High-Speed USB 3.1 Gen-2 Type-C Port: Front panel connector puts future-proof connectivity within easy reach.

Massive Cooling Potential: Install up to 8x 120mm or 7x 140mm fans for massive cooling potential, with room to mount up to four radiators – including one 360mm such as the CORSAIR Hydro Series H150i PRO liquid cooler. Three crystal-clear tempered glass panels, fitted in the front, roof and a hinged easy-access side panel door, provide a stunning view of your PC’s high-profile components. I see that on the reference build guide (attached) this is very different from what is recommended, my main questions boil down to:I recently did my first ever custom loop in my 680X, I came across a few fitting issues during my first attempt, but you can see my final result below. Reference build guides present maximum radiator configuration with reference design graphics cards. As a build guide it's showing the most complex build for targeted case. Any other variation will be less complex / easier to build.

An included CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO turns the 680X RGB into a smart case, powered by CORSAIR iCUE software that brings your system to life with dynamic RGB lighting. The 680X comes pre-fitted with 3x LL20 RGB fans for improved aesthetics. Extensive air and water cooling options are included as you may install up to 8x 120mm or 7x 140mm fans for proper cooling potential, with room to mount up to four radiators – including one 360mm. It's also equipped with magnetic dust filters on all intake fans which allows for easy building and maintenance.

Final Thoughts & Conclusion

Building on the legacy of CORSAIR’s multi-award winning Carbide Series Air 540, the 680X RGB uses a dual-chamber layout. By separating your headline hardware from drives and cables, it is easier than ever to create an immaculate build. The dual-chamber design ensures a Direct Airflow Path between the included cooling fans and your PC’s hottest components, efficiently directing cool air to where it’s needed most. In addition to the four included fans, the 680X RGB boasts room for up to eight 120mm fans and four simultaneous radiators (up to 360mm in front, up to 280mm in the roof and floor, and up to 140mm in the rear), providing a huge range of options for custom cooling systems. Finally, a vertical graphics card mount lets you put your graphics card center stage – perfect for the 680X RGB’s three crystal-clear tempered glass panels in the front, roof and side that show off your components.

Removable top, front, floor and PSU dust filters: Keep your system looking great long after your build is finished. Easily install up to 3x 3.5in and 4x 2.5in drives in tool-free drive mounts, for high-capacity, flexible storage configurations.

About Corsair

Acrylic tubing (Corsairs Hardline options) are not ideal to start. Find and use the same dimension PETG tubing and use that. Acrylic is entirely plausible as you can see from my build, but its a lot more messing around for nearly that exact same result. Thanks for the response and the input. I appreciate your insight and you showing your loop off, it looks great! :biggrin: Intelligent Control, Unlimited Possibilities: An included CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO turns the 680X RGB into a smart case, powered by CORSAIR iCUE software that brings your system to life with dynamic RGB lighting synchronized across all your iCUE compatible products, including fans, RGB LED light strips, DDR4 memory, keyboards, mice and more. The CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB and the CORSAIR Carbide Series 678C are available immediately from the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors, as well as direct from the CORSAIR webstore.

So I am still not 100% sure on the pump being up front, because I don't want it to look too crowded, but it's good to know that I have that option!

Introduction

The LL120 RGB fans can be individually controlled with a wide range of animations and colors, static as well as off. For my below configuration I have a top and bottom mounted 240mm rad. I intend to change the air flow soon to find the optimum.
