Cases

[Hunter99]

Now i have 2 cases maybe more, but i want to know what´s your opinion

1.Cooling
2.Room for watercool and long graphic cards

Choices
CM Strom Stryker
or
Corsair Obsidian 650D
You can add some cases who have those good options too about 100-200 dollar

Thank you all
(Sorry for my bad English and sorry for my last case post i dont know how to delete this)

If you want A LOT of watercooling:
NZXT Switch 810 / NZXT Phantom 820, 630 or 530

If you're okay with 2x (thick) 240mm rads in a smaller ATX chassis:
Fractal Design Define Arc Midi R2

 

[Hunter99]

But these cases arent good then ?
Nad there are not some 530 cases
And are these good cases ? NZXT Crafted Series ATX

The thing is that (if you're not modding) the Storm Trooper/Stryker only take 2x 240mm slim rads. The 650D takes 1x 240mm slim and 1x200mm, but there aren't really any 200mm fans out there that work well on rads.

The NZXT cases I just mentioned can take 1x 360mm (up to 80mm thick) and 1x 240mm thick rad (up til 80mm thick). The Arc Midi case takes 2x 240mm rads (thick).

The OC3D review on the Eisberg wasn't all that impressive. If you want a closed loop with expandabilty you're probably better off with the Swiftech H220.

If you're only looking for closed loop coolers and you never want to go full watercooling anyway, any of the above cases will work. You'd be best off buying a Corsair H100i.

That Swiftech H220 can do that too, and better. 'Boost my PC' is sponsored by Asus and Cooler Master (Ever noticed they only use those 2 brands?) so naturally they picked the Cooler Master unit over the Swiftech one.

Then why is h220 better i like eisberg very much i think its best of those what u think ?

You can read the reviews here:

My opninion is that eisberg looks better and have better specs but u reccomen h220? where is the pump? reservoir ? no reservoir is it good or bad ?

 

[Feronix]

Read the review mate, the H220 is a better performer.

The pump is built-in in the CPU block and the res is built-in in the radiator.

 

[Hunter99]

i dont like that radiator can i switch this and what that performer do this amazingly good ?

You can buy a different rad but in that case you're going to need a new res as well. By the time you've spent so much money you'd be better off getting a custom loop.

 

[Hunter99]

And there we go , for this i like eisberg more see pump and reservoir in
And what u mean h220 have more performen ?

It will perform better, as in:
It will keep your temperatures on your CPU lower. That's what coolers are for :lol:

 

[Hunter99]

aaa jajaja mh idk what to take eisberg looks better and he have reservoir in, i dont want buy new reservoir it dont look great if i mod my pc but 1 year time to think so ;D

 

[Feronix]

Maybe you're best off getting a cheap but decent air cooler for now (Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo?) and then go custom watercooling next year?
