mATX Watercooling Case

SimonSt3r · Dec 4, 2016

I am doing a build with a 6800k and I wanted to go mATX with the Asus x99M-WS.

What is the best mATX chassis for watercooling that will look good with copper tubing?

or...

Is there a small ATX chassis that is good for watercooling and if so what motherboard should I get that has similar features to the M-WS?

have a look at phanteks cases pretty sure they will have one

not sure about copper tubing wont it oxidise and go brown?

or maybe could lacquer it to stop that?

have seen it done with chromed tubing though

mcnumpty23 :

The only Phanteks case that is mATX is the mATX Evolv which looks very cramped even for an mATX case. I was looking at the Define C mini but I haven't seen any builds inside in and I don't really care for the look.

As for the oxidation of the copper I am thinking about using chromed copper or I could also sand regular copper tubing and paint it to get a matte look. What do you think would look good?

have seen it done in chromed really liked it

not so sure about a matte finish--though thats partly because my led strips work well on shiny tubing

at the end of the day its your pc so what you like is the way to go--every one has different tastes

I still need to figure out what case to use though.

never used a really small case myself

what about bitfenix?

will certainly have a choice of colour with them

I will look at some. Thanks for your help!

no problem if nothing by them suits just say and will try to think of others though small cases arent something i am too familiar with

If I were to go ATX do you have any suggestions of a small ATX case?

lol would still look at phanteks then they might have a good small atx

they do make their cases with watercooling in mind unlike some companies where its just luck if your loop fits
