Corsair 680x case

[carlos726811]

Hey guys. Was wondering how do i remove the front bezel/glass so i can clean the filter. I know there is 2 thumbs screws inside to remove but cant remove as the gpu is in the way and the cpu cooling radiator at top in way aswell. So i thought would it be quick to remove front and clean that way thanks

Normally you remove the filter rather than removing the glass, they usually slide out?

Cant get to filter due to all fans installed n gpu. I know how to remove gpu. But not sure how to remove radiators at the.top and.bottom

Oooooo, yeah, that's a bit naughty of them, usually the dust filters will just slide out of the case without having to take anything apart, but not so on this case.

It much easier just to remove the GPU than take off the glass panel,

I have the same case and I had to remove to glass due to a small defect causing a bulge on the bezel not being flush to the glass, (which was a pain to do), and it far easier and quicker just to remove the GPU than it is to remove the glass panel,

The filter is magnetized to the door that swings open,

If you can get the door to open just slightly, you can just about be able to pull the filter out and away from the door,
the red circle I've marked is the easiest way to get and pull the magnetized filter out as there's a notch to get a hold of the filter, to be able to get it out and clean it.

I have removed the gpu. But still cant open tray due to radiator with fans for cpu and radiators on bottom. I have no idea how to remove them

This is my PC and I don't have to remove anything to get my filter out to clean,
I may not have fans on the bottom, but there's still enough room for me to undo the thumb screws and open the door just enough to get to and remove the filter,

You shouldn't really have to remove anything to get the filter out, though removing the GPU can make it easier for more space,

Is you Radiator Capacity 240mm or 280mm. As mine are 280mm, and the Radiator Capacity Touches the Front Door where there fans located, So that reason i cant open.

Mine is the 240mm H100i,

You could try to remove the radiator from the top of the case by undoing these thumb screws but you will most likely have remove/disconnect the radiator fan cables, to get the radiator out...

Doing this, allows you to get to the filter just above the radiator, to give it a clean if needs be, which will then give you better access to the front fan filter as the radiator will be out of the way to open that front fan door,

You will have to remove your GPU just to have more space to work in/with.

To remove the front glass screen you need to pop off the cover on the right hand side of the glass (this just pops off, no screws).

Behind the cover you will have 4 small screws on the LHS - remove those.

It seems for some models that's all you needed to do and the glass would then pop out (that's what the manual states) but on mine there were another 3 screws behind the left hand side of the glass (first one is just to the side of the thumb screw holding the grill on). Remove those 3 screws and the glass pops out.

Image shows where the screw holes are on the glass frame.
