I would like to modify my Corsair Carbide Air 240 Side panel to support my current graphic card width.

At the moment im using MSI GTX970 and the width of the card is wider than the carbide air 240.
as result heat pipes touching the inside window of the case.

Temporary solution: i remove the acrylic from the side panel metal frame, however i still want to close the system.
Anyone able to provide / recommend where i can modify the side panel and extend the acrylic panel slightly wider?


Thank you

Can't you put a washer to make it wider?

Thanks for the input, if i put washer the acrylic is located inside the frame, so it will be even more narrow

Not sure if i can do that, because the current side panel is using clip, meaning i need to drill a hole and if the space is not much i worry it will crack easily...
