480mm rad case

[Pineapple Wolf]

Can someone give me some good cases that can have a 480mm rad? And if it exists, a micro atx xase with 480mm rad support would be great

Thanks, Pineapple Wolf

480m total? or a single 480mm? There is no mATX case that supports a 480mm rad but the Fractal Arc Mini R2 can actually support a 360mm and a 240mm rad.

900D.

micro atx with a 480 rad support what?

Get a 900D and put a micro atx board, radiators ERWHERE

[Oshino Shinobu]

Any budget here? And I can't think of any micro atx cases that support 480mm rads without a considerable amount of modding.

Just fill all the empty space with rads and pumps!

I don't believe a microATX case that only supports mATX motherboards exists that's large enough to fit a 480mm rad. You can always get a large case and just put an mATX motherboard in it, but I don't think your going to find any mATX cases that support that natively. However, you could get a HAF 915F (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119292) and do heavy modifications to allow support for a 480mm rad and a mATX motherboard, but it would be large enough to allow it.

 

EDIT: I re-looked at the specifications for the 915F and the width is only 9.7 inches. Since the mATX form factor is 9.6 x 9.6, I seriously doubt you could modify the case to support it without structural modifications to the chassis itself (unless you wanna try to ghetto mount it at a 45 degree angle or something which still may not even work with a radiator and graphics card).

YES!

Micro atx, I'm not aware of. You could get an Enthoo Primo.

Haha, 900D is a bit out of budget but that would be pretty funny.

[Thecrazyswede]

Have OP answered if he wanted a single 480 rad or TOTAL 480 rad area ?

 

if total then just about any micro atx case that has 4x120 slots.

 

i suggest fractal design arc midi R2 OR arc mini R2

1 single 480 rad, kind realised that mATX and 480 rad doesn't exist. Any other cases except the 900D and Enthoo Primo?

ill paypal 10euros to anyone who does that.

Smallest MB ever, biggest GPU with waterblock ever and rads ERWHERE, on the motherboard place, top, bottom, front, middle, EEEEEERWHERE

I have a friend who built a mitx build in a nzxt switch 810...

 

with a 690 and 3770k...... and over 600mm rad surface.

NZXT Switch 810 and NZXT H630 if you want to start cutting it up.

what im looking for is at least 12 x 120mm, now if only someone made a 1440mm rad

I think its been done. but it was retardedly expensive and massive.

 

just get 4x180mm rad and mount to side of chassi door ?

Any other cases if I don't want to mod?

welcome to LinusTechTips forums.

 

you are wanting to go h2o cooling but no modding of case.. no such of thing.

 

and a 480 radiator for a motherboard that can just barely handle SLI/CFX has no

need for a 480 radiator. 2x 240x 60 fits 60% of mATX cases chassis. no need in

creating new hotdog looking cases to support unused options.

 

you really should go to the water cooling section and read the top two pinned

subjects. then come back with your questions.

The only native case that can fit a 480mm radiator I can think of is the TJ07 and I think a MORA can be externally fitted to a MITX case.

[FluffyNuggets]

Going with a tiny board and a 480mm radiator just doesn't make sense.

I would be using the mATX mobo for a short time till I get can get a better atx/xl-atx, I would be getting the case that can fit a 480 rad to "future proof" it.I might get the phantom 820 due to the large amount of fan spaces. And when I said modding I ment not chopping the case up .
