NEW CASE

Go to solution Solved by Dre529,

I decided to got with the 750D thanks for the help guys!

Hey guys,

   I am in the market for a new case. I have been looking at the Corsair 650D, Phantom 530 and Phantom 630.

I love the 650D and its build quality but just worried it wont cool the internals as well as the phantoms would. I have a mini ATX board too so I feel like the 630 is a waste of space but still cheaper than the 650D. 

The 650D seems pretty open to work in as well. Any help or advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I am open to other cases as well. 

 

Specs

i7 3820 at 4.4 ghz

Rampage IV Gene mATX 

GTX 780 ACX EVGA

AX 750 

Samsung 840 Pro 256 gb

500gb western digital hard drive

Corsair H100i

 

Thanks.

Cases are personal. It's what you want to spend the next three years looking at.

I'm guessing about 170$

Then the 750D and R4 for quiet case, you may want to change the fans because it does not pull any air at all

Ive looked up reviews and the 750D and 350D run hotter than the 650D so there is no point in getting those. Its really between the 650D or the Phantom 630. 

The 650 is much cleaner but the 630 is bigger and runs cooler.....

The difference in temps between the cases is negligible because you running water cooler it won't make any difference. Get the 350D it suits your build and is a fairly large mATX case anyway. I have two 680 classified which are monster cards that require alot of airflow and they work perfectly fine.

Corsair 350D - ASUS Maximus V Gene - Intel 3770K @ 4.6Ghz - Corsair H100i - G-skill Trident X 2666Mhz 4x4Gb - 2 x EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4Gb @ 1250Mhz - Corsair 860i - 2 x Samsung 840 Pro 240GB (Raid 0)
