Mattt14000
Hi I need some help. So recently I finally got a gpu after msi rma refund with 6800xt. I was looking for a 3090 and couldnt get one at msrp . I was on reddit in Canada hardwareswap and someone offered me a 3090 kingpin near msrp so i took it. Fast forward to today I just got it and when I tried to install it I didnt realize it wouldnt fit. My o11 dynamic cant fit the 360 aio on side because of my h115i and i cant switch them because the 280 wont fit on the side. Im trying to think of a possible solution and only one I can think of without putting a rad on the bottom, is that I need a new case. Im thinking maybe the o11 xl. Will that support my h115i and the 3090 on the side? Any replies or other solutions is greatly appreciated.
Get a bigger case if you have the room to have a bigger case. I've always had a policy of buying the biggest reasonably sized case I could find, and it's served me well. Having more room for radiators & more room to work (so you don't end up cutting your hands on computer case edges) is very underrated imo.
If you want to go full derptard like I did, the Thermaltake View 91 is a very overpriced ($449), but very awesome case :-D I keep my cases through several build iterations, so spending that much on a case, while it still hurt, wasn't too bad, and I really like it, here's a shot of my current setup all overly-tubed & fanned & whatnot:
Even with a P360 (38mm thick) radiator up top, and a XE 480 (60mm thick) radiator in the front, it's still a very spacious case.
