Hi all,

After a bit of advice regarding a new WC case.. so currently i have...

Deep Silence 1
2 x Coolgate CG240 240mm Radiator - Black
4 x Noiseblocker NB-eLoop Fan B12-2 - 120mm (1300rpm)
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-D5 Vario X-RES 140 (incl. pump)
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy EVO - Full Nickel (Original CSQ)
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Titan X/GTX 980Ti Acetal Nickel

The problem i have is there isn't much airflow through the case and it gets hot inside (mainly due to the intake 240).

I have a 240 in the roof and a 240 at the front. Basically i'd like to a nice case with i guess a 480 at the top with a few intake fans to keep the case cool and let the rad do its job.

Currently i'm OC my 980Ti to 1500/8000 and 3770k(1.25v) to 4.5Ghz with temps of the CPU get to 80~c according to RealTemp and the GPU maxes about 60c. i feel these are a bit high?

idle is about 35cpu/gpu. (usualy UK temps about 20 or so deg).

Basically i'm looking for an excuse to upgrade my case to something nice and cool :) !

Thanks,
Arch
 
I would say go for either a Enthoo Pro M or Define S, both brilliant cases and have been highly recommended for people water cooling, I'm sure some other options are out there :D
 
thanks guys; think i might be going for the phantecs primo; seems lot of options and space! never had a case that big but i'm sure its what i'm looking for!
 
I have the Enthoo Primo with 2 480s in. When you imagine the case is large just be prepared for it being even bigger in reality... It really is HUGE... Makes everything nice to work on, even my E-ATX motherboard is swallowed up. All the drive bays you could ever need.
Coming from a Corsair case though I don't think the quality is there on the Enthoo. Not to say it feels cheap or tacky but its not what I would call particularly classy.
 
thanks NNNN; i'll me measuring it to make sure it fits under my desk (or at least how much space it takes on top :)

Just need to make sure my pump can handle 480+ (2x 240 maybe). do you know how to work it out?
