I'd go with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119260&Tpk=storm%20stryker with a pair of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181024 to get the best performance out of the h-100 rad ... its only $9.00 over budget , is plenty big enough , has the aesthetics your going for and will look awsome paired with the blue parts salvaged from your current system ... best of luck !!

yes,will look cool 😉

Ok I get that, but how do I put an Image on an URL?? I have them on my desktop?!

 

[hellfire24]

upload them on any image hosting site,i prefer tinypic

Notice the cable mess around and behind the GPU's, luckily this case has cable management at the back, but I can hardly fit the sidepanel when I'm done with cablemanagement.

you are doing pretty good.

I will make new pictures to show more fails, but these ones were already on my phone. Need to open up my case tonight.

 

[kemperkipie]

I'm glad the space at the CPU is free of cabling.. Only the water tubes are hanging over there. But the space between the 2 GPU's don't have any cooling. because the cabling + the HDD bay block almost all airflow there. And I don't have side-panel fans to cool them.. So that's why i'm looking for a new case now.. Don't bother the Push+Pull anymore, since you send me the link to cooling comparisons 😛

Anyway, the 90 degrees mobo cases are very interresting for me, since I have a Asus Xonar D2X above the 2 GPU's (Not yet visible on the images, I will upload them later). It gets very hot, because of the GPU's beneath it. If my MoBo is 90 degrees turned, I don't have to bother that anymore, and with the silverstone cases, the Air Penetrator fans will blast air between the cards (I really like the air penetrators). But I want to make sure the case is fully supported with my Mobo, the 2 huge GPU's + the soundcard. And of course the Corsair H100 (I prefer it attached somewhere with only pull, than laying it down randomly, with push+pull)

 

[hellfire24]

yeah raven is a great case IMHO and will cool your components very well.

 

[kemperkipie]

Raven RV03

It seems to fit in the HDD bay, I have 1 SSD, and 1 HDD for storage. Does someone know if I can fit my SSD and HDD somewhere else in the case I really like this idea!

 

[hellfire24]

how about trying this simple method-

 

[kemperkipie]

Is that the exact same case? Because I've seen some where the H100 would blast into the GPU's, which isn't my plan. But this one doesn't seem to have it though.

Do you personnally own this case? Or did you found this case?

I would like to know if drive bay is the only way to build drives in the case? Because the backplate seems to support some as wel. But I'm not sure

I don't have a CD/DVD drive, because I just don't need one. So I will only have 1 2,5" and 1 3,5" drive. It would be nice if I had 2 option to install my H100

 

[kemperkipie]

I've done some research.

The case you mentioned turned out to be the Raven RV02 instead of the Raven RV03 I was mentioning.

However, the Raven RV03 doesn't seem to be an option for me. The case support only up to 180mm PSU's, but my XFX 1050W Black Edition seems to be 190mm. That's just too much, and will never fit while cables are sticking out.

The other Raven's don't have USB 3.0. What I do want in my case, because I use 3.0 USB Sticks, and don't want to crawl behind my pc everytime :/

Are there any other 90 degree motherboard cases on the market? The Silverstone Fortress cases all seem to be too small for my huge cards and the H100

With <»= 150€ you can go for the Corsair Graphite 600T midi tower looks like a full tower, same as my case CM 690 II nVidia edition.

Or the Cooler Master HAF-X Full Gaming Spec Tower Case , it's a pretty nice case and you'll fit whatever you like

There are too many cases out there for less than 150€ you can fit all your components and get everything cool.

What degree your graphic cards are when they are in full load?

 

[AenonElec]

All the cases mentioned above have USB 3.0

 

[kemperkipie]

But they don't have the turned motherboards.. Is that Silverstone only?

 

[hellfire24]

turned motherboard is not a "must have" feature.

 

[kemperkipie]

But it is a very nice feature, which I would like to have. the reason my top GPU is more than 10 C hotter than my bottom GPU won't occur when my motherboard is turned. Also my Soundcard won't catch all the heat, that card doesn't even have active cooling, so he's just baking now :/

 

[kemperkipie]

Ok I've done some more research, and it seems the "Raven RV-2" has more versions. 1 of those versions actually support USB 3.0. So this case might actually be interesting for me.

But I would like to know all possible set-ups for my "Corsair H100" in that case. Hellfire24 already mentioned I can just lay it on the bottom of the case

Like this one.
But won't this blow my hot CPU air at my motherboard and other components?
Is this the only way to set it up? And will it be worth the money, and increase my cooling enough to stop worry about it?

 

[hellfire24]

this is the build of a toms member "recon-uk" and he never made any complaints about his setup.
note: he runs 2x 480s(heat monsters) without issues.

 

[kemperkipie]

Ok!
I think this is going to be my next case. I'm just going to send him a personal message if he would recommend it with my specific hardware. And then buy it. I will keep you guys up to date, and post pictures if / when i'm done.

Thanks very much for the help and support!

-Edit: How do I find him 😛? Does anyone have a link to a thread where he's in? thnx!

 

[hellfire24]

^i will do that for ya 😉

 

[nna2]

^recon-uk? i heard he may no longer be active... im not 100% on that though

 

[hellfire24]

^oh! that's sad :/
