Case for Hardline Watercooling

[GeorgeDouj88]

Basically, I really need help choosing a case for water cooling. I've gone through sooo many choices (NONE THAT HAVE VISIBLE NON REMOVABLE DRIVE CAGES) and the biggest problem is finding one with fron 360 rad support with push pull or only push if I have to and fitting an EKWB standalone 250 reservoir between the (looking from the front) right side of the GPU and the end the PC case. Just PLEASEE HELP. I think most of the reason that I can't find one to fit is because I've never hardline water cooled or even built a PC (don't tell me not to hardline cool for first PC because I'm very confident with building a PC for the first time and have done a LOT of research about hardline so I'm ready) so I don't how much space things usually take up. All help is appreciated

I can buy it right now here in Sweden? Also I personally wouldn't go with EK for my blocks, poor performance(not as in bad, just not the best) and quality control

For hardline water I'd go with a Corsair Obsidian 900D

I was looking at it but the airflow wasn't too good, its big, and generally I dont really like it. THanks though!

well I want one with good airflow so the rad fans can work well, preferably a 240 rad bottom support, and good space to fit 360 rad and fans and reservoir between gpu and front of case.

You could go for the Corsair Obsidian 750D airflow edition, it supports a 240mm in the bottom (once you remove the HDD cage mountings) and it supports a 360mm in the top.

Basically lol, only one retailer that has it last time I checked though. But they are the same ones that have literally got motherboards and graphics cards with their branding lol

What CPU and GPU(s) and motherboard form factor do you have? That would help us recommend a case that can hold enough radiators and everything else. I would recommend the Define R6 with dual 360 radiators for dual GPU and higher TDP cpu. The new caselabs SMA8-A (if you can afford it) is also a good choice, supporting a top 60mm 480, a front 360, and a bottom slim-medium 560. What sort of radiators do you want/need? - that picks your case. Don't go with the NZXT H700i. The cable management cover thing (to the right of the mobo) will block all reservoirs. A 250 res may be too large for a mid tower. Also look at the lian li PC-V3000 (corsair 900D with tempered glass, RGB and aluminum, pretty much), it supports a top 420, a front 360, and a bottom 480 radiator. I was faced with the same problem a few weeks/months ago to pick what case I wanted, and I settled on the SMA8-A.

I know, I never knew I would ever get excited about a PC case, also, where did you get yours because Newegg only allows black preordering but I want blackout

[andrewmp6]

Only bad thing i can say about the r6 is having to pay 30 dollars more for a usb type c front io.Where other cases in its price range have it stock with no extra charge for it.

[HOOTSMON]

I got it, its built. i'm in the UK. Get it. You're welcome 

 

LOL

In Win 909 there you can fit a 360 or even 480 and as thick as you wish... and you can add 2 more 240 or 280 rads

 

I own it... best freaking case, but a bit costy
