Case for watercooling?

[asim1999]

Enthoo Pro or Define S

[asim1999]

I have a Asus V Rampage, it has 16

I have a Rampage V in mine aswell, it has 8 slots so it supports quad graphics cards and EATX 

[gamerking]

thermaltake core x9 or 900d

[JetPowerss]

Define S is a pretty good option and quite small. Also has a large side panel window allowing to see into the case well.

The Rampage will fit in the Enthoo Pro. the Rampage is has 4 physical PCI slots, and each of them can be used in the Enthoo Pro. There wont be compatibility issues, even if you decided to go with, say, 4 titans. I dont know where you get 16 from..?

im sort of a noob, my motherboard says PcIE x 16 i thought it was that.

OOOOOHHHH

 

Yea thats not what it means. It means that there are 16 lanes coming from the CPU to power that one slot.

Look into Linus's 5820k vs 5960x video about SLI to understand more what I mean.

I will gladly second the hype regarding the Enthoo Primo in this topic here. I used to have it, but switched to 900D for a few modding reasons. Sold the Primo to a colleague a few weeks ago.

 

During the time when I had the Primo, I was able to fit an Alphacool 480 Monsta in the bottom compartment in push pull, with no modifications needed! It literally fit out of the box.. Just to give you and idea of the radiator options.

In the top, a UT60 in push/pull and my HW-Labs SR1 also fit up there. Both 480.

 

The options are endless with that case, and it's just so well thought through - with a few nitpicks like the reservoir bracket being too large for high-end GPUs (but it's removable) etc.

i recommmended in another thread the thermaltake core v41 mid tower. it has offcenter top mount fans so you can fit a 360mm rad on the top without any issues. you also might be able to fit a 360mm rad in the front along with a 360 at top but dont quote me on that. it also has hdd/ssd mounts behind the mobo so you have more room for radiator/reservoir.  its also only about $85

[arnavvr]

ThermalTake Core X9 for $169- This case rivals the 900D at the half the price.

[DBUndeR]

barely 30mm I heard

 

This is only the case for radiators that use 140mm fans:

• Top – 420, 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators. (A thickness limitation of 55mm for both radiator + fan applies on 420, 280 and 140 mm radiators)

even better in some aspects

Can fir 4X480 monstas with some modding. 

[gamerking]

thermaltake core x9 or 750d are my choices i own both now =) sadly only my corsair case get watercooling love atm

[arnavvr]

Yup, It can fit 3 480's if you remove the hard drive cages, but can fit 4 if you mount your PSU externally.

[shert73]

What about the front?

Also I want to reccomend case labs cases

He said 200$ those are like 600$+ cases.

[Br3tt96]

Phanteks Enthoo Pro would be my first choice

 

If I ever did a custom loop I'd get the Phantek Entho Pro

^^ Enthoo pro is the best case for water cooling you can get.

 

I agree 100%

Look up jays two sense skunkworks v3.0

Super expensive!!!

[Chiobe]

No need to mount it outside the case, you can easily fit it inside, as long as find a nice way to route the power cable.

For no budget, go with the STH10 with Pedestal and 120mm top cover to mount 6 560mm rads

My whole watercooling loop costs about as much as this case

Did the monsta in the bottom restrict the upper hard-drive cage?

I can't say with absolute certainty as I didn't use the HDD cages myself. I had two SSDs mounted on the back, and the large storage I use a 10TB NAS.

 

Take a look at this video, they use the Monsta rad as I did - maybe that can give you an idea:

 

Personally I also really liked this video, Bill Owen basically goes through all there is to say about the case:

Oh thats helpfull, thanks a lot!

I will then put the 60mm alphacool one both in the top and bottom.

[FluffyNuggets]

Any Caselabs case.

You're welcome. Both the 80mm monsta and 60mm UT will work, they are both 12.4mm wide. HW-Labs black ice and SR1 + SR2 radiators are too wide due to the round shaped edges - I personally love those radiators, but god damn those edges..!

Any Caselabs case. 

 

Bursts the budget ...
