Current rig:
Amd FX8320 @ 4.0GHZ
CORSAIR H60 Hydro series
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.O
Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB Windforce x 3 (SLI)
Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB Windforce x 3 (SLI)
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
Seagate 500GB HDD
Asus DVD/B-RAY/CD-RW
CORSAIR CX850W modular PSU
All this inside a Rosewell Challenger case. The GPU's had to be shoehorned in and it seems a little cramped. My problem is I can't seem to get enough airflow in the case. These GPU's exhaust their heat out the side of the card. My hard drive rack blocks the front mounted 120mm fan of the case and the H60 just blows more heat into the case. While gaming my top GPU will reach the 80C mark and throttle back. I have 5 case fans that have been moved around in so many different configurations that I have forgotten which works best. Im tired of trying to figure this out and decided to splurge on a bigger case. I need suggestions. Something that vents the GPU heat out the side is a plus.
I was looking at the Corsair Carbide 500r but all I could find was the white case model and I want black. Any info you can provide would be great.
