ThermalTake View 71 or 91

[AngryBeaver]

So I am going to start getting pieces together for a Ryzen 3000 build. Trying to decide on a case. I know the 71 will probably be more than enough, but still hesitant on a mid tower as I will be doing a complete custom loop build. I know the 71 doesn't support 60mm thick rads, but does anyone know if the 91 does? I mean I will probably run 2 420mm and probably 1 360mm rad in the view 71, which is complete overkill, but having the options for 480's in the 91 is tempting.

 

I mean I know that even dual 420's are going to be overkill for what I am doing. I will probably just be cooling the CPU and VRM's via monoblock and a 2080ti that I can finally put in a machine. I might go overkill and cool the m.2's, but chances are I won't bother.

 

So opinions on view 71 vs 91. The price is pretty much double for the 91, but price isn't really a concern for this build.

I like all avaliable space to be taking up. So I prefer the smaller case aka 71.

Unless you are going to be running 2 loops in the build

Nah dual loops is pretty pointless imo. I would prefer to run dual pumps in the same loop for redundancy if I was going to go that route.

Based on their website and their graphic I'd say no to a 60mm 420 RAD (notice how the 480 RAD is shown thicker than the 420.) Maybe a 38mm or 50mm thickness assuming that 400mm rad is 27mm thick. 

 

I'd go with the 71 because the amount of wasted space in the 91 is..... Excessive unless you REALLY fill it.

Ya, I agree with the space being excessive. I mean the only think to really eat up some of the space is the pump/res combo and from what I have seen it fits just fine

I feel if you went with 38mm rads, or maybe only one 60mm rad at the front, you should be able to fit everything just fine in the View 71. (that might limit side rad options though)

I have HWL 360 GTX + 420 GTX in mine. Worked out quite nicely. I don't see to many cases out there that will fit this configuration at the View 71's price point.

Very nice. Your build looks good. I am still undecided on this TBH. I still have a good 4-5 months before the new Ryzen line hits, but I will probably get things rolling a month or two before then. If the 91 goes on sale I will probably jump on it just because lol.
