Guys,

Can I have some advice please..........

I have just got the W2 case and wanted to stick my Rampage IV Extreme into it and possibly get a 980ti but my concerns are with cooling.

Now if i stick to air cooling is this case going to boil? or is it possible to fit 2 AIO coolers one for cpu and one for gpu one fitted to front and one fitted to bottom?

If so any suggestions or build you guys have or experience with along with this case, I assume these newer cards exhaust the heat out the back rather than into the case on air??

I eagerly await your replies :)

Thats a picture of my PC! haha, looks slightly different now.

Its a tight squeeze getting 2 rads in with fans, in that pic the bottom rad wasn't even secured to the case :/ it is now though.

As a compromise I now run the bottom radiator as an exhaust otherwise the case just fills up with hot air as a single 120mm cannot remove all the heat. Then to avoid the hot air from the bottom rad being sucked back in by the front fans I have made up a plastic strip that I have screws to the bottom of the case to help divert airflow.
 
Any reason why you think the component would overheat being air cooled? I used to have this case running a OC'd 4790k and a Titan X on air. The temps were perfectly fine.
 
Titan x had the reference blower cooler didn't it? That would be perfect for this case, exhausting heat straight out the case.

The issue with this case is if your dumping all the heat into the case you can extract it quick enough with just a single 120 mm fan
