aura sync Best case for watercooling?

[Noah0302]

Hi, I have good experience in building air cooled PCs but I never built a liquid cooled one.

So I need some help picking a case that does everything I want from it. I currently use the Coolermaster Masterbox 5, so something similair to that one would be great.

1- It has to fit a 3 120mm AIO block on top.

2- At least 3 in the front for air flow and one in the back.

3- Aura sync compatible.

4- Tempered glass side and front, so I can see the RGB fans.

5- Preferrably silent and not as loud as my current Masterbox 5.

And if you could suggest some good Aura sync AIO coolers (don't need RGB fans since I can replace them), that is able to cool my i7 8700k @5GHz it would be awesome!

Price sould not be an issue!

Also I found out about the ASUS Strix case and wondered if it would be worth waiting for the release, since I also thought about getting the ASUS ROG Ryujin 360 since Im a huge asus fan.

Best watercooling case, on the market, with triple fan support and TG on front/side, would probably be this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hwkj4D/lian-li-pc-o11dx-atx-full-tower-case-pc-o11dx

 

Comes in black or white if need be.

Also this:

(Acrylic front panel) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q4YLrH/thermaltake-view-22-tempered-glass-edition-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-1j3-00m1wn-00

 

those are the ones I could find anyway... there are likely more. Also, the list becomes MUCH longer if you're willing to not NEED a 360 on top, or if you're willing to give up a TG front panel requirement.

Thanks for the reply! Those cases are already looking good.

I dont need a TG front panel, but the 360 is a must for me.

there are a metric boatload of cases with 360mm front mounts, but many only have 240/280 top mounts. So you can still very easily get a 360mm into a case, but it just won't be on the top. Something like the Corsair 500D or 460x/570x are things to look at.

Also, if you don't need a see through front panel, something like the Define R6 or S2 from Fractal Design are excellent 360mm top mounted cases.
