Case for two Graphic Cards?

GrantW

Hi,

 

I am new to the forums, so please forgive me if I have asked something that has been before.

 

I am looking for a case that can support two RX 480's? (Strix edition so they are larger in width then the original refrence RX 480's). I was thinking of going with the Thermaltake core x71 case (link below) but thought I would ask on opinions, and what case you would think would be a good idea or a better idea.

Most cases with ATX motherboard support will work. The motherboard is what you need to be careful about. What do you look for in a case?

According to Asus, you'll need at least 11.8" cos that's how long the GPU is.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Most of the time I look for if its 'future' proof whilst on the Aesthetic side. I currently use a Aero Cool 500 ( I was on a budget at the time) but am now looking towards a better case.

I was thinking of that,too. Both are 'good' cases that have different features.

I have the S340 Elite White myself and i'm very satisfied with it. Doesn't come with the best cooling support but it's enough

This is the other case even I will admit I like quite a lot. 

 

And here are some pics of my p400s windowed edition with the xfx rx480 rs and my wife's p400 tempered glass with the msi rx480 reference card.

Comes with 4 fan 'spaces' so its enough in my opinion, of course.

Thank you for the warm welcome, in the meantime the case itself looks very nice. 

 

Very nice setups!

 

Sorry about the delay, by the way. Been very busy recently.
