cooling, can I install corsair rgb ram(rs/rt) when I mount the cooler on the top panel?
@@aliakay4106 Not likely. Depends on the motherboard and ram placement but it likely won't fit. You want low profile ram. That fits fine.
I have this case and can confirm the aio fits higher up on the front with plenty of clearance
I was able to fit a 240mm AIO in the top with rgb ram. There are offset holes that move the rad closer to the glass side. Allowing more space. I didn't need low profile ram either. Yes you have to be careful of height. But trident Z Neo's RGB fit fine. But you say it's not possible which is straight wrong. Also flip the Rad if your going to do that. Air bubbles in thy pump I hear. Love he build.
nice build i have the same case and i was able to fit the same cooler and i was able to get mine to fit at the top when mounted in the front of the case, it was a bit of a tight fit but i was able to mount it properly and i think it looks a lot better
So I got this case with a 3 pack of LL rgb fans with the h100i platinum cooler. So I'm guessing I don't need two of the RGB fans already installed to the case since i can replace them with the cpu cooler and I can just leave one of the pre-installed rgb fans on the top?
I have a Kraken x72 mounted in the front of my 220T, push/pull set up. I run a evga 1660 ti xc ultra with it just fine. I had to put a low profile fan in the middle of the 360 rad to have all 6 fan slots occupied. I have a evga 3080 ti xc3 hybrid gaming gpu (its water cooled with a 240mm AIO) coming soon and will be trying to install it on the top with a little DIY work. Ill let you know how it goes
update: 3080ti xc3 and Kraken x72 AIO fit, had to have a 15mm fan above the ram. easy.
If you use Trident Z Neo ram you could mount the AIO up top,
Thank your for the vid and great job 👍🏻
Really? Does it fit if you use the Trident Z Neo?
Alan Hernandez I just ordered the trident z neo ram and was nervous that it might not fit glad to hear it does fit
graham peebles yup it will fit,
graham peebles yo tell me if it fits once you get your parts together, good luck
Alan Hernandez do you think it would fit with the Rgb series?
Came here just to look at the case review and was pleasantly surprised that most id the components in this build are the exact same ones I was choosing as well cuz I have no clue what I'm doing haha
homie you do NOT want to have the pump be the top part of the loop it will catch air and youll overheat
Hence why video is called “dont do this”
The real mistake you made was having the radiator top-oriented. It leads to air bubbles and sometimes whine, but the whine is nothing compared to the lack of efficiency you're going to get from your AIO.
th-cam.com/video/BbGomv195sk/w-d-xo.html
I bought this case for my first build and didnt realize I would run into some of the same issues. I didnt want to run the pump above the reservoir like you had to do so ended up going with an air cooler. This case has great airflow but its really not big enough to run and AIO with how large GPUs have gotten and if you use an EATX size motherboard. I think a smaller form motherboard would probably allow you to run the aio on the top without haveing to run low profile ram.
I fit an aio on top with vengeance ram by using 15mm slim fans from silver stone instead of the provided Corsair fans. An extra $30 saved my build
Is there enough space for a normal 25mm fan and an AIO?
We’re the two fans that came with your cooler 240mm? I saw you took out the bottom 2 fans in the front. Did you move them and just put the two fans that came with the cooler on the front. I’m having a hell of a time but same build. I think I have the same cooler too
over time with the aio mounted like that its gonna cause you problems where the pump is higher than the block, allows air top move easier thru the tubes into the pump instead of getting trapped in the block.
I just ordered this buil case and AIO with the vengeance RGB ram from cyberpower, Am I going to be screwed when it comes then assembling this?
Hey this may be a dumb question but I’m in the process of building a pc rn an I have the same case. I just got two 16gb of ram but can I run 4 like you did in the video?
I have this same case, at best buy, i wanted the 465X case but just because i dont wanna wait for almost a week to order it i got this 220T case instead, (it was available at the store) anyway my desk is not that big so this is the size i needed anyway, This is how i solved the problem of the "AIO Vengence ram sticks fit; I only have ONE fan on the left side of the radiator and its for 2 fans and so far it still been working with no problems, the CPU temp at idle stays at the late 20c low 30c and 38 to 45 when gaming.
