Case for an Aorus 1080ti

kration · 14 Jun 2017 at 20:56

I've just bought an Aorus 1080ti and it won't fit in my case! I have an ancient Antec 300 and the card butts up against the drive bays :mad:

Can anyone recommend a new case?:

about £100 (ideally less, but there's a bit of flexibility)
fan vent on back and on top (edit - though I've just been browsing cases and as long as there's decent cooling options then the back/top fan isn't crucial)
I am not bothered about how it looks - in fact the less bling the better
Must be robust/future proof (my current case has done well for over 7 years)

Cheers.

Boom, done;

Understated, quiet with v good airflow

Go for the Define S if you don't need the optical drive bays;

Not sure the graphics card will fit in there though...

Define S definitely, I've had one

You can also fit a side fan if you want additional gfx card cooling :cool:

Currently have mine in an Aerocool DS230, but that's probably a bit too blingy for ya dude!

In Win 303, best case money can buy at your price range in my opinion

You remove one or both of the HDD cages and you have more than enough space for the card.

Well built, practically silent and the antithesis of a blinged up rgb nightmare.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go for a:

Cheap and cheerful, though I'll be able to turn the cheerful lights off. I was persuaded by my current Antec which has been a fine case. And the advice from OCUK that I can fit my card in it!

I'm sure you can fit 3 Aorus 1080ti's easy in the massive case.

Yes, looks big enough for quadruple sli
