@testkurva The Corsair 800D was never a good case. It's so overrated; I don't know why people like it so much. Sure it's big, sure it has lots of cable management, and sure it has a window. But the damn case has absolutely no ariflow. The only use for the 800D is if you're going with water cooling.

Quad SLI? hell those are ATI cards!

@Vortex1988 Few other cases have more intake fans, and they have two at the front instead. If you want positive pressure you simply take out the top fan closest to the front (this does not come as standard on purchase anyway). The side fan (200mm) and front fan (230mm) will outweigh the 140mm rear and 200mm top fans.

@Bigducey101 Well no kidding, lol. There are practically no places to put intake fans on this case though, which is the main problem with it if you're planning on getting the case for air cooling. A lack of intake is bad for two reasons.

1. You don't get cool air into your case in order to cool things off. The hot air is exhausted, but there still isn't any cool air, which is really what helps to cool components

2. It causes negative pressure, which means dust build up.

@YamiPoyo Corsair sells those little ALC coolers for cpus. If you used one of those, you would still need airflow for the graphics cards. The only reason to buy the 800D is if you're going to be buying a custom water cooling kit that is going to end up cooling the cpu, motherboard, and graphics cards.

@Vortex1988 you can add fans.

@testkurva I have to say as a owner of Corsair 800D I kinda regret my purshase, I bought it becuse I thought it looked good, had hotswap and was quiet. But unfortunetly it get easily scratched and a magnet to fingerprints and doesn´t cool well despite I have removed all original fans and put two 140mm fans at the top. I wish I had bought the Silverstone raven 1 instead.
