Issues Found

In my build out I ended up using Thermaltake Water 3.0 240 All In One CPU cooler. As you can see the radiator I wanted to mount on the top of the case did not fit without interfering with the motherboard. I could potentially remove the fans and install them on the outside of the case but that would require the installation of fan guards and make the case look ugly.

Another big issue noticed here is the access to motherboard headers. The board I am using here has 90° rotated connectors that require connection to be connected from the bottom of the case. Carbide 275R does not have enough room for me to install these cables unless I remove the motherboard completely out of the case first.

Besides these two major issues on my part, there weren’t any other issues to mention. I did end up mounting a ThermalTake Water 3.0 AiO on the front of the case. No issues there.
