Is it too big ?

[Sgt.Noli]

Hello,

Is it possibly that a case is too big ?

I want to buy the Corsair Graphite 760t. I will ''only'' put one GPU in it.

Thanks for your answers !

Might look a bit empty

That's what she said.

 

It's not as bad as in a 900D but it can look odd. Depends on what other hardware you are going to put inside. A massive heatsink and a lot of fans can make the PC look like more.

 

Have you looked into other, smaller cases?

@  I will put in the Noctua NH-D14

I also like the Define R4 or the NZXT P410

Also make sure that it will be good with your desk, unfortunately mine is in a shape that allows me to only have small cases.

I have the 750D which is slightly larger than the 760t. And to be honest, it looked a bit empthy before I put a loop in there.

I guess you like the massive window of the 760T? Do you have other cases in mind? I know it's not easy, because there aren't that many alternatives to such a big window.

I don't want to dictate your taste but maybe a different case would fit better.

Noctua in a windowed case   Great coolers but the fan colour is  :blink:

The title made me think of some very NSFW things...

 

There is no such thing as a "too big" case but it will certainly look very barren and empty. If you throw a custom loop in there or a huge heatsink it will look more fulfilling.

Don't do it. Use the be quiet! 3 Pro

@Izaya Orihara the Problem with the H440 is, there is no place for an optical drive

Is the Dark Rock as cool and quiet as the Noctua ?

Get an external one. Also it's not quite as cool (like 2 degrees hotter) but it's noticeably more quiet.

@Izaya Orihara ok thanks than i will go with this CPU-Cooler

Yes it is.

 

Do you really need an optical drive? I would use an external DVD burner. They're around 30€ on amazon. It will be perfect for the 3-5 times/year that you need it.

Well I haven't used it once since 4 years. (All digital)

I still have one in my PC and i use it about once in 2 months. But yet i am too lazy to take it out and get more clearance for my fan controller.

I have a 600T with one gpu. It looks fine, plus the bigger room will allow for better temps if your airflow is good