What GPU are you using in the video? I got the Gigabyte 2070 super 3 fans, so hopefully it will fit with the radiator at the front. It’s 28.6cm in length
What is the advantage in the water cooling? Higher overclock?
Thanks Ill probably use the 2 included fans at the top of the case
Hi do you know how to slow the case frontal fans? They do really too much noise :( I tried with msi dragon center(msi motherboard)/icue/Speedfan but I find nothing to slow them...
Thanks for this! Ended up ordering low profile ram instead of the icue RGB corsair ram. Thanks for saving me a build day headache!
@Matty h bomb I bought gskill rgb and asus rog strix b450 f mobo. so hopefully i can fit an aio on top of this case
Can the Evga GeForce rtx 2080 super ftw3 ultra fit In this case bc part picker saying warning, isn’t that big of a different it says that the case is 300mm and the card is 301,925 mm. can I still fit it ??
Exact same here except that I have a GTX 1660 Ti and I was just about able to squeeze the graphics card in at an angle to get it in the chasis then line it up with socket with 3mm clearnace! Whew...
Just want to clear up that this video is to show how I wasn’t able to get the rad to fit at the top with specific parts. I also wasn’t able to get the rad to fit at the top when I placed it at the front of the case because it kept hitting the top of the case. Thats why it ended up mounted at the bottom. This video should open your eyes to be careful what parts you buy for this case. Certain motherboards and ram apparently affect the ability to mount your radiator and other parts the way you're supposed to.
Help can you use a non modular power supply pleeaaase i need help
did you need an another rgb/fan controller or did the one that comes in the case support all 6 fans?
Hey thank you so much for the video you saved me a ton of time
@@keiferhalpin502 it should support six fans maximum
@@ryanroytek7558 Man, i've installed a nom modular PSU with HD installed. It's possible.
Nice video, I almost had a similar issue, as I had a Zotac GTX 1080, and even without an AIO just the standard case fans it barely fit. Now everything is in it looks nice, but its definitely cozy.
Cable management is a bit tight if you leave the hard drive cage. Currently I have everything assembled but wanted to put in cable extensions, but I'm concerned I'll have to completely remove the drive cage to fit the extra cables in.
Iv just used this case in my new build I had the pipes of my rad the same as yours but had to turn it 180° due to noise coming from it.
I ordered this case for a build for a work mate and also the gigabyte Rx6600 Xt and now I'm a bit nervous that the card won't fit (my only saving grace is I'm not installing a Radiator in the case just a tower air cooler
I have 4 Corsair vengeance pro RGB and 240mm aio on top and it fit perfectly.
how were you able to fit them? cause ppl swear the parts wont fit. im asking cause im about to build my first pc and i have said case, ram, and aio
@@buttermilkdoug no fucking clue. It's a very, veryyyyy tight fit.
the rad or the fans wont push on the RAM?
@@buttermilkdoug there's no space at all. But it does push on it.
will a 280mm fan work with corsair lpx ram?
I know im late to the video, but i bought a 220t and decided just to go with it and shoe-horned a 3080 into it and i had to flop the middle front fan to the front of the mount and that was a huge mistake. I had no idea the case was as tiny as it was.
Do u think an msi rtx 2070 wouldve fit even with the fans on the radiator? Seems a a bit smaller GPU for the perfect fit
The gpu i had was already pretty small tbh
The msi ventus was a perfect fit bro for the push pull
How are your temps? I have a similar setup with 465x and front 3 fans as inlet and 2 at the top and rear as exhaust. I moved from vertical gpu to regular and that reduced temps by 10c on gpu, but my memory temps are shooting really bad.. Like 88c during stress tests while rest of the components are only doing 60 at that test. I have mounted the radiator behind the top two front fans.
This was a build for a friend. Not really sure how temps are since he has the pc.
@@Alexkrastev my mistake on memory temps. Those were gpu mem temps and not ram.. So all good on horizontal. Gpus for me
Hello, ll 120 fan is compatible with stock node ? ( 6 rgb node screw on chassis )
Stock one is 120 pro, your is 120 ll and I want to add one 120 elite on the back but ! With stock rgb node . Thanks you 😎
How long is your GPU?
