Corsair 540 : CPU cooler cutaway and socket access on underside of MB

[mrblint]

With the Corsair 540 case, if you should want to change to a different CPU cooler, and must swap out the mounting bracket, is it easy to move the drive cage out of the way to get access to the underside of the MB?

Looks like it should be.

The Air 540 has an open motherboard tray, so unless your pump is difficult to remove, you shouldn't run into any issues.

I have a 540 AIR.

The 4 x 2.5" drive cage easily moves out of the way.
With the cage in place, you have access to 3 of the cooler mount bolts. The bottom right mount is partially hidden by the cage, which is easily moved.

Specifically, this:

The bottom right cooler mount bolt is hidden by the drive cage.
But that cage comes out easily by that little latch thing.
