Best case for 4870 Xfire

[mcingo]

Please can you list the cases that would fit two 4870 graphic cards easily? Its better if they have good cooling features, budget £65 max £75 if its really good. This is to have an idea on which cases to look for. Thanks

Nzxt tempest would fit two 4870 easily.

 

[daniel_bourton]

have you already got the 2 4870's?
cus if so i would say get a 5850 instead and also what sort of case do you want if you want quite i would say something like the fractal cases which are coming soon and should be about your budget otherwise i would say something like a lancool k58 or k62 depended on how you like your cases

i already got 1 4870, maybe ill get one later for crossfire, those cases look good but wanted to ask if an antec 300 would be good, even if they fit exactly, because my friend is replacing one of those and I can have it.

 

[daniel_bourton]

i wouldnt say ti a rbilliant idea but it could workjust heat my be a bit of a issue in that case with those cards thats all
is you cpu overclockled?

 

[mcingo]

no cpu is not overclocked for now, there would still be problems with heat with all 5 fans installed?

 

[daniel_bourton]

if you got decent ones in there maybe not just the cards are gona be near the hdd and could restrict airflow a bit and when you include a cpu overclock ambient case temp could be quite high

 

[mcingo]

thanks for the advice, I'm only gonna be using 1 HDD, there isn't a drive bay that isn't that close to them? Also I assume its fine for now with only 1 4870?

Nzxt tempest would fit two 4870 easily.

i was going to say this too. the nzxt cases are really nice

 

[kerrgreg]

i would agree on the tempest too but theres a lot of cases that would be good

i wouldnt get the antec 300 my freind has one and although he hasnt got heat issues hes got 5 fans all running about 1000rpm but it still gets pretty warm
