Case Choices

[joey117]

Hi all, I am looking a super friendly water cooling case. I have been looking at reviews on Youtube and other sites and nothing has caught my eye. The case needs to promote quietness and support a 1x360mm radiator and 2x240mm radiators, all radiators are 45mm thick. It can be anything as long as it is not a MicroITX motherboard. If you have any suggestions of good cases coming or know of any please post below.

Many thanks

If you are up for modding, the nzxt phantom 630 or switch could be worth looking at. Other options could include silverstone tj11, obsidian 900d (corsair?), or the caselabs merlin.

The case lab stuff just blow my mind , good looking cases but really really dear.

I wouldnt go 900D. Airflow is really messed up in there (even with watercooling). Caselabs stuff is nice, but freakin expensive.

750D/760T/780T are the options from Corsair really. Maybe there are some Lian-Li's the right kinda size if your looking at higher tier stuff I haven't checked lately.

They are not many cases that support a 360 and 2x240s out of the box. The only that could probably do it is maybe the Corsair 540 air.. 2 on the left side and 1 on the other. After that point its really just bigger cases that costs a lot more.

Why do you say that?

I guess you are talking about the 900D. I don't have personal experience, but what I say is what I've heard from people on forums/youtube.

 

[BigDaddyKong]

Trust me, the 900D has a few of its own idiosyncrasies, but poor air cooling is not one of them. To be honest, if I could get that side door release in a 750D, I would be in that case for life.

Lmao, I didn't even realize I actually posted this. Still agree with my high self though

Im for the phanteks Enthoo Primo as well, you can fit so much rad space into it.
Though as mentioned before the NZXT Switch 810 is also an option, I managed to get 2 420's and a 360 to fit in my case, with minimal modding. The 420's werent thin either.

Another vote for Enthoo Primo. I can't think of any other case that is so well set up for water cooling.

 

[joey117]

My only problem with the Enthoo Primo i have looked at review and build logs and water cooling guide and everything i have seen looking super untidy wiring every were and tube every were , is that a builder problem are the case not support the parts well

cant really say thats an issue with the 900D. had no issues regarding that. i dont recommend the case though

There is also the HAF stacker by CM, which according to some is effing brilliant and to some others is fucking ugly
And the COSMOS II which I've actually seen one with watercooling built in. The cosmos is huge and I think that for its size the usable space in there is not much

Storm trooper/stryker.

Top - 240
Front - 240 or 360
Bottom - 240

Or a 240 on the front (to keep HDD/disk drive bays) and 240 on the bottom but you'd need to do a 5 minute roof mod to have a 360 up top.

BEST... CASE... EVER...
