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

as u can see.. very tight space at the bottom for direct cuII cards. and from your mobo the second card will have to put at the 5th slot of the cards which is at the 6th slots of the casing

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 ?

TJ seems to be super expensive but it is a bargain...
TS do consider inverted setting such as in the Raven02?

yes i was looking at it the other day , well i have like 6 HDD , i did consider that apart if i can just close 1 eye on the cable sticking out , but got me thinking if i populate more hard disk i would be back to square 1 as this time the heat from the HDD will be going thru the GFX card

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.
