I wouldn't have guessed the code... lol. I think I'm content with not saving $15 at this point, just needing a case badly. Good deal for everyone else though!
Production Sliger SM550/560/570/580 (2 and 3 slot riser layouts, with air and liquid cooling variants)
- Thread starter KSliger
- Start date
Not yet. Everything is just SO TIGHT in there. Every time I think I have a plan, I have to go back. I need to replace my Vengeance Pro RGB memory with something low profile (borrowed 8gb of low profile DDR4 from my partner's machine who now has my Vengeance Pro) and will have to get some very flexy short power cables (looking for UNSLEEVED cables to reduce bulk) so it's slow going.
I was going to grab a 580 but I think I will wait for a bit. Seems like it's way less complicated to just stick with easy air cooling. I like to just buy whatever I am feeling and seems like at the moment, the Cerberus is easier to make work in that configuration. I think I would rather have slightly bigger dimensions and not have to worry so much about what will fit in there.
I don't know how to get any quieter than silent already with my 560 anyways honestly.

Same code to my luggage!
They are going to get a lot of new orders, methinks.
Well at least they're gonna get rid of a couple carmine red panels because of me
. Just ordered my Cerberus X and my 3900X should be showing up on Tuesday.Judging by the traffic at the booth, Sliger has a busy month coming up filling orders. I'd get em in now!
If you have a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum/Pro, it won't work, so don't even try it. It's a waste of time.
I wanted to confirm that wkarma's findings regarding the Corsair H115i RGB Pro also applied to the Platinum as I had already purchased it. Well, after several hours of tinkering with it, I can't find a way to make it work.
Here's what that looks like:
Although the front ball-stud is now clear, the rear isn't:
It's not that obvious from the photos, but the ball-stud receivers are making contact with the raised portion of the dimpled area of the radiator. The top mounting plate won't let me adjust the radiator any further back even though there's a few millimeters of clearance remaining. However, I don't even know if that'd make any difference.
Here's a top-down view that shows how the panels are now bowing out as a result of the ball-studs not having enough room:
After swapping the panels, it's not as bad, but it's still unacceptable:
I'm going to remove it and look for a different one. I just hope my case isn't f**ked up permanently now. ?
This is the difference between the h115i pro rgb on the left and the kraken x62 on the right. Kraken slides right in while the corsair just won't go.
Kicker is both have the exact same listed dimensions.

Is there a chance the panels would sit flush if the ball-studs or the radiator was filed or machined down? I have access to files and milling machines and am about to order. I already received my h115i platinum. Is the squared end of the h115i actually holding water to the edge or is it just empty with an internal rounded tank. Thinking about milling the corners off at a 45 degree angle.If you have a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum/Pro, it won't work, so don't even try it. It's a waste of time.

wow thx for this. I was gonna try my best to mod the h115i to somehow fit it in the case. thx for taking your time out and trying your best. I hope your case isn't permanently messed up, guess i'll pull the trigger on the nzxt now. someone on reddit was saying they removed the ball studs from the front and window side, but are now unable to close the case and was looking for another way of getting the front and side panels on.
Hey @KSliger I incorrectly didn't put the cable option as "both" on the sm580 when I ordered it a while ago... I sent an email about my error and was told that they could fix it and that they would send me a charge for the piece that I added in. My order was just shipped but I didn't get sent the extra charge.. I guess that means that it wasn't sent with/added to the case. How can I order this option?
Woohoo! Ordered my case way back on the 4th at launch and got the notification it shipped today! Hopefully I'll have my Pslate cables sometime next week when I get a chance to build!
Nice. Mine will be here on Monday and I finished making my cable set earlier today. All set to build.

What if you used slim fans at the top? Looks like it will clear the top studs and be a bit higher to clear the lower studs? With the slim fans, there might be room to put the standard fans under the rad for push pull?
Also, placed my order for a carmine red SM560. Super excited!

So, basically, they won't fit and close properly with the h115i in any orientation. That's good to know. Very unfortunate

How did you mount the 140mm fans/ 280mm up top? I don't see an opening to get the screws in.
If it does work, I'm unwilling to make that compromise. I also can't test it for you as I don't have any on hand.
To remove the mounting bracket, you have to unscrew the four screws (two on each side) that become visible once you've removed the side panels. It fits very tightly, so you'll have to use quite some force to get it out. If you have the handle installed, you'll have to remove that beforehand.
BTW, I wouldn't recommend completely tightening down the radiator/fan screws to the mounting bracket as it'll make it much more difficult to get the right fit for your radiator without the ability to slide it slightly in either direction when reinstalling the bracket into the case.
