Posted May 21, 2015 So, I am about to start building my system and I don't know if I should get the h440 or the enthoo pro. I'm kinda giving the edge to the h440 for being a bit nicer on the looks. But in any case, (cause it's a case, get it? ~linus) I'm wondering if a single bitfenix alchemy 30cm lit strip will be enough. For the same money I can get 2 12cm strips for both the top and bottom of the case, cause i've been told that only one casts a shadow. Does anyone own the h440 and can give me some advice? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 21, 2015 Author Get the two strips and the h440 The two shorter ones? Will it produce enough illumination to look nice? If you plan on Water cooling i wouldn't get the H440. It will choke the hell out of your rads. Especially up top. I'm planning on using the h100i gtx. will it not fit? I've seen people fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 21, 2015 I'm planning on using the h100i gtx. will it not fit? I've seen people fit it. It will fit. The rad will not get adequate airflow. If you dont plan on over clocking it is probably fine. With my H440 i noticed a 10c drop in temps when i removed the front and top covers. Very restrictive. You can't be serious.

Posted May 21, 2015 Author If you do get a H440 paint the vents the metal color very easy and nice mod oh no.. I so much like the black / white contrast It will fit. The rad will not get adequate airflow. If you dont plan on over clocking it is probably fine. With my H440 i noticed a 10c drop in temps when i removed the front and top covers. Very restrictive.

Posted May 21, 2015 Author So this is the final build with the nzxt h440 on the list. I am buying from mindfactory. I've been told it's good. It has good prices. Any changes to be made?

You could get a smaller PSU (500w) and an EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 for better looks (those have white LED lighting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a GTX 970 (sadly ) but I thought g1 was the best performer out of all the gtx 970's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Asus Strix will, though (white LED). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 21, 2015 Would go for enthoo pro, better for water cooling, if you get lux edition you get cool mulitcolour changing strip built in. Magical Pineapples
