first of all i want to thank toms community for beign so helpful, and my question is, im planning on putting TWO radeon hd 7990's in crossfire, my question is, whats the better case for this (cooling concerns) cooler master haf x or nzxt phantom 820? thx in advance

Get the biggest, roomiest case you can find for those two furnaces. The NZXT would probably be a tad better of the two. Btw, you may want to read this before you invest in those to cards: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7990-crossfire-overheat,3539.html

ya, i know

i read it, thats why i wanted a better cooler, so the nzxt is better right?

I would probably go for the NZXT over the HAF X, yes. It appears to be roomier. One plus about the HAF X is the added fan shroud you can mount a fan in, and place on the drive cage. But that may turn out to be impractical in some case depending on where the card(s) extend to.

Also realize that the choice in case probably wont make much of a difference, both of them will have plenty of airflow. If you want to go dual 7990's, you really want to be water-cooling them.
