A question b4 pulling the trigger :)

Thread Starter 
Hi guys,

I'm about to start my new build. Details can be found here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1178217/build-log-i73930k-rampage-iv-extreme-case-labs-m8-3-sli-gtx580-full-wc/0_20

I do have a question though:

The top cover of 85mm, is it 85mm usable within the top cover or its outside size? I plan on sticking the RADs in there as they are 58mm thick (RX360 rev2) so that would make 83mm with the fans, that's a tight fit. Feasible?

The 85mm refers to how much space there is for fans and/or radiators.

Another quick question, sorry tongue.gif

If I install the PSU to the lowest position (M8), is it still possible to install fans below it? (to keep the static pressure positive, i am fighting lots of dust here biggrin.gif ). Basically what is the clearance that is left between the PSU and the bottom. If it's more than 25mm that'd be ideal.

No..you will only have a few mm to work with. If you want to mount a fan under the psu, you will have to mount it into the upper psu bay.

Longroadtrip is right - the bottom PSU sits too low to put a fan underneath it.
