Case Recommendation

[NeonX]

Am currently using a evolv atx tg but the cooling is abysmal. Clocking close to 85 on 1080 sli for both cards.

Currently shortlisted nzxt h700i but am open to other cases.

Requirements
- support 280mm aio up top
- have enough clearance for gskill trident rgb ram after installing aio up top
- tempered glass ideally
- good airflow for sli

Corsair Crystal or Carbide series

I think I research a little on those but read about issues with ram height clearance

Phanteks have those issues and poor airflow

Corsair 570x is great

The CoolerMaster Masterbox series is also ok

Fractal Design Meshify C + 2x 140mm In-take Fans

Best all rounder in the market. One of the best Air-flow with 2x 140mm Intake. Has support for 280 Rad on top. Only includes 1x 120mm at the back and 1x 120mm at the front. Need to replace the front intake with 2x 140mm for good air-flow. Case is compact thus the distance from Fan to GPU will be much shorter.

Corsair Crystal 570X
Warning: 280mm RAD Does not fit on top of the case. Rad will collide with the ram just like our MRTs.

Already include 3x 120mm RGP fans. All Tempered Glass. Great Airflow. Out of Box Thermals are great. Need 1x Rare Exhaust fan and its set. Edit: No Go.

I am using phanteks pro m TG. Excellent airflow and fit all your requirement.

570x don’t really support 280mm on top

Ram clearance only 40mm. Pretty sure the trident taller than that

Meshify c ..if you use aio front mount with a long gpu. You got to watch out

I’m using 2 strix 1080

True. It will not clear with a 280 Rad.

How about Cooler Master Mastercase H500P?

Seems to have good clearance. But Airflow wise, need to mod front panel with Mesh...

There are also mods for Evolv ATX for better Airflow btw.

Don’t have the skills and tools to mod haha. I think might have to wait till the h700I hit like shores, or just replace my current 280mm with a 240mm aio like x52

i'm not very sure if h700i will help with thermal concerns. h700i seems pretty costly too. consider removing sli and running a solo gfx instead to aid with thermals, or perhaps have air condition to help out with some thermals.

 

[NeonX]

Idk too. Initial reviews seem promising though. Hopefully it will work

Else maybe sell off both 1080 and get a 1080ti

Silverstone Redline series - rl06 checkout the case comparision temp test in youtube. No horse run. Tiong cases are cheap but uses 120mm fans only

May I check if Corsair H100i v2 (240mm) is confirm cannot top mount with G.Skill - Trident Z RGB in Corsair 570X?

 

[NeonX]

Not sure about 240mm. But 280mm confirm cannot

H110i (280mm) compatible with corsair LPX rams in 570X?

No idea, might wanna Google or reddit. In theory should be able too since lpx usually one of the lowest profile
