I want a case that fits a 3080 and a noctua d15. Looking for a mitx or matx. Need alotta airflow. If it has dust filters, even better. Any suggestions? Currently I have a corsair 280x. I love the look of this case but the airflow is piss poor.

I have the perfect ATX case for you, do you mind some extra space?

Build:

  • CPU: AMD 3700x                                           
  • Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO RGB
  • Motherboard: MSI x570 tomahawk wifi
  • Memory: Teamforce Delta RGB DDR4-3000 16 GB
  • Graphics Card: EVGA 1660 SC ULTRA
  • Case: Fractal Design Meshify C
  • PSU: Fractal Design Ion 660w
  • OS: Win 10 Pro
  • Case fans: Sickleflow 120 RGB (3-pack)

                                                  

 

Nothing I say is guaranteed to be correct, please remember this. I'm still learning every day.

Feedback is appreciated!

(in other words i can say stupid stuff so double check what i say)

Those two options are typically mutually exclusive, given all the stuff you will be packing in.

Have you considered an open frame case? There are some very nice ones out there

Well I have the ATX version of this case, and I’m loving it. So here’s the micro atx version: https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-meshify-c-mini-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352086

 

edit: (it has dust filters)

So take one of the sata power plugs, and turn it into a cattle prod, they'll learn 🤣

But in all seriousness, I can see where that would be a problem, open cases and curious animals is a disaster waiting to happen

Check out silverstone's sugo series 

https://www.silverstonetek.com/product_case.php?tno=1&tb=119&area=en

 

Or their ps15pro for a more traditional style case

https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=942&area=en

yeah the sugo series cannot fit a 3080 or 3070. 3080s are mostly triple slots.

 

ps15pro looks pretty legit but it does not offer much cable management.

this looks like a good choice. I dunno. I really like the look of my 280x but the airflow just sucks so much. Thanks for your recommendation. I am gonna sit on this one for a while. What are your thoughts on NZXT h510elite? This looks like a strong contender as well.

It's a nice case, but I think it's a bit too expensive. But if you're an RGB guy it's a nice case. Meshify C has GREAT airflow because it has a mesh front. Promise. 🙂

noctua d15

Opps, sorry. I just checked the height restrictions of the ps15pro; it only has 158mm of space for a cpu cooler. That noctua needs 163mm of clearance. The sugo 14 or 15 can fit out to 182mm. So those are your best bets.
