PC Case w/ Quad 120mm Rad?

benji182 · 2 Feb 2022 at 18:08

Hello all,

I have been using my TJ-07 for a very very very long time now and have had a quad rad in the lower compartment for just as long.

I'm thinking of getting something different as it lacks so many features of a modern cases however I'm struggling to find anything that would/could utilise my 480 rad.

Are there any good cases you'd recommend that can fit a quad rad in there or would I likely need to swap to a 360 rad or two 240 rads?

Suggestions please

Corsair 7000x or 1000d, Meshify 2xl are worth checking out

Thanks for those snarloas, the Meshify 2XL looks quite nice but given the quality of reviews on youtube I'm not sure anything will ever live up to the TJ07 I already have. I mean I've powered coated the inside black as it pre-dates cases being painted/coated.

Maybe downgrading my radiator is a better option and selling the TJ07 =/

The Lian Li O11D variants do look good...

The 011 xl cases are good and I have worked on my friends. If it had more 140mm fan support I would have went for one. I have had 3 cases in the last year and find gripes with them all. I'm still searching the the perfect cases lol

O11 XL can only take 360mm max, but you can fit 3 of them plus an extra 120mm in the rear

only certain cases can take a 480mm rad, the meshify 2 xl but I think if blocks you from doing more than 280mm in the front so you end with one 480mm and one 280 rad or you could do one 420mm and one 360mm. I do know the Corsair 1000D can as well but that case is a tank that makes the Meshify 2 XL look small... it can take four of them at once as well as space for 8 fans on each radiator

Phanteks 719 can take a 480 in the front or side.

Yeah the Corsair case is far too big for my desk but I could work with the mechify 2XL however feels like it would be a step down in quality.
The O11 might only take 360 rads but given the size saving I'm thinking I might have to go this route.

This looks good but is even bigger than the TJ07 I have.

Ahh I'm torn as what to do - thank you all for the input though.
