In terms of cooling i like the Zalman, but it can only hold 290 MM cards, but the NZXT 410 supports 305 mm cards without the front man installed, this is a con of course, BUT you can add 1 side, 1 rear and 2 top fans so you still have optimal cooling. They both support water cooling which is a plus. They both have cable management and a little back cutout for easier CPU cooler installation.

In terms of specs and the like, the Zalman is the winner. Downside is that you have to have a 290 mm card or smaller for this case. But cooling is more important than performance.

The asrock will fit but maybe and i say "maybe" you can add only 2 of those R9's... you can try because I hear that the Zalman z11 is spacious, but instead of lying to you im going to say you can probably add only two... since the PSU mount is at the bottom and it can hinder you from adding in a GPU.

not saying bottom mounted PSU's are bad they actually help with airflow.

Is the zalman z11 really better at cooling then the nzxt phantom 410 . I saw a review of someone saying the zalman is really bad at cooling . If both the cases are not good at cooling what would you recommend for around the same prise as the nzxt or zalman case I really like my things as cold at can be

My specs are
I7 4770k stock fan
Asrock z87 pro 4
8g strotum 1600 MHz ram
Thermaltake 650w tough power
1× Gigabyte windforce 3 r9 290

Ill be buying the Cooler Master Seidon 120V cpu watercooling unit soon as well.
