Suggested case for SLI gpu/hardline cooling...

Nebula93

I am looking for the best case to build a dual gpu hardline cooled pc.  I’m interested in the Lian Li ROG WGX v2, but it’s not out yet.  So I am left looking at what’s currently available.  What are some of the best cases for hardline dual gpu builds?

Any case can do that. 

 

Need to decide on how much radiator space you can fit. Wanting to cool two cards and a cpu and full power. 

 

Then the things you want , narrow or wide footprint, tall, glass and storage limitations. 

Main RIg Corsair Air 540, I7 9900k, ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero, G.Skill Ripjaws 3600 32GB, 3090FE, EVGA 1000G5, Acer Nitro XZ3 2560 x 1440@240hz 

 

Spare RIg Lian Li O11 AIR MINI, I7 4790K, Asus Maximus VI Extreme, G.Skill Ares 2400 32Gb, EVGA 1080ti, 1080sc 1070sc & 1060 SSC, EVGA 850GA, Acer KG251Q 1920x1080@240hz

Assuming the style fits your preference, many of us (myself included in the link in my sig), have found the Define series of cases from fractal (particularly the S(2)) to be fantastic midtower cases to build hardline dual gpu pc's in. I'm using a 280 (45mm) and 420 (30mm) rad to cool 2 980tis and a 5820k all super overclocked. That load is as much as basically any you would see these days, so it gives you a bit of an idea of how much radiator space you need/want.

 

The Define R6 and S2 have full panel tempered glass if that's your thing compared to the only 'large window' Define R5/S I used.
