To the lower right you can see that you'll get 8 PCI slots to fool around with, in theory you can house up-to four graphics cards in here. I measured and graphics cards can even be up to 370mm in length / 320mm top before you bump into the front side mounted fans, so you'd need the GeForce Titan XXL Titanic edition for that.

Maximum GPU Length: 370mm (320mm at top slots)
Maximum CPU Cooler Height: 170mm
Maximum PSU Length: 225mm (fitted in rear compartiment)

You secure the graphics cards or other cards with a thumbscrew. At the top side we can see one 140mm fan, it is included and installed for you already. With another compartment there obviously is plenty of space on the backside to route all cabling through. We'll show you that in a bit.

You can see many holes (grommeted) with rubber inlays, these are used for proper cable routing. The 740 is probably THE chassis to get when it comes to cable routing as the space for that is just ginormous (is that an actual word?). You can see already where SSDs are mounted, just look behind that motherboard tray.

Located at the right front you'll spot two mounted 140mm fans (PWM controllable). BTW I haven't mentioned it just yet but the Carbide Air 740 can handle ATX, Micro ATX, E-ATX (albeit not 100% sure about that one) and Mini ITX compatible motherboards.

At the bottom side we can see that the chassis rests on rubber feet, this prevents resonating noises coming from the PC, and makes your chassis more silent. It's all very decent really. Missing however, is a dust filter.

Corsair HS65 Wireless Headset review
Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review). It ranges from budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS65 Wireless in this review (today is the debut).

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.
