Tidying my case

aceytrixx · 22 May 2015 at 09:20

So having just added two Kraken G10 and X31's to cool my GPU's my case has become a bit of a mess

However I'm not actually sure there's much I can do without buying a new case. Admittedly I'm not a fan of how bent the bottom water pipes are but I can't see another way to have it set up

Custom loop (pricey) or bigger case are your best options there I think.
Selling the AIO's on MM should help a little.
How important is airflow though when it's all on a closed loop?

Yeah im not wanting to go down the custom loop route. I didn't really want to get the g10's but it was the only way to get the temps down.

A bigger case is definitly an option. I'm also not fussed about a window in a new case since where it's going now it won't be visible anyway. However I guess your right really the temps are fine and it won't be visible so I can just pretend it's laid out well if I can't see it haha

Wow it looks fairly cramped in there

I'd have to get a new case if it was me. Just knowing it was like that would bug the hell out of me even if I couldn't see it.

Yeah it does bother me too. I may look into getting a full tower as it's now going on the floor beside my desk so I'd have plenty space and having the power switch on the top woukd be handy. Ill need to have a look and see what i can find. I don't need a window if it's going there so that opens up some options. I had a look at some silent cases before but there seems to be no way to get decent airflow in them or am I missing something?

That would send my cable management OCD through the roof.

Good luck!

What would be a good tower case to get? a lot of them seem to have solid fronts and surely this greatly affects the airflow?

What sort of budget do you have in mind for a new case?

aceytrixx · 22 May 2015 at 20:14

Probably around £100 or so

With all those rads im guessing you need one of those Phantek cases.

In fact im not even sure thats enough.

From the looks of it the cables need to be a bit more tidy apart from that its ok,cable ties are your best friend.

Or velcro seems to be popular now

aceytrixx · 23 May 2015 at 07:13

Yeah I do need quite a bit of rad space to keep everything cool. Ill maybe just keep the case and just pick up a modular 1000w psu for now. The 850 I have is ok but I've also done no overclocking on the cards just to be safe. Even the larger cases like the colossus don't seem to have all the mounting points id need.
