Hi guys recently i have purchase 2 x ATI Asus 6970 for crossfire intention on my Crosshair IV , but i never anticipated the card to be so huge inside my NZXT Tempest Evo casing , woud like to ask any FULL ATX Casing which is nice and clean , nothing likt he GT 10 and also good price , i know most FULL Atx casing from lianli and corsair would solve my problem , but am open for suggestion or any ideas i can work around attach here my current setup which i am force to use 1 card for safety purpose or can this setup jalan from ppl experiece with 3 way Crossfire which is stack like sandwitch Thanks again

600t is a good casing but your card is direct cuII right? it think not enough space at the bottom as the psu will block the second card

QUOTE(fmlim @ Oct 14 2011, 07:19 PM) Very nice guys ~ but i think the 600T , might not fit i calculated the spaces , in order to fully use the X16 slots , i need to be on the pci 1 and 3 , well i did consider going x8 but the damn card lol is just too BIG
u need to look for casing which have extra room between mobo and psu becoz of those huge cards

actually they put so tight no performance issue ?? no over heating how to ppl get away with that kind of setup , judging from my setup do you guys think it will be an issue for the bottom card ?

Added on October 14, 2011, 7:29 pmowh ofcoz u can only fit 1 laaa Added on October 14, 2011, 7:31 pmQUOTE(fmlim @ Oct 14 2011, 07:26 PM) @iaknesnah yess its a crosshair formula IV, btw can the TJ 07 the last pci slow below the plate can it be remove ? i dont get what u mean?

TJ seems to be super expensive but it is a bargain... TS do consider inverted setting such as in the Raven02? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by budakhops: Oct 14 2011, 07:39 PM

on the second thought i dont think tj07 also can fit the second card unless u remove the card's bracket
Added on October 14, 2011, 7:44 pmi dont think raven02 also can fit your second card bro..
Added on October 14, 2011, 7:46 pmyup tj07 can fit but just need to mod a lil bit only to the casing
Added on October 14, 2011, 7:50 pmXigmatek Elysium will fit nicely with no mod. lian li pc a77 i am not sure can fit. but if u put your psu on top then can fit laa.
