case recommendation for dual gpu

ultra99

I have a Vega 64 and rx570 with 0.5-1 slot space in between (gpus on 1st and 2nd pcie slots). Obviously, they run hot, especially if gaming or rendering. I don't want to have my case open, Lian Li dynamic (1st gen), even though, they're still hot. Having an GB Aorus Master motherboad, what would be a good option for case for the gpu to be on 1st and 3rd? Any ideas?

 

Looking at these pics, I don't know how the temps are like, look concerning.

You'll likely want something with a side mount fan option like the Cougar MX 331 Mesh-X.

 

I have two 1070ti's stacked on top of each other in a Level 10 GT (which also has a side mounted fan) and temps are solid despite running 24/7

Links have redirects which are arguably even worse than don’t work.  Hard to know where they are going to go.  
 

lot of heat means you need a lot of available air flow. A case with good from AND side airflow seems like a good idea so @TVwazhere’s suggestion makes a lot of sense.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Thanks! That particular is not available in Canada. Do you have any other recommendations?

The side fan, would be intake or exhaust?

Intake; feeds the cards directly with fresh air. 

 

The MX330 is the predecessor to the 331 and seems to have availability in a few Canadian stores 🙂

I really wanted to get this case to replace the one I have right now. But this thing only uses 120 mm for front intake while I currently have 2 140 mm Noctua P14S Redux. That means I'll have to buy new ones. Man oh man.
