The Corsair one is also 2mm thicker then the EVGA one so that pushes the tubes even closer to the PSU shroud there at the bottom.

#4000D BUILDS FULL#

However, it is a full 10mm (0.4') longer then the EVGA one which is not an insignificant amount from what I can see. Has anyone mounted a Corsair iCUE H115i RGB ELITE at the front tubes down in a 4000D? That one is the longest overall of the ones I researched so if it actually fits any I am considering would. Has anyone done a 280 AIO in a 4000D at the front tubes down (any mfg) and had it fit without having to modify the case/PSU shroud (I won't do that)? So the main issue with mounting it with the tubes on the bottom (where they should be and not top mounted as I understand it) seems to be the overall length which could put the hoses in conflict with the PSU shroud. 4000D EVGA 280 AIO Tubes Down Front Mount I only plan to use one set of fans (front/case side). The dual push/pull fans make it a little tighter as the hoses would have a bit more upward play I believe without the rear fans.

The AIO in that pic (see below) was an EVGA CLC280 (312mm/12.29' L). I don't know if there is any up/down play available there and it could have been slid up or not for better clearance or if it is maxed now (probably maxed)? I have only seen 1 pic with the tubes pointed down and it is super tight at the bottom. The issue is I want it with the tubes down not up and THAT seems to be an issue with 280 vs 240 due to the PSU shroud. The issue is not physically fitting a 280 at the front really as the case supports that. Even though I could mount it on the top (I have the needed RAM clearance and I believe Motherboard clearance) I want it front mounted. I know all about the clearance issues (RAM and possibly Motherboard heat shields) with top mounting a 280 in a 4000D but I actually don't want to put it there. My question is about a 280mm AIO for the FRONT of the 4000D Airflow case.

Hoping to get some help with an issue/question I have.

One day it will happen.Īfter about a month, developed a problem where PC can't wake up from sleep normally.Hello all.

#4000D BUILDS UPGRADE#

Don't think there's anything I can do about it until I upgrade my 6+year-old 1070. Undervolted GPU through Afterburner curve and reapplied thermal grease: GPU is still thermal throttling. Was surprised how big a difference it made. Undervolted CPU by 0.09V: Now consumes 280W running Cinebench r23 as opposed to 320W. Daisy-chaining the fan wires is also a good idea (think they are already showing that off at CompuTex 2023). It is virtually impossible to add any piece of modular wire into the PSU in the future.Ĭorsair really need to think of a better way to house their own RGB controller in their own case. In hindsight, the 1 single screw isn't probably that important, but it feels really wrong to leave it.

#4000D BUILDS INSTALL#

Whole process to install 1 screw took about 2 hours. Have to use a folded strip of paper to get the screw into position, screw through holes on the roof of the PSU shroud, then tear the screw from the paper. Have to install PSU before reinstalling 3.5' bay, which leaves inner screw unreachable.
