Coolermaster HAF X

RedGooner · 24 Jul 2010 at 17:34

I have just finished moving my rig into a HAF X.
I could not be happier, the space is amazing, as well as the airflow.

Now put 2 x Gainward GFX 480s in SLI, and the temps of the cards are well lower than i expected. The only time they went high and loud was when running 3dsMark Vantage.

I will post some pictures in a few days to show it off.

Why in a few days? We want them now!

HAF X and SLI 480s very nice. Do you get over 9000 fps on the Sims yet?

Get some pictures up though, sounds like a great build.

I'd be interested in seeing Furmark load temps of both cards (if you could)

I demand pics!

Cant wait to see some pics of it.

Wish i had waited for the haf x. Went for the 932 but the x looks like its just better allround

Hmm, to me the only point of buying a HAF X would be if I could afford one of those humungous mobos with 9 PCI-E slots that won't physically fit in any other case. And if I'm buying one of them, it would only be because that's the only way to run quad-crossfire/tri-SLI'd GPUs. And if I did that ...I'd have just won the lottery

I SO want one. Just without all the 5.25" gubbins you've got in there.

re:

Really love my case I only have one GTX480 but get temps of around 40c on idle and only between 80c and 85c while playing around an hour of BFBC2

So pleased with it

Cheers

Gareth I envy u. I want one aswell. I already have Haf 922 and love it but my next build will hopefully be a full tower. The Haf X is a bad ass looking gaming case.

gareth170 · 25 Jul 2010 at 18:21

it's a very good case tbh, great air flow. quiet, very big inside. well worth the money..

RedGooner · 25 Jul 2010 at 18:56

I will post pic's once my NZXT GFX cables arrive, thats the only thing that spoils it. But i have to say its my best build to date...

cork-spotters · 25 Jul 2010 at 21:27

Very nice case. I transferred all of my stuff into one on Friday. Took a good few hours, trying to get the cable management nice and neat.
Excellent case though, very few criticisms.

My i7 load temperatures dropped from 80 to 68 when compared to my old Alienware oven.

Hmm never been sure on the HAF, I'd have to see one in real life. Don't know if I like it or hate it lol.

gareth170 · 10 Aug 2010 at 21:14

now i've moved/remove some cables.

before

after

looks better than before. just need to do afew more bits to it at some point.

RedGooner · 12 Aug 2010 at 12:49

Not bad, but i think mine looks a cleaner build...

Not very full of yourself now are you.
