Hey guys,

I am having a very hard time deciding between 2 cases!?!?!?
It is driving me crazy.... okay so here the question.
Is it possible to crossfire 2x R9 290 Sapphire Tri-x in the Nzxt H440 without it getting loud or hot, or should I go for the Define R4 Thnx!

They both should be fine but I'd go for the NZXT H440 - GPU fans are pretty quiet and won't get as loud as case fans especially that your gonna go for the Sapphire Tri x version...Also with Two cards you'll get more GPU juice and the cards may not even reach full load and won't get so hot - are you going to be using more than one monitor?

I have been looking at the H440 by Razer: http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/149-h440-razer-edition-mid-tower.html

One of my potential cases.

Below are the dimensions of the case and card:

I think the stock length of your card is 278mm, that might be wrong.

GPU Clearance With HDD Cage: 294mm.
GPU Clearance Without HDD Cage: 406.2mm.
CPU Cooler: 180mm.
Cable Management: Lowest Point - 17.7mm; Highest Point 32.5mm.

So it looks like you should be fine.

Also try this link here for information on your card, with cooling attached to your card it would change the dimensions so bear that in mind. You will need cooling.

So lets assume you get the Arctic Accelero Extreme 3 Link Here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/r9-290-accelero-xtreme-290,review-32828-2.html
The length would then become 288mm which you could still do.

Hope That Helps.
