Hi am currently in the process of a full refresh of my computer.
However I am considering reusing my current case which is coolermaster atcs 840 to keep costs down a little.
However I am unsure as while the parts will fit I am worried if it can handle the heat of modern components.
I will be fitting a fractal design kelvin s36 aio and fitting the radiator in the roof replacing the 2x230mm fans there. This will leave the front 230mm fan and the rear 120mm. There is also a 120mm fan mount in the centre of the bottom of the case but this maybe obstructed by the oversized psu.
What would be the best config for the fans? Run all the fans to pull air in and have the radiator exhaust out the top.
Also in regards to the psu it's an evga g2 1300w would it be better to have the fan face up or out of the bottom. The case is on feet on my desk but I am still nervous of using the psu in that configuration.
But would it be easier just to buy a modern case? If so any recommendations?
It needs to be able to fit an asus x99 rampage v eatx mb, be able to fit at least a triple radiator and an oversized psu. Also a windowed panel woul be good as I am working on the look of the build this time as well, where previously I just went functional.
