That is a nice case, would i have any trouble fitting a 240mm/260mm radiator in there? That case however is definately one of the most fitting i have seen so far! Thank you bdigital, ill do some more research into it now! EDIT: Just had a look around and right in front of me in bold letters: "Can take W/C radiators with no modifications lol thank you again bdigital!
GPU is a project that wont be complete for a while yet, at the moment im focusing on getting some nice cool water on CPU! I'm sure if i do go for that case, somewhere down the line in between uni i can mod it to accept another rad somewhere? and im sure you will help me
might wanna take a good look on CM 690 II too if you haven't yet, takes two 240mm radiators without any sort of modding whatsoever. Here's mine, with CPU loop only atm.
Yeh, we looked at that. It's a very fiddly case to do that in, as you have no space. The one anove fails anyway as the pump is sitting on one of the fans blocking it completely...
Big lian li is the only way really. My PC-70 (very old school) is a monster check the log in my sig. I just throw gear in without a problem.
True, but that is a nice build slowmotionsuicide, I have the same motherboard as you with a 5850 as well... The case is no smaller than my antec 300, at the moment I'm juggling between the xigmatec and the coolermaster, unless there is a full tower meeting my requirements lol! I definately want a window in it, the mobo is too sexy to hide away!
You can always mod in a window again... And if you sell your old case on here you'll make an extra couple of pennies to put towards it...
Or you could go with the utgard & then buy a seperate windowed side panel (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...gard+Chassis+?productId=40714&source=googleps). With the window added on it'll cost about the same as the Coolermaster.
Yer, I added a window in to my case at the moment but it hasn't come out how I wanted, it vibrates a little when all the fans are on! I checked out the xigmatec window and it looks really smart, the coolermaster case comes with a window edition which also looks cool, at the moment I'm swaying towards the xigmatec, an still looking through websites to see any other alternatives! But it's looking pretty perfect for me, I just cant find anyone who has it to see how it looks with everything inside!
Here's my Utgard build http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=189892 It's a tidy little case to work with, I'll be mounting my x mesh panel shortly...
Thanks mate, that looks really quite nice, I thought having the rad on top would be much bulkier! cable management looks good also, unless you're just a pro at hiding it! thanks again mate appreciate it
Your welcome With reference to the rad you mount the 2 120 fans on the shelf and the rad underneath Cable management is just taking the time to do so neatly, nothing to it
A quick before and after test summary with a single XSPC RS240 Ambient room temperature 22.8°C i5 750 running on 1.33750V Clocked @4.011Ghz Pre test idle... Recorded temps after a 29 minute Prime95 blast... Using CPU-Z I observed the Core Voltage fluctuate between 1.328 - 1.344V under load during the course of the 29 minute test.
You could probably squeeze in an EK CoolStream XT 240mm Dual Radiator which is 47mm deep, the XSPC is 35mm deep
I like thank you again Now unfortunately I have more questions/requests for advice! Are there any pumps people would reccommend that could cope with CPU and then eventually one day gpu as well?
