00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.720
the Corsair carbide air 240 is essentially a mini version of the

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.360
carbide air 540 the air 240 is about 40%

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:14.440
smaller than its bigger brother and designed for matx and mitx motherboards

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.440
while maintaining the dual chamber

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:25.039
design with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knok you could

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.560
instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:34.040
system click now to learn more once you get out of the box you'll notice the

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:35.800
pack material which is well hard foam

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:41.320
and bad in terms of the actual case we'll start from the front of the aggressively stylized housing or you'll

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.800
be greeted by a pair of power and reset buttons that feel fantastic and have

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:49.480
great Audible and tactile feedback along with these two buttons you'll find a

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.800
storage usage LED audio jacks and dual USB 3.0 ports once we come around to the

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.760
back of the unit we see a glorious amount of thumb screws which is the

00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.920
result of the removability of the top bottom and both side panels the left

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.479
side panel has a very large polycarbonate window which will allow you to show off all of your main

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:09.000
components I'm very happy they went with a large window here as with even very

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.119
minimal Cable Management it is quite easy to make your rig look pretty

00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:17.360
amazing due to the decluttered dual chamber design next up is the right side

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:21.200
panel where an externally mounted fan filter is found which is actually quite

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.920
well secured by its magnets and even shaking the case like a crazy man didn't

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.960
dislodge it which is nice to see as I was worried about it falling off the

00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:31.479
second I laid eyes on it both the left and right side panels featur these nice

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.000
thumb screws that stayed attached to the side panels when you removed them but

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.439
Corsair didn't bother to include this feature on the bottom and top panels

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.799
which is quite unfortunate as you will be needing to remove them from time to

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:45.399
time first we have the bottom panel which will need to be removed in order

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.880
to access the filter which is built into the bottom panel that filter will be

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.040
filtering the three potential fans which can be mounted in the bottom of the case

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:55.920
and your lowest mounted graphics card unit the bottom panel also doesn't come

00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:59.280
with any feet installed but in the accessories bag you'll find four 3M

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.600
rubber feet which you can install yourself a fairly odd Choice from

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.960
Corsair not to just pre-install them but I guess it would be really nice if you

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:11.280
wanted to have the case in a different orientation secondly we have the top panel which will also need to be removed

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.519
due to its built-in fan filter which will filter your top three potential

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:20.360
fans other than that the top panel is also used to house the SSD cage ssds are

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.959
quite easy to install in this cage due to its bendable Trace system but I would

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.200
have really liked to see a hot swab plate on the other side due to the

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:32.319
drives being installed somewhat externally it would have made the installation of them much more elegant

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.879
before we head on inside we have to check out the hard drive cage which is

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.560
accessed from the back of the unit just above the power supply I was happy to

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.879
see that the thumb screw of this little door stayed attached to the door once

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.959
you removed it although I do think it would be kind of cool if the door was on

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.239
a hinge instead of needing to be completely removed whenever you want to

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.519
open it the hard drives are installed in the same style as the ssds with the

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:57.560
bendable Trace solution and just like the ssds I would have liked to see a hot

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.280
swap plate on the other side and yet again it would have made a much more

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:05.200
elegant process inside the back of the case we get to see the internal views of

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:09.000
those storage Bays the installed ssds aren't the easiest things to plug cables

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:12.799
into needing to come up from the bottom doesn't really make it that much better

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.319
but it's generally okay the hard drive cage is easy enough to use for hard

00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:20.440
drives but also stands directly in the way of your CPU power cable and your CPU

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.599
cutout on the back of your motherboard Corsair's solution for this is a thumb

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:28.280
screw which is included with the hard drive K making it removable and this

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.879
makes the CPU cutout very easy to access but doesn't solve the problem for the

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:36.680
CPU power run issue I was able to run the CPU power cable from my Corsair

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:40.319
rm850 behind the cage and mashed the cage back into its Spot while pinning it

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.200
down with one hand and installing the thumb screw which ultimately held it in

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.720
place with the other this worked but only because the cable was flat and I

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.000
would never actually recommend you do this what I would have liked to see

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:55.200
Corsair do was cut a hole in the hard drive cage that lines up with the CPU

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:59.360
power cut out this would allow you to opt out of installing a third hard drive

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.720
in exchange for a clean and easy CPU power cable run instead of the current

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:08.280
Solutions which are messy power cable run and a hard drive bay or clean power

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.000
cable run and no hard drive bay neither of those Solutions sound like a very fun

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.480
compromise to me there are plenty of cable management loops on the back but I

00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:18.919
didn't bother use them I'm not super worried about having a cable Nest back

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:22.919
there as it isn't exactly blocking any crucial airflow and you won't really

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:26.960
have to look at it due to the awesome dual chamber design then we finally come

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:30.440
to the inside of the main chamber where again due to the dual chamber design we

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.759
see a very clean and greatl looking aesthetic especially when viewed through

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.600
the side panel window it would be hard to make this build not look fantastic

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.919
due to how naturally clean the case appears if you opt to go with an AO

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:45.440
liquid cooling unit you will be likely installing it in the front due to

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.600
restricted space above the motherboard limiting you to just fans without a

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.600
radiator or just a radiator without fans that being said the front of the case is

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.039
close enough to your CPU socket that pretty much any cooler should work and

00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:00.160
while it's possible to install a liquid cooler with tubes on the bottom making

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:03.639
it work would kind of sa rifice aesthetic a lot and it wouldn't really

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:07.320
fit very well either this is what led me to notice something with an matx

00:05:05.479 --> 00:05:11.280
motherboard which is what I expect a lot of people to install in this case due to

00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:15.240
its size and an AI liquid cooler in the optimal position having the tubes at the

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:18.759
top you really can't access as many fan spots as I had hoped you're able to

00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:22.600
install one fan in the top with the rest being obstructed by your AO AO liquid

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:26.000
coolers tubing and it's likely that none of your bottom fans can be installed to

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.240
either the radiator or the headers on the motherboard instructing those next

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:34.479
up we have the two 80 mm fans in the back which I don't expect many people to

00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:38.800
be rushing to fill 80mm fans are notorious for being audibly annoying of

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.800
course there are exceptions to that but because of this I very rarely see them

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:48.759
being implemented that leaves us with the 120 mm case fan in the back of the

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:54.400
unit which is going to essentially mostly cool your cables so effectively

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.600
with a dual rad AIO liquid cooler and an matx board you will likely have your

00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:03.880
radiator fans and one fan in the top of the case but this thing is called an air

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:07.240
240 and if you installed an air cooler you can avoid some of these issues and

00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:10.520
be able to fill the top of the case with fans another thing that deserves its

00:06:08.919 --> 00:06:14.960
time in the spotlight is the graphics card Installation System which is very

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.440
easy to use due to its hinge mechanism and the fact that it doesn't require any

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:23.919
screws at all due to the ability to install an matx motherboard and the fact

00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:27.440
that the case is quite long you'll be able to use this Installation System to

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:33.039
plug in up to two graphics cards at a maximum length of 290 mm and last but

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:36.800
not least is the case blackout the HD audio does have a little bit of color on

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:40.800
the end but all of the other included cables are completely black and the rest

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:44.960
of the case is completely black as well including the soft rubber grommets this

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:49.000
will allow the case to suit virtually any color scheme you throw at it and

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.280
this yet again caters to the great aesthetic of the a240 speaking of great

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.800
Aesthetics today's video is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club the manly sued
