Smallest case to fit Gaming X Trio 2080ti and Kraken X62

Too Tall · 25 Feb 2020 at 17:45

I'm looking to downsize my desktop as we have a little one on the way.

I currently have a Fractal R6 which I'm really happy with in terms of looks/performance but would like to free up some desk space.

I would like to fit the following;

MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Ti (327 x 140 x 55.6 mm)
NZXT Kraken X62
32GB Team Group Dark Pro (4x module)

Appreciate I'll need a new motherboard too.

I don't think you can fit those three together in any itx case, you can fit the gpu in a H200i, but then you would need a single fan AIO, and probably mid-tower cases are already the size of your fractal r6

I've just been looking at exactly the same thing! I have the same card and case, but with a Corsair H100i AIO and 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance Pro ram.

Seems a larger case would be better for that GPU, just seems too thick and air flow won't be that good in a H200.

FormD T1 can fit a triple slot GPU and an AIO. Doubt it will be cheap.

Think you will need to go Matx since you have 4 sticks of RAM.

Cerberus is probably the smallest.

There's also the Fractal Meshify C. I was considering this case a while back. Not too expensive and looks to have decent thermals. Not the smallest but it looks quite nice in my opinion. (skip to 0:50 to see how a build looks inside.)

If you're going to go mini itx, the fractal define s nano could probably fit that gpu if you use an sfx power supply and put the aio in the roof

I'll also follow this thread as I will be looking to buy a Zen3 + 3080Ti rig later this year and want the smallest case possible with enough airflow for stable stock speeds and no overclocking.

Not exactly small but it's a decent looking ITX case that can house a 360mm radiator. For air cooling it looks like it can fit a triple slot GPU.

I used a Ghost S1 with a 9900k and 2080Ti. A slim 240mm was able to cool it but the fans needed to be at 1500-1800 rpm.

That rust patina!
