I’m pretty hopeful I’ll be able to swap the 6x140s towards the 120 with the retailer. It’ll be 2x360 xr7s up top and 12 ql120s. I did make 2 holes in the back of the case just in case the second system would become too much on the single loop and I would then connect external rad/s, ambient here in Dubai can get pretty high I will have a second itx system in there with a 5950x and a 6900xt all on the one loop so more rad will be useful. There were a couple of online retailers in the UK but they only do slow mail so paid the black market man on Amazon as the build process is on hold, and it’s taken up all of the dinning table □ So decided to give in and go in all the way found the 8x120 on. Hey that turned out quite nicely! Both of us seem to have gone with a very similar build, I have the same motherboard, 2x 3090s, 12900ks and the dominator ram Where am I supposed to find a tray?! They keep building these cases with 8 x 120mm trays in the front by default, so surely they could build a few extra trays? Perhaps this is why he has only three sales. And the shipping for this extremely heavy 10-ounce item? A bargain at only $65. With only three sales to his name, he's selling it for the low, low rate of. I found this nice Canadian guy selling it on eBay. Reasonably priced, but they won't ship internationally unless the order exceeds $150 and it wouldn't ship for three weeks. The tray itself is supposed to retail for only $10 ( |-Parts/PC-Components/Cases/Obsidian-1000D-8x-120mm-Fan-Tray/p/CC-8900160), but that doesn't help if it's not available. I've seen a few 8 x 120mm trays scattered here and there, but they're either ridiculously expensive and/or coming from outside of the United States. While I can't imagine there's been absolutely no stock in 2 years, this seems to be the standard. ANYWHERE.įrom searching the web, I've seen plenty of posts indicating that stock issues on these trays apparently date back to 2020. The only problem is that I can't seem to find ANY trays for the 1000D. So I decided to go with an 8 x 120mm tray up top with 2 x XR5 360mm radiators and 12 x QL120 fans. I went back and looked at Corsair's Obsidian 1000D YouTube video more carefully and found that while it looks like they're using the default tray configuration, they're actually using a 4 x 120mm tray up top and only placing a 360mm radiator with 6 x QL120 fans in the first three slots, which is how they avoid any clearance issues. Even if removed the one offending QL140 fan, there would still be no room to run any tubing to the inlets/outlets on the XR7 radiators. With everything assembled, the front tray went in just fine, but when I tried putting in the top tray, the front-most bottom fan up top won't clear the top fans on the front. I chose to go with the default tray configuration, so I put 2 x Corsair XR7 480mm radiators along with 16 x Corsair QL120 fans on the front tray and 1 x Corsair XR5 420mm radiator along with 6 x QL140 fans on the top tray. I've spared no expense or extravagance in building this system, but I'm running into clearance issues with my radiators/fans. I've been building systems for 30 years, but this is my first liquid-cooled build and the buzzword for this build is "overkill". I'm building a new system in the Corsair Obsidian 1000D case.
