Can somone spec me a watercooling case, i quite like the 800d at £214.99 im thinging of buying it the now at that price for my bulid next month but is there anything better out there that will take 2 360 rads or 1 420 with lttle modding needing to be done for under £250?.

The Silverstone TJ07 will comfortably take qaud rad in the bottom compartment, and also triple uptop.

This case lookes really good, would be a very good project painting it and all of that

another question i have is would i need better than a 420 rad to cool cpu 1 gpu and maby the mosfet and chipset ?

a 420 would be more than capable

Even a single 360 (RX,Thermochill, basicly the thick rads) would be enough to cool all that, aslong as u specced the rest of the blocks and pump properly.

By that i mean combining non restrictive parts into the loop, with a top quality pump.

I would be going with the top noch stuff (about £400) for all of the watercooling and fans, would i be able to get 4.5+ GHz on the cpu (i7 Do) with this setup?.

Depends on the cpu as to the overclock of course, but as said before a single 360 rad and above can handle all that in terms of cooling.

on anything lower than a 960 it is very unlikely

The 800D with some modding can take a 480 on top and a 360 on the bottem (I only have a 240 in the bottem on mine though - check out my log for details)

Thanks for the help ill go for the 800d because i dont have to bother painting it and such, it looks better aswell.

unless you need the hotswap bays youd be better of with the 700d and put your money towards a better pump plus you can take out the bottom hdd rack and put another rad in the base

Yep ive just ordered the 700D which is for for a bit of bodywork en-route

Both are gerat cases - I was going to go for the 800, but dont like the way teh side window shows teh slit and into the PSU bay and the hotswap wont be used so the 700 looks sleeker without the hot swap door on the front

stiv121 · 13 May 2010 at 22:34

I want the case window and the money wont rally be a problem.

johnny sublime · 14 May 2010 at 03:00

well then get the 700d and get a custom window cut

stiv121 · 14 May 2010 at 08:11

too much bother for a £15 difference.

Tbh I'd get a Lian Li V (or X) series, just because I prefer the looks

Don't get me wrong, the TJ07 is the PERFECT watercooling case, but it's been done so many times on project logs it's just boring now
