Thank you C-Attack for taking the time to provide the pro and contra's for both ways. the 2080ti comes with a 240mm rad. https://www.gigabyte.com/be/Graphics-Card/GV-N208TAORUSX-W-11GC#kf Reviews i have been reading are top notch. (but the price is as well) i really love the easthetics of a custom cooling loop like Hydro-X, but i'm a bit worried for maintenance and building the thing together. that is where AIO's shine, they are super easy. perhaps 10 to 20% less efficient, but since i'm not an overclocker they should do the deal. but i haven't made any decision yet, weighing out all options :) At this moment, it's like 60-40 in advantage of the AIO route, but still some time before i place my order :)

Thanks :) still trying to decide wether i will go for Hydro X or for a CPU AIO, and a GPU with a AIO cooler like the 2080ti Aorus Extreme WB

Hi All, probably a bit early, but will a H150i AIO be compatible for a i9 10920x CPU ? (Black friday opportunity i'm having at a local store for a H150i) Thx Regards Joeri

Really nice build ! Looks stunning. can you get some more shots, showing the interior from the side ?

Lol Zotty.... i'd need to make an extension to my house first then, to be able to fit this case into the room :D::D::D::D: Would an i3 with 2gb ram and a Voodoo 2 card fit in that case ? :p:

yeah, the 680x is probably a great case for many, and the dual chamber does give you good cable management options, but it's just somehow a let down to have to put the Water Pump/reservoir in the back if you go with 2 rads and a big GPU. Taste preferences are subjective off coarse, but i love the looks of the 500 and the 1000 :p:

LOOOOL :) 3 x 360 up front ... :p that would be overkill :p

Yes, exactly ! :biggrin:

yeah, i would be fine with it. but obviously would prefer to have it inside the case. With the recent Custom loop developments from different manufacturers, i think there is a bit of a gap in PC Cases now which isn't filled. Like the Obsidian 500D, it is 500mm*507mm*230mm if you go all out on Custom Water loop, and a Big GPU you, and a good storage Array, you get into space issues still. but there is no viable alternative from Corsair which is like 600mm*600mm*300mm. that would give quite some more freedom. that would make it possible to use the XR7 rads, a big GPU and still have room to have enough storage build in as well. So i'm hoping a bit for a Obsidian type which falls somehow between the 500D and the 1000D :) i LOVE the looks of the obsidian, so i will just need to adapt my build so that i can fit it into the case :) Current plan = AMD 3950X on a Gigabyte Aorus Master mobo Corsair ram (64gb) Gigabyte 2080 Ti Waterforce WB 360mm Rad (XR5) in the front 240mm Rad on the top 2 x old style 10Tb Hard drive 2 Samsung SSD can't wait to get started with it. Looking at other people's builds, this case with the RGB stuff etc is just awesome.

Hi all, i'm getting ready for a new build. will be a 3950X ryzen or a i9 10940x (the latter of they come out soon and if pricing is ok) with a Aorus 2080 Waterforce. this i would build in a Obsidian 500d Se. preferably with a 360mm rad in the front and a 240(280) in the top. there will be most likely just to little room inside the case for the waterpump (configurator proposes a 240 up top, and 2 x 120 rad in the back and the front). so i was thinking of attaching the pump at the back of the case, and maybe make a protective cover around it. it would be convenient with a drain tap as well in fact. anyone did something similar, or is it a bad idea???? the Obsidian 1000D is too big, and the 500d is perhaps a few centimeter too small :biggrin: @ Corsair, invent us a 550d or 600d in the same style of the 1000 or 500 :D: Thanks in advance.
