a question about my Corsair case

[ominous11]

Hey guy's not sure if this is the correct forum so if not just let me know and I'll delete and repost.

However I own the Corsair 230T Windowed-BLUE ATX Mid Tower Case and I will be buying the EVGA 980 ti hybrid. I was wondering if anyone know if this would fit without any troubles.

Down the road ( a month or two ) I will be buying a second one for SLI. Would I be able to fit both of them in there as well without any trouble ???

If not what is a good case that I should invest in ??

well looking at the details on both the case and the gpu the case supports graphics cards upto 360mm in length and the graphics card itself your looking to buy is 266.7mm so you will be find

Thanks for the response, I should have specified what I wanted to fit. I was thinking more if the two water coolers would fit ??

its a single 120mm rad+fan you could but that in replacement of a front fan or the back fan depending on how u want it

If I were too replace the two front intake fans. Could I install two intake fans on the top of the case for the same air flow ??? ( sorry for all the questions, I'm still new at hardware I'm just a big gamer at heart

i dunno about putting two fans on top of the case but i know you could probably put the graphics card rad up there with the fan on it

I know the case supports two addition 120mm or 140mm fans at the top of the case that's why I asked. I wonder if the bottom card would be able to reach too the top of the case though.

i personally think about 80% chance that it would be able to reach the top of the case

OK thank you ! I was looking at some you tube videos and I agree ! A random question and you might know. Are aftermarket case fans better then stock ?? I'm talking about the two front 120mm fans

 

[Im_Infinity]

default fans are good enough but some aftermarket ones are better like noctua fans there really good but can be pricey

 

[ominous11]

Do they actually lower the temp at all ?

Im_Infinity is correct, those stock 230T stock fans are decent enough to get you started. But if you really want some fans to increase airflow in your case or make your system whisper quiet, then you may want to look at the AF120 fans to go along with your 230T case. It has 2 versions, Performance Edition and Quiet Edition.

Thanks for the response !

I'll defiantly be looking into these !! I like the performance one for sure ! The colour strip doesn't act as a led or anything does it ??

No problem at all

Unfortunately, those rings do not light up, they're just interchangeable so you can pick the color that will match your build. Pretty cool actually, I painted mine gold to match my color scheme
