Corsair 350D

Robert · 7 Oct 2013 at 21:25

I'm looking at replacing my Corsair 800D with a 350D. Would I have any issues with the following:

AX1200 PSU
Corsair H100i
680 GTX

Also, is SLI doable in this box?

The components will fit but it will be a challenge for cooling in sli unless you watercool.

meaning the top card?

im sure it'd be okay, could always slightly underclock the top card if overheating, although i doubt it would..

You would have to underclock both cards.

If you were to go SLI id either firstly, buy one better card, if its single screen setup, i'll be upgrading my 680GTX in a year to the latest gpu

Those components will be fine, but I have an M-ATX G1 Sniper M5 board in mine, and I don't think I would dare fit another 670 simply because the cooler of the card would literally be 1-2mm away from the PSU which I don't think will do airflow any good.

This pic shows what I mean (I have changed the PSU since this pic but the sizes are the same)

Picture a second card sat in the bottom slot!

Both cards.

No MATX board aside from the Gigabyte sniper allows decent spacing between the cards for sufficient cooling for powerful cards and the 350D is not really a high airflow case.

Watercooling them is really the only viable option unless they are reference blower type cards but even then they will struggle.

Gah...can't decide if it's worth switching to MATX. I move my machine about 3 times a year for LANs, but can't decide if it's worth it.