I‘m thinking about an H115i Corsair in the front, because it’s to Lang for the top ang a 300mm GPU.
Do you know if it is working?
I could be wrong but the GPU in the video looks like the EVGA RTX 2070 Super, which is 269.83mm in length according to the EVGA website.
Max gpu clearance is 300 mm
Does the case include the RGB controller when you buy it new ?
So I have a 282 mm gpu etc 3060ti in route you think I could still fit my aio in front of it bc I have Corsair vengeance I’m putting in it too.:(
i try to install in a 2070 super trio and i end up by putting the mid fan on the out part of the front panel not inside is still look nice with 6 sp 120 pro fans and i still recomand this pc case even if the space is a problem
Does the 2070 with 3 fans fit ?
@@prod._Slatt no
I have the same exact PSU as yours (which is 180 mm long if I'm not mistaken)
will this PSU fit in that case even without removing the HDD base?
I’ve been looking for a new case for a while and can’t settle on one. I ended up finding this one on Corsair. Can anyone explain to me what is better because I was going to go work the icue 220T RGB Tempered Glass version, but I just don’t know what one to get.
airflow version of 220t is a lot better for thermals
JohnnyY ok that’s really good to know thank you so much
you could front mount the 3 fans. it look weird like this. i have the same problem but id dont pass from 2-3mm with my rog strix 3060ti graphic
i only want to say i think you should try to work with that aio since the pump is the highest point your are going to run into thermal issues basically premature damage to the aio or possibly cpu more than likely it will just start freezing your system and youll have to replace the aio because its not any good anymore
Do you think this case would fit two 140mm in the top instead? It's kinda hard to tell in your vid but it looks like it may have clearance issues with 140mm fans.
Hey, check out the previous video he uploaded on the case "Corsair 220T RGB Mid Tower Build Guide", then come back and re-watch this one, then you should have a pretty good idea
Nice tutorial, but I have a question: is it okay to have the rad push hot air into the graphics card like that? I'm thinking of buying this case and the only way to mount an AIO would be a front mount since I use Corsair's RAM and top mount wouldn't work.
And... What if instead of remove the two front fans, I just don't use the fans that comes with the radiator? Please heeeelp. I need to build this computer with some urgency. I want to put the kraken Z63 from NZXT. What do you think? Please answer. My specs are EVGA GTX 1070, Asus Rog z490 E Gaming, Corsair RM 1000x, Corsair 16Gb RAM RGB.
You can do that but in order to mount the radiator you’re gonna need to remove the fans.
@@Alexkrastev Thanks man!
you don't mount the radiator at a lower level than the cooler pump, if any air bubbles form, they're gonna be stuck in the pump and burn it
Are you sure that the LL120s alone will be enough to cool the radiator? if so, I am thinking of doing the same
your aio pump isn't going to last very long with the radiator and hoses below the CPU air will start accumulating at the pump and it will wear out very shortly after
I have Installed 2070 super with very narrow space. But I can’t add more graphics card according to 220t case
I’m just getting the single fan aio that will fit at the top 😆
How did it work out?
I’d say put it at the back 120 mm slot.
Sad Boi he should actually put it at the top cause hot air rises
my 240mm fits on top with 4 sticks of rgb ballistix ram
@@jay4vrschemin I ended up front mounting my aio, I think it looks good that way anyway, I forget I have an extra rgb fan
does a triple fan gigabyte rtx 2060 S oc 8gb fit with a Corsair Hydro H100i RGB Platinum SE watercooling at the front??
As long as it is no more than 280mm long yes it should fit. You can check this in the product specifications on amazon or on the gigabyte website.👍
good video but i dont think its good having the pump mounted above the top of the AIO cause it'll get air stuck in the pump
Hey question, Im about to order an aio for top mount inside this case but i measured the clearance i have for my trident z royal and im just 2 or 3mm to big with the radiator and fans. Cant i just order the same sized fans but slim ones to fix the problem? curious because it seems like an obvious solution but you did not mention it. am i missing something?
