Corsair 800D Query...

Vidar · 8 Nov 2011 at 20:08

Just wondering what is this case actually like for air cooling; I keep reading a myriad of different opinions, I really like the look of it but will only be air cooling by air when I come to build my new system in the new year...

Not good for air, 700/800D series are built for custom water.

If you're after a similar yet built for air cooled case check out the 650D or 600T.

650d is the better option

If you want air cooling, Coolermaster HAF series is the way forwards, I have the HAF932 and my brother has the HAF X, both excellent cases:

Really don't like the looks of cases like the HAF series, The last case I had was antec's 902 which just became irritating to look at in the end...

Why would you take the 650d over the 600T?

They're pretty much the same, the 650d is a bit more understated.

If you've got the 800d money then you may want to consider this:

The Silverstone is a gorgeous case... one which I am already interested in but am abit put off by reviews regarding the size, internally...

I used the 800d with air cooler with my system below in sig (originally had crossfire 5850) and never had any issues with temps.

i also had a 800d on air and never had a problem.

ive got a haf-x now and wished i kept the 800d because there is only a slight difference in temps.

Did you guys replace stock fans and add fans to all the aditional slots?

If so what fans did you use?

What do you mean by good for air cooling ?
I do have 700D so thats identical to 800D.

Never had problems with air cooling it.

What about the CM ATCS840 its a awsome case and great at air cooling

Snap, one of the best cases I have ever had

I found my temps mobo temps went down moving from a lancool K62 to an 800D however I did replace the stock fans as they move next to no air
