Topic: Assassin Case Posted: 27 Jul 2010 at 10:05am |
Judging from the pictures of the assassin case, it looks like it can't support anything bigger than a 120mm radiator if you choose to go LC with the case. What about people who want to go stage 4 LC on this case, they still have to pay the premium even if it can't support the 240MM radiator?
Or can the case support this? Doesn't seem fair if the case can't support the bigger radiator. I understand that there are a few different things going from Stage 3 LC to Stage 4 besides just the radiator, but if the case can't accomdate the larger radiator shouldn't it be discounted for just being able to use the 120mm one?

The FT02 has the exact internal layout of Raven Case, and some dude managed to fit a 360rad on the bottom of the RV02

It does support it. We have installed 360 radiators on this chassis.

Does the Assassin case come with filters? For some reason I seem to get alot of dust in my computers.

LC'ing with a 360 rad on the Assassin seems kinda, well, dumb to me. See, 240/360 rads are mountable on the bottom 180mm fans of the case. If you don't see what I'm gonna be getting to, here's an example. If you did a CPU only LC with a 240 rad, then the rad would be mounted at the bottom of the case, with the 180mms blasting on them, and all the hot air going through with the case's vertical airflow design. THAT means, all that hot air is going to be directed up and around your non-LC'd graphics cards, raising ambient temps and causing them to suck in warm air instead of cool, freshly intaked air. Interrupts the flow with hotter air. If you did LC for them too, then you'd still have higher ambient temps around the GPUs and any motherboard heatsinks too if they weren't in the LC loop.
And yesh, the case comes with filters. Only disadvantage even with filters though is that the case has an open, vented top. If the computer isn't running 24/7 blasting air through those vents, then air is free to settle down and settle dust directly through that top hatch into the case. Computers are supposed to build up a lot of dust though, which is why you gotta clean em, especially with these higher end builds. |

Yeah it doesn't make much sense to me either. What would be a good case for Stage 4 LCing, but also still allow enough airflow to cool say a GTX 480? I like the Corsair 800D but not the price, so that's out of the question. I'm not a big fan of the HAF 932 either, not to mention it doesn't have filters.

Raven 1, since it mounts bigger rads externally, or maybe the CM Storm series. Or possibly the InWin cases (Maelstorm and Ironclad)

damn. Well I like the Raven 1, though I would prefer a window case. I absolutely don't like the idea of an externally mounted rad though. I can understand for a dual loop setup, but not a single loop.
CM Storm series might be my best bet. I will have to read some reviews on this.
I don't like the InWin cases at all. They look really tacky to me. I wish DS offered more cases like Lian Li....just something sleek and elegant, and simple.

Without Modding the Corsair 700/800 can fit the same amount of radiator as any Lian Li.
It completely sucks that lian li were idiotic enough to discontinue their most popular line of cases the V series. Quad Rad on the bottom + Tripple Rad on Top or with 30 minutes worth of modding. 2 Quad Rads. |

It just matters how much time you want to put into it, and how creative you are. lol.. the Corsair 800d will fit 2 quads and a double all inside. with correct airflow, in/out ballance, which can be very hard to do when you start adding multiple radiators.
