Corsair iCUE 465X RGB - a good fit for my new build?

[Gamer Schnitzel]

I usually post on another hardware forum but it has gone pretty dead over there so I will try my luck here.

 

I am going to build a new PC once BF hits and need feedback on a case.

I looked up a few and want to go with the Corsair iCUE 465X RGB.

The reason is that it has space for my 360mm AIO in the front and space for my 240mm AIO in the top.

 

Can someone please let me know if they think that it is a good choice?

 

The CPU I will be using is the i9-9900K with a 360mm AIO and a AORUS GeForce RTX™ 2080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE 11G which has its own 240mm AIO.

It's not a bad choice but you could have better with a Coolermaster mb511 RGB or h500/p/mesh/m they will have better airflow for your room heater computer.

I see but the H500P Mesh is quite a bit larger than the one I linked. I calculated the size and it is 35% larger than the Corsair one. How much better will the temperatures be to make up for the additional size?

5 to 10°C better I'd say with direct airflow.

Okay, I will go with the one you said but I have one last question.

I am planning on putting the CPU AIO on the front but in your case there are already 2 200mm fans. Can I leave those 200mm fans in and just use a push pull with the AIO fans or is there not enough space?

You would need to remove the front 200mm fans to achieve Push/Pull at the front
