Hi guys,

I'm searching to build a rig to run the futur PG27UQ (4K HDR 144Hz) from asus at optimal performance with still some marging left.

My main problem is that I have to put the tower in an enclosed space, with just enought room for a mid tower (the carbide clear 400C seems to fit in there if i make a hole to pass the cables) basically with that tower i'll only have acces to the system from the glass panel once everything is putting together.

This means i pretty much ruin the way a normal system is supposed to be cooled so I was thinking of putting 2 hybrid 1080Ti for the intake, and a h110i + one 120mm on the rear for the exaust, but will it be enought to keep the M.2s and everything else cool enought or will i need to add some exterior vents to exaust the air from the cupboard (i have some space left above the tower)?

I would like to use RGB lighting in a mode where i can tell at a glance which component is overheating, is this possible?

Which motherboard should i buy for this?

Thanks for your answers :)

So the side panels and the top will be blocked, leaving the front and rear?

Putting an computer case in an enclosed space = really bad. Heat (hot air) needs to be removed. You can't do that, you are isolating it.

 

What might be an option, is get several radiators outside of your case/cupboard, and hide it somewhere there with external fans. Temps of the primary stuff might be cool enough. (CPU/GPU) Dunno about motherboard/m.2 and other parts...

It's the front and rear panel that will be mostly blocked I have around 5cm left for both (i may have to cut a hole to pass the cable) side back will have 4/5cm left and the side front glass panel will be clear.

I have about 20cm left above the case for possible exhaust options.

I'm upping this with a picture hoping it will resolve the problem of my bad english for explanation.

It's scaled, so i've got about enought space for max 4x120 fan to exhaust the hot air from the cupboard.

To limit the production of said hot air, i've planned to hydro/hybrid cooling the CPU and both graphics cards. CPU's radiator set to top exhaust, GPU's set to front intake.

But will that be enought?

Once again Thanks for your answers. :)
