4090 case recommendation

iron_monkey · 24 Jul 2023 at 21:11

I'm soon to be building a new system with a 4090, 7800x3d. Im looking for a case that's big enough for the 4090 and has great cooling and also pretty quiet as it'll be sat behind the living room tv. It'll be sat out of sight so looks don't matter but id like it to be easy to build in.
Cheers

Thread here that pretty much is same spec as what you'll be going for showing off temps in a Antec Performance 1:

My PC is stupid cold.

Hey guys. I wanted to talk about the PC case and the cooler I have, I'm am very impressed with the results of the CPU and GPU temperatures. I have an Antec Performance 1 FT case. Inside I'm running a AMD 7800X3D with a RTX4090, and 32GB 6000mhz CL36 RAM. The CPU cooler is an Antec Vortex...

Ive just built a system in a Phanteks G500A.

Never used a Phanteks case before as id always used Corsair cases.

Have to say i really like it. Nice to build in and loads of space for the 4090

Thanks guys, for some reason i didn't get notified of your replies. That antec case and cooler seem very good for the price.

Go for it, that other thread is my PC. I'm very happy with the quietness of it.

Good cooling, airflow and also quiet. Sounds perfect, shame its not on ocuk. Thats a pricey mobo you've got any reason you chose that over some of the cheaper options? Also what psu did you go with.

The board offers great VRM power and being a 670E gives me the extra PCi-E lanes for 5.0 for future proofing.

As it's tucked away you could consider a Phanteks P600S tower. My RTX 4080 was in a P500A (pre G series) vertically mounted and rarely went over 60C.

The P600 has a similar chassis but with removeable panels front and top to balance the noise/Cooling. I've built several P400 & P500 systems recently and all the cases came from the B Grade section. Cases were fine just damaged boxes or 1 had the screw draw missing but I have 100s of spare screws etc..

Cheers guys, i went with the antec performance 1 in the end, the 4090 fit in with no problems, it was really easy to build in as the roof comes off, coolings good as well. i'll post a pic in a bit as its not hidden behind the tv yet as im still testing my under/overclocks

iron_monkey · 17 Aug 2023 at 16:36

Ignore the unicorn lightning i haven't bothered setting it up yet.

Looks good. Glad to see Antec coming back again with some decent cases as they were quite good for DIY server cases for years.
