Hi.

I'm considering the Corsairv300R windowed Casing.

MSI Z87 board, for Overclocking & with future plans for SLI.

Would like to check if this case is suitable for usage with bigger AIO cooler
like the Kraken X40 w/240mm radiator or the Corsair H100i. Not sure if overkill.

Or anybody can advice anything that has bling bling on the pump?

And May I know what we're paying for the more expensive Obsidian 350D? Smaller size but more exp. Might consider if its better.

300R is more budget or value for $.
yes it can fit AIO cooler.

350D is for SFF build but better quality.

Obsidian 350d is an matx chassis. Cannot fit in your atx mobo.

300r or fractal design r4 would be a good one.

Kraken x40 is 140mm... x60 is 280mm... get arc midi r2, designed to do water cooling as well.

What's SFF? Will

Btw the Fractal mini R2 isn't mini at all. 24.5 x 22 x 12.9 inches ; 26.2 pounds

Vs the Corsair 300R 19.1 x 17.7 x 8.3 inches ; 17 pounds

Didn't know so big Sia.. But Corsair quality like better right? the paint job n feel..

Bigger case mean better airflow?

Not necessary, it depends on the position of your fans, and how high is the cfm and are there any blockages..

Coz looking for bling bling pump to match the Bling Bling rams? Hehe

but I must say the price for TT 3.0 is quite attractive for the performance. H2220 never research on it

i see. you can use LED fans on your cooler to make your pump stand out or use LED strips around ur case.
