Vlada011Here is one more review if you didn't checked.

Not sure what to think of this review.
They make cooling performance look sub-par with the DG-87, but aircooling is not really what this case was meant to do, is it?
Load it up with the big hulking radiators and water loop its designed to take, and THEN talk about performance and noise.
Double 420 rad with low RPM fans, waterblocks on everything, decent semi passive PSU, makes a world of difference.
This review feels like someone is talking about how a sailboat handles on the road.

I just looked at my order history and it says my case has already been shipped at some point.
Thanks for letting me know, EVGA!  Who needs a tracking number anyway, right?
That giant box is supposedly on its way now, and I have no clue when I should stay home and wait for it to arrive.
 
Seriously, EVGA.. You guys make awesome stuff, but this customer service.. Its abysmal.

It gets better mate, it hasn't actually shipped. It just says that...

Check out this thread on this forum: "PREORDER DG 8 EU SHIP"

EVGA have been abysmal recently. With this and the 1080 Hybrid...

It hasn't actually shipped yet? Thank god, I was getting pretty worried.
Because if I miss the delivery and have to go get that colossal box from their depot in the middle of my car-free city center.. eesh..
 
On another topic, has anyone seen any 420 inline (in one end, out the other) radiators around anywhere?
I'm having a hard time planning 2 radiators without having to run excessive tubing.
EDIT: Found one, but it seems a little slim? http://www.watercoolinguk...XFlow-Black_44932.html
 
I did find something else though, how does having a 420 radiator up front work with the drive cage?

Will it get in the way, or is there enough room to shimmy a radiator in between?

Ok, Provided it all fits, heres my first shot at kitting this thing with watercooling:
 
Dinky little plan made in photoshop (to scale):

The top radiator is a Black Ice Xflow 420 slim (Thin as hell, but should be fine..).
http://www.watercoolinguk...XFlow-Black_44932.html
The front radiator is an EK Coolstream CE 420.

The CPU block is a Heatkiller VI Pro all Nickel (best block around, colored like the case)
http://shop.watercool.de/...rcooleK/Products/18001
Motherboard is an Asus ROG Maximus VIII Formula (mouthfull, but has cool features + watercooled)
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-VIII-FORMULA/
Videocards are SLI Zotac AMP GTX 1080 Arctic Storm (preinstalled goodlooking waterblocks)
https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1080-arcticstorm
Pump and Res are an EK-XRES100 Revo D5 PWM..
https://www.ekwb.com/shop...-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump
..with extended reservoir..
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-res-x3-tube-250-204mm
.. and 2 packets of EK reservoir clips. (because I need 2 for res, 1 for pump)

I'm also gonna sneak in an Enginia Rock Flowmeter coming off the radiator at the top.

Ofcourse I still need a bleed valve somewhere, not sure what would be the best spot for it though.
Maybe right out of the pump-out port? (The one going straight for the radiator)
 
For tubing im still entirely in the dark. Hardtubing does look cool, but not sure if I can do it. :p
Fat diameter whitewall flex tubing with black anti cinch coils might look cool (it will be an RGB lighted case).
 
What do you guys think? Tips? Thoughts?

cant wait to see it completed Sokonomi!
 
I'm down to 2 more pieces needed to get my initial build going i will prolly finish ordering them today and hopefully with in 2 weeks all parts will be here and i can begin

I'm going to buy a watercooling kit to start out with and I have a choice of either a 280 with a 2x 140mm dual fan radiator (
Dimensions: 150 x 40 x 332mm (WxDxH) (46mm at ports)) or a 360 with 3x 120mm triple fan radiator (Dimensions: 128 x 40 x 406mm (WxDxH) (46mm at ports)) This will be push/pull in the top.
 
Ideally I would have gone with a 420mm with 3x 140mm but that's not an option right now, am I right then in thinking the 360 is the way to go even though it's 120mm fans?
 
Cheers.

Well this is depends on what your planning to cool and whether you plan to OC and how much etc. You need to give a little more details :)

If its just the CPU and one GPU at stock speeds you should be fine.
Rule of thumb seems to be one 120 for every stock speed device, two 120 if you overclock.
But that was back when CPUs still had a TDP of 150w and videocards still ate 300w though,
so not sure if that still holds any water these day. ;)

vormiciaYou need to give a little more details :)

Of course, sorry :)
 
Initially it will be to cool an overclocked i5-6600K 4.2-4.5 ish and that's it to start.
 
Later this year - early next I may look into upgrading my Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 3 board with a 200 series chipset and watercool that if applicable and look into the GPU.
 
To be honest the main reason I'm choosing to watercool is purely aesthetic and nothing to do with temperatures and with the RGB now on most GPU's I'm not sure I want to remove the fans.
 
And thanks Sokonomi that helps.