Not every fan you might want has slim versions, this video shows if youre using my parts, its not gonna happen basically.
@@Alexkrastev yeah sure you wont find the exact fans you want but at least you will be able to install a top mounted radiator? you saying its just not gunna happen is confusing, how come? im buying a 240mm aio that comes with 2x120mm fans and i found plenty of slim factor 120mm fans (same mounting points) it should work correct? i measured my clearance and the radiator with the slim fans should fit fine. finding the slim fans wasnt hard at all and it should just be as simple as changing out the fans? so in theory it should work. if im missing something with all that please let me know because it seems like a straight up simple solution in my case. def seems worth talking about because there are plenty of slim factor fans. unless you need 140mm fans which have 120mm mounting points. it would fix most peoples clearance problems if they can find the right size slim fans to fit there radiator no?
I’m sure that would work, but my channel is corsair rgb fan based.
@@Alexkrastev understood, thanks for the response man. awesome build. love your vids
Any reason you want to go top mount vs front mount?
So pretty much don’t change the front fans and my rtx3080 will fit ??
hey guys what psu do yous suggest while also using a hdd in my cart i currently have EVGA 700 BR 80+ bronze with a rx 5700 xt ryzen 5 3600 and the ASUS ROG strix B450-F
I suggest no hdd.
Alex Krastev i’m using a 500gb ssd so i think i also need a hdd i’m doing a budget build will the psu i have fit with the hdd ?
Jack ‘O’ that PSU is only 140mm so it’s short enough to accommodate the HDD bay
Miles Hunter wait so is that a yes?
do you think i can use a H115i AIO instead or do i need the H100i
You shouldn't use the static bag as protection under the motherboard as you build. The outside of the bag is conductive and is designed to divert electric shock away from the MB, not insulate from it. You should just use the cardboard box the motherboard came in.
Damn.. I almost ordered Corsair's aio for my new 220T case and I also have Vengence ram and 1080ti which is 290mm long...
Fortunately I changed my mind and go for Cooler master air cooler instead. Hope it will fit. 😂
Same fucking thing. I have the 980ti zotac and it's 330mm!!!
im pretty sure its physically impossible to fit a radiator in with a asus tuf 3070 oc edition for the front because it goes all the way to the end and with corsair vengeance ram for the top because they are very tall, idk what to do..
Actually got this case last year as a Christmas gift to myself.
Managed to fit a full Corsair H115i w/ 280mm double radiator, fitting at the front with fans blowing in
Had a 3 slot 1080 and it barely fit
Upgraded to a 3 slot 3070 and I have less than 3 millimeters of clearance with the front rad now
Lmao it's damn close
Can you Mount an 3070 (320mm) with an AIO in front?
@@Ranobin Yes, I have one in there right now.
It's a tight fit so you have to put the GPU in at an angle before rotating it to be aligned with everything else, but it fits. It's a Gigabyte Eagle OC 3070 if that helps with sizing at all.
@@brytonwhitforddeazevedo1013 thanks for the info. The Gigabyte have 286mm lenght. I want to buy an ASUS (320mm lenght) so it doesn‘t fit with an AIO in front. 🤷♂️

Fits in this case an Asus ROG Strix RTX 2060s Evo with 301x131x49mm dimensions?
The truth: that Corsair AIO will fit in the top of the case IF you go with Corsair Vengeance LPX (non-rgb) ram. You then can squeeze a triple-fan 2060, 2070, or 2080 inside without issue.
Noble 2 Kat no you can't. I had to bent the case to install a triple fan 2070

Nice i bought my first pc today with this case and i also bought the rgb ram. What should i do?
Send back
is there any way of having the color sycle trought all the fans as in the video with having icue on, I have 9 fans that i would like to have them sycle like so andstill use icue. dont want the color to just sycle in each fan like they do in icue.
haha i saw this video after i had already built my pc i used a 360mm rad in the front and the GPU wont fit ( its a 3 fan gigabyte rtx 3070 OC) I had to remove the fan in the middle of my AIO so my GPU would fit. and since the fans are behind the radiator in a pull config the rgb cannot be seen from the front glass of the case. Will be changing the case later on any suggestions?
