I have a cooler master 690 II advanced and I think I want to upgrade it.
Why? I have a pretty annoying problem.
I am currently using a Gigabyte UD3R X58 motherboard, and two SLI GTX 560 Ti video cards.
The issue?
This motherboard has somewhat of a non "standard" PCI layout, basically its a 3 way sli motherboard, (says it on the box) that isn't the standard layout. The first PCI-E slot doesn't start til slot 3 or so, meaning in my large but still mid tower 690 II advanced the cards do not fit in the first PCI-e slot and the third pci-e slot. Basically the cards get almost no space between eachother and get because of this get extremely loud while playing Battlefield 3, Crysis or Rift.
It seems pretty stupid i know but it bothers me, i hate hearing my top video card at full speed because it has no air flow and I've tried everything with the current case, a bottom mounted fan flowing directly towards it, a second fan at the drive bay and a window mounted fan.. its just to loud and a hastle. I wish it was easier to sell my video cards and just purchase a 680 but i use my rig everyday for games, and buying a new motherboard is a waste with my older cpu.
I am thinking about getting a NZXT Switch 810
I would get a 600t but they look like it wouldn't be big enough to fix my issue i would like any suggestions.
I won't be doing water cooling i have a hyper 212+ with ap 15's on it and it runs perfectly fine.
