Hi All,

Still undecided over a case into which I can transplant my current m-atx rig. In the shortlist are:

Air240
Phanteks Evolv
Parvum S2.0
350D

Thoughts?
 
If I was you being practical I would get the 350D.

But I can tell your going to buy the Parvum anyways stop longing it out. :D

well haven't started my build yet im waiting on a pump and water block but from just offering things up im sure you can get a d5 pump in the front if you take the 3.5 inch hard drive bays out and still have room for a 240 rad in the front that's not bad for a matx to get that gear in most case,s I have to get handy with the drill lol

I will be doing a build soon it may only be a cpu only loop though as the amd 290 blocks are getting hard to get hold of god knows why ?

--------------

o yes as a foot note don't try lifting the case from the top or sides the top and sides come off very easy as I forgot and found out lol

ill be posting lots of pics of the build log the parts I have waiting are 4690k cpu msi z97m mobo amd r9 290 msi branded 600watt psu painted white to suit the case and more to come lol
 
A Z97M Gaming 5? My friend just got one allong with a 4670k, I was overclocking it with him the other day and the load line calibration is absolutely perfect out of the box. Uber stable voltage, really impressive you could get very lean on the voltages, managed to get 4.0GHz running nicely with his tiny 92mm cooler.

no its just a msi z97m not the gaming 5 its the matx one I think they only make one matx in the range I've tried overclocking in the bios but it wont let me change the multiplier don't know why but in the os I have had it up to 4.4ghz at 1.25 volts at 100% load I got a temp of 40c so not bad I think but im new to 1150 and z97 so who knows lol :)

Yeah there is a thing for that somewhere, then you just highlight the multiplier which appears to be locked/greyed and just overtype what your after, assuming it's a similar BIOS. Not quite as intuitive as Asus.
