slotrod Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 The RX480 is a good pick since its not as wide as most rads. It will slide right into the drive bay area. My suggestion for the top is cut it out like I did and add a 9x24 quad panel from Mountain mods looks real nice. The only thing I dont like about the build in the link is when you stack rads your gain is minimal since your just transfering heat from one to other. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3257/dscf1188.jpg http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/623/dscf1222j.jpg http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/1699/dscf1178k.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliehorse55 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I have an 800D and I installed an RX480 into the top panel with a few cuts to the top panel. You only have to cut a single piece (the top) but you do lose the uppermost 5.25" drive bay. Here is a nice picture guide: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6546572&postcount=36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoggysky Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 it works:D: maybe in the future i'll mod the case for a second rad. this case is amazing. even the water holes handled 3/4od tubing. my last case i had to inlarge the holes. this psu can put out the juice!!! the ambient air temp in my shop at the time of those pics was 90 degrees. that is some cooling...
