Can anyone recommend a good case that has damn good airflow, as much as I like my CM 335U Elite I need a better one because I have a pair of GTX 780 Lightnings and currently they are sat in their boxes because the case can't deal with the heat produced from them.

 

With both cards installed I'd like some room to be able to put a fan between the HDD cages and the cards buy either modding the case or just using zip ties to effectively make the fan float (should work).

Corsair Air 540, it dropped the temp of my 290X Lightnings by a bit

 

not to mention it looks sexy, and has a great layout imo

I really like and want Corsair Air 540, did you think about that one ? :)

Definitely air 540. My stock Asus Strix 970 never gets above 60c while gaming. Even with a GTX 520 slightly restricting the airflow underneath it.

 

My advice: Air 540, with three 120mm fans intaking air in the front (high airflow fans) and dual high airflow 140's exhausting out of the top.

 

Great case, great airflow, excellent cable management.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
