I actually think Neranja's use-case is correct. The only other case I can think of that would provide max airflow to 2 GPUs would be the SL600M, or one of the invertable Be Quiet cases.Since you didn't seem to understand what I was writing, I made you a picture.
So, if you can find me a different case with clearance for an 8th PCI slot, that isn't an overblown "big" or "server" tower case I'd like to hear about it. No, the second graphics card doesn't go into slots 3 and 4, that 6800 XT is beefy, and it would also make the PCIe on it go from x16 to x8. I don't need the performance on the second card. It just has to work.

The RGB thing was a jab at all the AIO coolers that have RGB fans preinstalled, where you have to pay extra for them. Mine doesn't. Read my post again.
Also, the big selling point of water cooling is the bigger heat buffer, as in: the water has more mass and takes longer to heat up, and therefore slower dissipation. This is great if your workload consists of short bursts where you need performance on all cores, e.g. when you are transcoding, rendering or compiling. If I would only game on my system I could've gone with a 5600X and air cooling, but sadly I have work to do.
Trust me, I still have a Noctua air cooler in my other system, and in my room you could hear the fan noise ramp up and down.
Considered the SL600M, but the 6800XT wouldn't fit without removing the HDD cage: needed 340mm vs. 318mm clearance.the SL600M, or one of the invertable Be Quiet cases.

I've mentioned this case I believe in
vs. 318mm clearance.
The 420mm doesn't readily fit, but Arctic has 280 and 360 models.
It sits off to my right side and behind my peripheral vision, so I don't even see the RGB.That bright ass blue would drive me insane eventually.
Yeah I change all my RGB shit to be gold so it all looks like the briefcase from Pulp Fiction.
Nothing with a bottom-mounted PSU will fit his need, because the PSU and shroud blocks air to the GPU, and the GPU will likely not even clear the top of the PSU.EVOLV X GLASS
I've mentioned this case before, best I've ever owned. Build quality top notch and I believe it would fit your need.

That's not what he wanted though.NOTHING... never change Mist. You mount it vertically, you don't need 3 140's blowing a 1660ti, lol.
Yeah, but the 6800XT is the beefiest graphics card I ever owned, even beefier than the big Quadro's at work. And vertically mounting 5 slots worth of GPU quickly becomes an issue.you don't need 3 140's blowing a 1660ti
Took them about 3 days to get me my 6700XT. Never really had a problem with them.Ahh yes, Newegg. Almost 2 weeks from order to arrival.
His order shows it’s shipping the next day.Ahh yes, Newegg. Almost 2 weeks from order to arrival.
Bet you wish you future proofed your psu huh450w phew, didn't see anything about LHR. I wonder how hot the ram runs.
