00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.040
it's been three years since the Corsair air 540 cube case was released into the

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.759
wild and in that time we've stopped doing unboxings like this one i mean he

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.599
doesn't even build a computer in it what is that

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.560
Corsair forgot about cases for a while and then they finally launched this the

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:24.560
air 740. now the air 540 was an interesting case whose big selling

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:29.279
feature a dual chamber design for excellent airflow and loads of cable

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:34.000
management room worked well but it left some people wanting more especially in

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:37.680
the fan filter department so has Corsair met these desires and brought the

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:49.039
features up to the same modern aesthetic that the 740 has let's find out

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:54.719
mass drop is featuring the akg k553 pro

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:57.840
studio headphones featuring over ear close back construction check them out

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

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

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.159
server and a kegerator uh let's start with the front interrupting one of the

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

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

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

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:34.000
microphone jacks and an led switch which can be used with Corsair's new sp 120

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.000
and hd 120 RGB fan controller though it

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.119
should be noted you'll need to buy these separately

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.840
if you want to see this functionality in more detail we should have a pax west

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:48.399
coverage video showcasing it by the time this video is released so go check that

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.920
out if you're interested below these is a little removable panel which wasn't

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:56.320
mentioned anywhere in the reviewer's guide or manual and all Corsair would

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.880
tell me when i interrogated them about it was that it's a potential front panel

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.520
expansion module so we're guessing it may be a fan control

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:10.399
module or something and vr friendly cases are a thing now so maybe an HDMI

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:15.120
port another thought we had was that it could be an intentionally blank spot so

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

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:24.239
behind the front panel which is just easy enough to remove without worrying

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:28.720
about it ever falling off is a big fan filter with a well implemented magnetic

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:32.879
mounting system so we're looking good on the whole fan filter thing so far moving

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.680
on the top of the case very much resembles the front with the cross blade

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.560
esque design albeit slightly less pronounced along with some meshing to

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.360
cover where the fans will breathe through i think it's well implemented

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.200
and looks pretty awesome but maybe not something i'd rock on a daily driver

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:54.560
system though i'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.680
the bottom of the case pretty much resembles the top plus an arrangement of

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.560
solid case feet the left side panel is a large see-through plexiglas window

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.720
interrupted only by the handle release on the right hand side once opened it

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

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.159
while you're actually building the system the right side panel is mostly

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.840
plain but also includes a filtered cutout area for your power supply to

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:24.319
breathe through although the filter holes are so large that i would expect

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:29.360
that they're mainly going to be stopping spiders and flies from going into your

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:35.280
power supply instead of dust perhaps that's a problem at Corsair hq

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:40.560
so more fan filters they fixed the fan filter problem then well they improved

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:43.920
it but didn't in my opinion completely solve it the front intakes and power

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:48.480
supply intake are filtered as i previously mentioned

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

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:58.879
that price i expect filters wherever they could be a fan mount that could be

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.439
used as an intake anyways now that we're

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.640
inside we get to see that there is a ton of cable management holes and really

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.400
nice rubber grommets scattered everywhere that you could need them and

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:13.840
there is so much room i found the air 740 easy to

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:18.000
build into the point where it was rather relaxing like the comfy couch of

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:23.440
computer cases even just down to things like the graphics card mounting screws

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:25.440
being inside the case instead of outside

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

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:32.479
motherboard we have yet again so much

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.800
room you can mount three hard drives and four ssds all in their respective

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:40.080
tool-less trays while just absolutely not caring about cable management

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.919
because there isn't going to be air pushed through here by any fans anyways

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.199
like i did or you can use the abundant

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:51.040
zap strap loops on the back of the motherboard tray the CPU heatsink

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.720
mounting cutout is very large and well placed and the power supply mounts

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:59.199
sideways as you probably guessed from the side panel vent i mentioned earlier

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:03.440
it also has a little metal bracket that goes in front of it this might seem

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:08.800
unnecessary if you're building your own pc but i would recommend installing it

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:13.120
if you plan on shipping your computer but all of that said cooling is a big

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:18.000
deal for this case and it shows it's compatible with up to eight 120

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:26.240
millimeter or seven 140 millimeter fans a 240 or 280 mil top radiator a 240 or

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:29.440
280 mil bottom radiator and a 240 to 80

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:31.280
or 360 mil radiator in the front that's

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:36.479
a lot of freaking cooling especially when none of that will have to fight

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:38.800
with anything like hard drive trays SSD

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:42.479
bays or even cable management unless you're insane and just shove all the

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.320
cables in the main compartment for whatever reason which i think leads

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:52.000
pretty well into the conclusion the Corsair air 740 looks rather striking in

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

00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:00.560
i was working on my notes for this review it supports a fairly insane

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

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:10.479
have ever personally handled with ample amounts of room and toolless access to

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

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.600
large in every possible dimension it's ginormous

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.680
and if you consider how much of the space behind the motherboard tray is

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:26.720
actually used it feels like you're making a trade-off for that ease of use

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:31.360
so if you want a wicked looking case and an easy building experience this may be

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:36.120
for you but those of you confined to small living spaces

00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:40.639

who knows it's a mystery link or links not sure which one watch this video

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:57.919
which is our old air 540 video because you get to see like Linus just

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

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:06.639
unboxings with no prepper he would just open the box and then just talk as he

00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:11.520
rotated the object around so welcome to the start of Linus tech

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.520
tips yeah
