Question 1

What gets coolded by the integrated liquid cooling?

Accepted Answer

The Central Processing Unit or CPU is what is cooled by the built in water cooling system. There is room in the front of the case for another 240mm radiator if you were to add a separate cooling loop for say a video card. I own this case and love its looks and the way it keeps my Processor cool. LED's in front helix could be a bit brighter.

Question 2

I don't see a location for any kind of disk drive, CD/DVD/B-ray. Is that true, and by design? See very odd. Thanks for any information.

Accepted Answer

There is no drive slot/bay on this case.

With the world going towards all digital downloads CDs are less common for a lot of applications. I suppose it could be looked at as an issue, but external drives are always an option, and by adding a drive bay they would have had to adjust the cooling system, which would take the whole case down a notch or two.

I gave up on disks a few years ago switching to faster and larger USBs; I do keep an external handy, but so far with my new build I have yet to use it.

Question 3

Does this case come with a fan hub for the radiator fans, or should I buy that separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes it comes with a 3 to 1 hub for the top radiator fans.

Question 4

does it have a place for an sshd?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.

This case has 2 internal 3.5-inch bays, and 4 internal 2.5-inch bays. Most HDs have a form factor of 3.5", while most SSDs have a form factor of 2.5", and SSHDs can really be either 3.5" or 2.5".

In either case, yes this chassis can internally support a SSHD. In fact, it could support several SSHDs at once depending on each drives form factor.

Question 5

Is this a full-size tower?

Accepted Answer

No it's a mid-tower that will accept full size ATX motherboards

Question 6

i read all the reviews about the liquid cooling system leaking, have they fixed it or is it still an issue? i don't want to invest the money on a case thats going to ruin all my other components

Accepted Answer

I pre-ordered this case got it first day it came out has not leaked on me, always check the tubing before installing and you should be fine. You can always add additional sealing around the tubing to make you feel safer before installing.

Question 7

Does the case come with the cooling liquid? If so, does it ever need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the liquid is included and already installed. It is a closed loop cooler, so no you do not need to do the same kind of maintenance, like replacing liquid, on it as you would an open loop system. However, you may run into the issue I had of having to rotate the CPU attachment 180 degrees from the shown specs due to my motherboard's CPU position. This has caused a little more stress on the tubing connection than I would like, so I always check for leaks on startup. Hope this helps!

Question 8

what cpu socket does it fit? does old 2011 socket work to (not 2011v3)

Accepted Answer

Pretty sure it fits all sockets. I put a 6700k with a ASUS sabertooth. The Bolts went on the closer holes, but there where holes further out for a 2011 socket on the same backplate I installed. Hope this helps. If it was me and I had a 2011 socket I would order it. Great case so far. CPU stays VERY cool.

Question 9

is leaking in AIO cooler is common in this case?

Accepted Answer

Don't know about common, but it happened to me.  It was beyond the Newegg RMA date but Deepcool refunded my money for the case.  My leak was weird in that all the fittings were good but there was a pressure buildup within the loop.  I removed the loop in it's entirety from the case, released the pressure, and the pressure built up again with the loop just sitting on my desk (not in the case, not cooling the cpu, not running, not even attached to a power supply).

Question 10

Does it fit 2011v3?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is yes however the socket type is not the determining factor for case fitment. This case will fit all ATX, mATX, mITX motherboard form factors.
