Need a compact case

[Franco_cov]

Guys,

I currently have the W2 CoolTek case which I love, however I am looking to upgrade my 1080 to a 2080 ti and the good cards that have 3 fans on them are longer and therefore will not fit in my current case.

I currently have the Corsair AIO Water cooling double rad at the front for my cpu and dont have the space to fit these extra long cards.

Now I am tempted to just go the Founders route or cards with 2 fan design but find I am losing the available boost that I can get on these 3 fan cards out of the box.

So any ideas on a case pretty much the same size just a tad longer to allow the card to fit in everything else with the case is fine. And with the 2080 ti cards being expensive dont want to get a card to fit my current case if it means I am losing on value for money wihen buying the card (if you know what I mean)

NB: Ignore my Signature have not got round to updating it yet

The W2 is an unusual form factor as it is. Could be a challenge to find something that's the same width and height, but a little longer.

I'm assuming you need ~300mm GPU clearance,pplus ~52mm for the radiator and fans? And are you limited on case height?

Have you considered ditching the AIO and buying a decent air cooler? From the spec sheet, it looks like the new Noctua NH-U12A will fit in that case. You'd then have the full 320-345mm GPU clearance.

If you've got the money, the Sliger Cerberus X will do the trick whilst being smaller than your current case. You can get up to a 280mm rad in there alongside a 2080 Ti FTW3.

I have the W2 and managed to fit the EVGA 2080Ti XC Ultra in just fine.
Also have the NZXT Kraken X62 in the front...
