Case Suggestions Please

[Jannicks]

Hi, im looking to buy a new case since the current airflow in my case isnt enough.

My ram gets to hot since there is no airflow there+hot gpu under it and that causes instability issues.

 

The case will be standing on my desk at my right hand side, the case can be maximum 30cm wide.

Thanks in advance.

 

My specs:

i7-8700k (watercooled)

1080TI (want to watercool it in the future)

ROG Z370-e gaming MB

Corsair HX850 v2

for storage i have a 1 TB 2.5" drive

I have a 360mm radiator

 

what im looking for in a case:

Need:

support for my current parts and 1 or 2 extra harddrives(2.5" or 3.5")

360mm radiator support on the side

Good airflow

A window

 

Want (in this order):

Watercooling support (brackets)

Dual chamber

White color

Tempered glass

The radiator(s) in the other chamber

Vertical GPU

 

 

What i was looking at:

Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic (White) - This might be too small

Thermaltake The tower 900 - I like it but it is too big

Thermaltake Core X71 (Tempered Glass Edition) - I like this but im still not sure if there are others like this

Would this be good?

I like the design but i want the radiator to be mounted on the side or in another chamber so i can use the front and top for airflow

Lian Li is not too small, on the contrary it's probably too wide for you

 

Meshify C will not fit a long GPU for the current configuration, it would fit a watercooled GPU but that doesnt helpp your current situation. 

 

My suggest is the Enthoo Pro M SE with a white interior/gray exterior. It can do dual 360mm slim rads.

The Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic is the smaller version of the 011

I still want to have the radiators on the side so i can use the front and top for airflow.

It is a nice case if i cant find the side radiators.

Wow I'm actually surprised it's that narrow. Usually they're much wider. Normal Mid towers are within the 210-250mm range, with dual chamber designs like the Corsair Air 540 being over 300mm

 

 

I knew which one you meant, No one ever recommends the original PC-O11, that case is garbage in value compared to the D  

 

@Densetsu recently re-did his PC with that case. And there's plenty of watercooling examples of that build. It's a very solid case

Jut get a meshify c, looks dofe af, cheap and helps me get 85c at 5.3 under liquid metal and full load.

Yeah, it's both small and spacious. Just don't use PSU cable extensions, lol. You run out of room in the 2nd chamber real quick if you plan to use the HDD caddy.