How does this work for airflow since you're pulling air through the radiator into the case?
if he could do push pull it is great but he cant because then the gpu wont fit but with the radiator without push pull its still fine
can I also install a larger water cooling at the front?
Yes, if it is 360 then you need to remove the hard drive tray
Can someone explained what happened a little easier? Did he put the fans inside as opposed to the outside?
So I can't put the aio radiator at the front on the top 2 fans? I have to put it down at the bottom 2? I have this case and I got my PC prebuilt and the radiator is at the top 2 fans at the front should I move it down when I get more fans or leave it were it is?
In my situation with my exact parts, the radiator had to be moved down, the radiator kept hitting the top of the case.
@@Alexkrastev this helps alot I have a 2060 super if I install it on the bottom 2 I will be fine? I'm sorry for the amount of questions I'm a bit of a noob lol
What screws did you use to connect your motherboard to the case? I have an Asus Prime A Z390 with this case and neither came with screws to secure the motherboard onto the standoffs
The case is what comes with the motherboard screws.
did you use a hard drive for this build i'm planning to make a build in this case as well. should a order a hard drive for this case or only use sdd's
I’d say buy a SSD for the OS, and either another SSD or a HDD for everything else you plan to do on the computer.
Keep in mind HDD means slower load times, and possibly shorter life expectency than a SSD because of the moving parts.
@@jamesblueking9720 thank you! I'll keep that in mind i've watched a lot of reviews and no one used a HDD because it just doenst fit i'm planning to get a 650 + 80 + gold certified fully modular PSU and was hoping if my hdd would fit in it but i'm kinda questioning that rn any ssd recommendations?!
@@ChriszyInk people give HDD a bad rep but as long as they don’t house the OS they’re just fine.
@@jamesblueking9720 i just need the storage and kinda on a budget and ssd are kinda expensive it you want a 2tb one you know :L
@@ChriszyInk if you’re on a busget buy a 120-500gb SSD for the OS and buy an additional SSD or HDD later on
are the stock fans in the 220T all connected in terms of power?
Why are u mounting your radiator opside down the hoses are supose to be at the bottom to not push air in to the waterpump
Could you do a step by step by step by step and get in to really detail and plugging in. And make sure we can see what you are plugging in cause I got the same exact rig and still need help building.
>Who uses hard drives anymore?
*Laughs in 16TB RAID 1*
Ah so is the graphics card leaning up against the radiator bad for it or??
Alright. Question for you. Building in this exact case with almost the exact parts. Using the RGB node, you'd plug in the RGB headers to it. You'd plug in the remaining headers into the motherboard, no?
That node is for rgb lighting control only. If 6 is not enough for you then youll need another controller. You still have to worry about fan power too.
Same problem I had I almost didn’t plug in my three fans in the from because I thought it would draw power from the node but you have to also plug them in
CORSAIR - iCUE 220T RGB Airflow ATX Mid-Tower Smart Case does it need a mother board
and does it come with it
Um yes?
its just the case... why would it come with a motherboard lol
shoudlve just installed the three front fans on the outside of the case to give you space for the gpu and you can do the push pull for the rad
Would you recommend using a non modular psu for this case? Cause I ordered a non modular psu and I’m about to order this case
no
@@dokki124 do you know if I’ll need a fan splitter for the front fans? Or is it already split
I don’t think so, but maybe try and look it up
Question is it still good if we just use the 3 fans it comes with
Yea
Alex Krastev does it support a Gigabyte B450M DS3H (AMD Ryzen AM4/Micro ATX/M.2/HMDI/DVI/USB 3.1/DDR4/Motherboard)
@@nesuwtf, check how many fan headers you motherboard has. Mine has only 3 fan headers so I had to buy a fan splitter.
Alex Skye mine has 2 fan headers
Can you fit a TX650M in with a hard drive storage
How can i change the light of the front cooler

Hey will the hot air push inside and affect the thermals ?
I have gskill trident z ram and my corsair I100 fit on top just fine.
