Case Cooling – Lots of Options!
Air Cooling
The Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Full-Tower case was designed with good air-flow in mind to keep all your high-end gaming hardware running cool and reliable. There are eight different case fan mounting locations along with support for liquid cooling.

The 750D comes with three Corsair labeled AF140L fans preinstalled. Two 140mm intake fans on the front panel and one 140mm exhaust fan on the back panel. Additional fans can be added (up to 8 fans) if you choose. This provides very good baseline cooling and results in positive air pressure inside the case, which along with the three included air filters helps keep dust out.
The following table lists the noise generated by the three included case fans while operating at different speeds with the side panels on. Sound Pressure Levels were taken 3’ from the front of the enclosure. The ambient background noise level was approximately 26 dBA in a quiet room.
With all three fans running at full speed the noise is noticeable but certainly not loud while providing very good airflow through the case. Slowing the fans down by reducing the voltage (or by adding your own fan speed controller) still keeps air flowing but quiets the case to an inaudible whisper.
Liquid Cooling

The Obsidian Series 750D also supports liquid cooling with four different areas available for mounting one or more radiator/fans of different sizes.

Now if only Corsair would
Now if only Corsair would manage to ship some of these to Finland… been waiting since the launch and still nothing.

Maybe im a bit dense, and its already written somewhere, but what brand is those red/black fans, looks pretty damn good.
To answer my own question i
To answer my own question i guess they are Corsair, sadly i can only find them with a blue design instead of the red.
The rings are swappable on
The rings are swappable on Corsair AF and SP series fans. The fans include blue, red, and white rings in the box.
Fuk. That side panel is ugly.
Fuk. That side panel is ugly. Last thing I want to see is the inside of my PC. I’m not a 14 year old living at my mom’s house.
All PC cases need to have full metal side panels. No one gives a shit at what the inside looks like.

If you’ve got high end parts and have taken the time for great cable management, a side winow is a must.
Ignore the old codger above. I’m not 14, have a large disposable income and exactly the kind of customer who buys high end multi monitor/gpu’s and other parts. Exactly the customer enthusiast PC vendor wants.
You’re damn right I want a side window to enjoy my toys.
Sorry you feel that way, but
Sorry you feel that way, but the majority of sales are on the other side of this. We launched the 350D with a solid and a steel side panel window, and the window one outsells the solid one significantly. With the 750D we decided to avoid the headache and offer the windowed one only.
If you’d like, you can always buy a second solid side panel off our website and replace the windowed one. Not an ideal situation, and adds cost, but since such a small minority prefer cases without windows, we felt it was the best solution.

I’m a girl, I’m in my 30’s, and I love seeing inside cases. And no it’s not because it’s somehow new to me – built my own computers for over a decade now. The nondescript black boxes get awfully boring after a while.
Go back to your dead-end life with no imagination, and leave the rest of us alone.
That’s your opinion jerk-off!
That’s your opinion jerk-off! Everyone who has a PC with a see-thru side panel isn’t a child…some people like to show off their high-end hardware to their friends. You obviously don’t have any high-end hardware, nor do you have any friends for that matter…
As usual I am envious of your
As usual I am envious of your having all that high end gear lying around to stuff in the box.
Anyway, any chance you can include the build materials, i.e. steel or aluminum or plastic or some combination, in the key feature list?
Dear PCper.
I love your
Dear PCper.
I love your reviews. Please, please please don’t make them video only. I’m not so lazy that I can’t be bothered to read and I love reading your reviews.
Too many websites are getting lazy. I like this one !

Hmm…. I’m 46yo guy, haven’t lived with my parents since I was 17yo and I like side panels and lights. Those dual GPUs look cool 🙂
Id love to meet that 46 year

I’m over the hill and
I’m over the hill and surprised older people are into window panels and lights inside the computer case . I’m searching for a good case (like this one) but without windows or weird case shapes.
Yes, I read I can buy a solid panel for this one.
Very nice the case, but I
Very nice the case, but I dont see the dust filters on down side, only for PSU. I can recommend this the DustEND dust filter (sticker) http://www.dustend.com оr popular the DEMCifilter (magnetic). I dont have any association to them.
