1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,040
it's been three years since the Corsair air 540 cube case was released into the

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:11,759
wild and in that time we've stopped doing unboxings like this one i mean he

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,599
doesn't even build a computer in it what is that

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,560
Corsair forgot about cases for a while and then they finally launched this the

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,560
air 740. now the air 540 was an interesting case whose big selling

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:29,279
feature a dual chamber design for excellent airflow and loads of cable

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:34,000
management room worked well but it left some people wanting more especially in

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,680
the fan filter department so has Corsair met these desires and brought the

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:49,039
features up to the same modern aesthetic that the 740 has let's find out

10
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:54,719
mass drop is featuring the akg k553 pro

11
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,840
studio headphones featuring over ear close back construction check them out

12
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,159
in the link in the description down below now i talked of the modern looks of the

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,479
air 740 in the intro i think it's like some kind of awesome mix between a

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,159
server and a kegerator uh let's start with the front interrupting one of the

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,799
cross blades which is what i guess i'll call the cool things that go across the

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,520
front of the case is a large set power button down a bit from there and you

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:27,280
have in a row from left to right a reset button two usb 3 ports headphone and

18
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:34,000
microphone jacks and an led switch which can be used with Corsair's new sp 120

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,000
and hd 120 RGB fan controller though it

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,119
should be noted you'll need to buy these separately

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,840
if you want to see this functionality in more detail we should have a pax west

22
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,399
coverage video showcasing it by the time this video is released so go check that

23
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,920
out if you're interested below these is a little removable panel which wasn't

24
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,320
mentioned anywhere in the reviewer's guide or manual and all Corsair would

25
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:00,880
tell me when i interrogated them about it was that it's a potential front panel

26
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:05,520
expansion module so we're guessing it may be a fan control

27
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:10,399
module or something and vr friendly cases are a thing now so maybe an HDMI

28
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,120
port another thought we had was that it could be an intentionally blank spot so

29
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,520
people can 3d print their own logos and stuff i don't know we'll have to wait and see

30
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,239
behind the front panel which is just easy enough to remove without worrying

31
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,720
about it ever falling off is a big fan filter with a well implemented magnetic

32
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:32,879
mounting system so we're looking good on the whole fan filter thing so far moving

33
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,680
on the top of the case very much resembles the front with the cross blade

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,560
esque design albeit slightly less pronounced along with some meshing to

35
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,360
cover where the fans will breathe through i think it's well implemented

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,200
and looks pretty awesome but maybe not something i'd rock on a daily driver

37
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:54,560
system though i'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments

38
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,680
the bottom of the case pretty much resembles the top plus an arrangement of

39
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:04,560
solid case feet the left side panel is a large see-through plexiglas window

40
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,720
interrupted only by the handle release on the right hand side once opened it

41
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,920
can be easily lifted off of its hinges so you don't have to bother with it

42
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,159
while you're actually building the system the right side panel is mostly

43
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,840
plain but also includes a filtered cutout area for your power supply to

44
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,319
breathe through although the filter holes are so large that i would expect

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:29,360
that they're mainly going to be stopping spiders and flies from going into your

46
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:35,280
power supply instead of dust perhaps that's a problem at Corsair hq

47
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,560
so more fan filters they fixed the fan filter problem then well they improved

48
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,920
it but didn't in my opinion completely solve it the front intakes and power

49
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,480
supply intake are filtered as i previously mentioned

50
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,920
but the top and bottom sections remain bare it's a 150 us dollar case and at

51
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:58,879
that price i expect filters wherever they could be a fan mount that could be

52
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,439
used as an intake anyways now that we're

53
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,640
inside we get to see that there is a ton of cable management holes and really

54
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,400
nice rubber grommets scattered everywhere that you could need them and

55
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:13,840
there is so much room i found the air 740 easy to

56
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:18,000
build into the point where it was rather relaxing like the comfy couch of

57
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:23,440
computer cases even just down to things like the graphics card mounting screws

58
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:25,440
being inside the case instead of outside

59
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:30,240
it's not a huge deal but i do prefer it that way moving in behind the

60
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,479
motherboard we have yet again so much

61
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,800
room you can mount three hard drives and four ssds all in their respective

62
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,080
tool-less trays while just absolutely not caring about cable management

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,919
because there isn't going to be air pushed through here by any fans anyways

64
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,199
like i did or you can use the abundant

65
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:51,040
zap strap loops on the back of the motherboard tray the CPU heatsink

66
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,720
mounting cutout is very large and well placed and the power supply mounts

67
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:59,199
sideways as you probably guessed from the side panel vent i mentioned earlier

68
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:03,440
it also has a little metal bracket that goes in front of it this might seem

69
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:08,800
unnecessary if you're building your own pc but i would recommend installing it

70
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:13,120
if you plan on shipping your computer but all of that said cooling is a big

71
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,000
deal for this case and it shows it's compatible with up to eight 120

72
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:26,240
millimeter or seven 140 millimeter fans a 240 or 280 mil top radiator a 240 or

73
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:29,440
280 mil bottom radiator and a 240 to 80

74
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,280
or 360 mil radiator in the front that's

75
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:36,479
a lot of freaking cooling especially when none of that will have to fight

76
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:38,800
with anything like hard drive trays SSD

77
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:42,479
bays or even cable management unless you're insane and just shove all the

78
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:46,320
cables in the main compartment for whatever reason which i think leads

79
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:52,000
pretty well into the conclusion the Corsair air 740 looks rather striking in

80
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,600
a cool way i had a surprising number of people in the office comment on it while

81
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,560
i was working on my notes for this review it supports a fairly insane

82
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:05,520
amount of cooling and it's possibly one of the most easy to build in cases i

83
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,479
have ever personally handled with ample amounts of room and toolless access to

84
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,039
drives etc but is there too much room i mean look at this thing next to me it's

85
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,600
large in every possible dimension it's ginormous

86
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,680
and if you consider how much of the space behind the motherboard tray is

87
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:26,720
actually used it feels like you're making a trade-off for that ease of use

88
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,360
so if you want a wicked looking case and an easy building experience this may be

89
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:36,120
for you but those of you confined to small living spaces

90
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:40,639

either to amazon or our store where you can buy shirts or both

105
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:52,880
who knows it's a mystery link or links not sure which one watch this video

106
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,919
which is our old air 540 video because you get to see like Linus just

107
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,759
say random things about a case that he's never seen before because he used to do

108
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,639
unboxings with no prepper he would just open the box and then just talk as he

109
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,520
rotated the object around so welcome to the start of Linus tech

110
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,520
tips yeah
