1070 club, turnup

[Artama Meyer]

Everything is up and running!

no problems, no crashes, the only thing is that the gpu is so big that the power cables press against the window

 

I have not got any benchmarks out yet.. Which ones would you like me to do ??

I have played AC rougue for a while now and got these results:

solid 60+ fps at 5760x1080 (surround) while at 43C 10/20 % fan speed

and for the cpu with a overclock 47C peak

Does this make it hard to close? Or cause any issues at all? I was planning on recommending this case to someone...

yes it closes. no issue. its bends the window a little bit...

im waiting for the evga powerlink i hope that will be a bit shorter than my cables so its flush with the window

Why this kind a build always mounted CPU AIO Cooler on the front? I never understand
It should have fitted on the top and add 2x120mm fans in the front

[NaLu]

It won't fit with fans. Only in front you can do this.

True. There is not enough clearance at the top

I too have the Air 240 case and would love to see a compatibility list of Graphics cards that fit properly, without bending the side panel window.

I'd love to buy an MSI TwinFrozr GTX 960/970, but neither will fit properly with the side panel installed.

Hey, did you end up buying the evga powerlink? Or was it too bulky, facing the same problem!
