  1. That's a better idea. That way I can use one of the drive cages and put my ssds on show in the front. The radiator would also then have fresh air while still separating the heat from the rest of the case. (Namely the GPU)
  2. I think I've decided on the Node 804. My thoughts are to put the radiator at the back in the right channel, have my 2 140mm fans at the top of the left channel and move the other fans around that. Thoughts? Also does anyone know what the clearance is like in the left channel top and front? Even though I'm planning on putting the radiator in the right chamber, I wondered whether both fans could be used in the front alongside the rad in the top?
  3. I agree. Best price on Amazon is out of stock as of now, but it's on my watchlist. Thanks for all the help.
  4. The Node 804 actually looks pretty good although a little outdated
  5. I have ordered at the Define Nano S and had to RMA it for being faulty. It was also catching the PSU. Great case but no support for cards slightly over the 2 slot limit.
  6. Yes they are on the top of the case. I also now have two nocutal 140mm fans in the front of the case, and another 120mm cougar fan pushing the air out of the case. I can set these all to 100% in the asus fan xpert software and the GPU will still be hanging around 90oC
  7. Can anyone recommend a case for my current build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/timoral/saved/3ZrFf7 I need the case to be able to give good airflow for my MSI R9 390 Radeon 8G Gaming which in my current build (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX) has poor airflow. It almost catches the metal which separates the power supply from the rest of the case, which is why I am looking into Micro ATX cases to allow for the extra airflow. The case will still need to support my Asus Z170I ITX motherboard however while supporting good cable management etc. If there is a Mini ITX case which supports a beefy graphics card then let me know, but so far, all I can find are small enclosures with nex to no GPU airflow. My budget is a maximum of around £100. Anymore and I might as well buy a new GPU. (The GPU is currently running at 90oC and I have already tried replacing the the thermal paste with no results so I am down to assuming there is a major airflow problem. It can get to 95oC and throttle in most games. Any type of overclock will cause it to overheat and shutdown the PC.)
  8. I'm having this issue too.. I have the same mobo, CPU and memory, apart from it's 2666MHz. Whenever I enable XMP, my pc doesn't boot causing me to force it off. I turn it back on and get an overclock failed error. The only way to get my system back up and running again is to disable xmp..
  9. Yeah I plan to put them both on a monitor arm anyway
  10. I want a monitor to accompany my old 22" 1920x1080 LG monitor and am thinking of going down the 2560x1080 route instead of the 2560x1440 route as 1440p monitors are either too expensive or at risk of inferring customs charges from shipping from South Korea to the UK. This monitor seems to fit my needs and is currently selling for 190 pounds. What are you guys thoughts on this monitor for gaming and some productivity? Does anyone own one? What are your thoughts? Thanks
  11. The Kuhler 1250 looks great, especially since I haven't tried any water cooling setups yet and this would start me off nicely
  12. I really like the design with the aluminum matte black. Loving the IPS panel too.
