scu4243 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi, I was just wondering how to tell what is the max thickness is in these New Core X cases? Like I would get the Core X2 becouse I have a Micro-ATX motherboard and I might going with two 360mm or one 360mm radiator in the top, then later getting a second one and put a 540mm radiator in both. I have a Asus Gene, an I5 4670k, with one gtx 980 then in a few months I'll be getting a second 980 with a new 1000w up tp 1200w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 CPU cooler height limitation: 230mm So highest part on the motherboard - total height = space available for radiators and fans. The GPU is most likely the highest part, so measure it (dont forget to add cable space) and you will be able to tell how much space you got left. scu4243 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiobe Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thank You, I didn't think of that No problem, I have been working out that problem for my X9 build, so its nice to share it. scu4243 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the top ODD cage taken out, it is 92 mm (you can take out the second and the third too, of course). The rest is only limited by your hardware.

Tte Martin Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 No problem, I have been working out that problem for my X9 build, so its nice to share it. If you want me to measure the X9 for you, I can do that. Got a ruler right here scu4243 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you want me to measure the X9 for you, I can do that. Got a ruler right here Sure. My current though is 64mm rad + 38mm fan or 102mm total. Also, while you are at it, can you measure the bottom bay, both width and height? scu4243 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tte Martin Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sure. My current though is 64mm rad + 38mm fan or 102mm total. Also, while you are at it, can you measure the bottom bay, both width and height? The X9 has about 51mm clearance to the top ODD, 99mm to the second ODD and 142mm to the third ODD. With a 102mm thick setup, you'd end up with only one usable ODD (assuming it longer than 360mm). What bottom bay to you mean? The bottom ODD bay or the other HDD bays at the bottom of the case? scu4243 and ThermalMike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the section bellow the motherboard. As I'm going crazy and modding space for 4 rads down there, but havent found any clear numbers on that part of the case yet. Also, I dont need more then 1 ODD, and that is for my fan controller. Will get an external dvd case, for the few times I need it. scu4243 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tt Leo Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hey guys, I am fixing you guys a internal measurement graph on the x series, please refer to the Core X series discussion thread, hope it will help on clarify your concern and builds. Core X9 is currently ready...still working on the X2 & X1, it should be available soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Core X9 is currently ready...still working on the X2 & X1, it should be available soon. Hope its more detailed then whats been released on the website. If X9 chart is ready, can we see it now, so we can start finalising our parts list? Edit: Never mind, saw that you updated the thread without it showing.

Thanks, but you might want to check with Tt Leo, since the graph he posted in the Core X series discussion thread, says something else. I'm lost as to which numbers I should belive right now.

Tte Martin Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I took a ruler and measured from side to side, the measurements from this graph are a bit more sophisticated. You can believe them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I took a ruler and measured from side to side, the measurements from this graph are a bit more sophisticated. You can believe them. The problem I have with the graph is that it says the case is 540mm from back to front (inside), meaning you cant put a 590mm long video cards into it (like the website says). So simply different sources says different things and I just want a clear answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tte Martin Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 590mm long graphics cards will fit. Are there graphics cards that long out there already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 590mm long graphics cards will fit. Are there graphics cards that long out there already? The point was that right now so do I have 3 sources for numbers: You, Leo and the website. Which leaves me with conflicting numbers and I have no way of knowing which is the right once. Best shown with "the graph" that says 540mm is the full depth of the case, while you and the website says 590mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tte Martin Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 "The graph" does not take into account that you can use a couple of cm extra on both front and rear of the case for the graphics card. 590mm will fit 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiobe Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 "The graph" does not take into account that you can use a couple of cm extra on both front and rear of the case for the graphics card. 590mm will fit 100% And there is the problem, there is no way for people that havent gotten there hands on the case to know that, leading to confusion when different set of numbers are presented. This is the numbers I get from the graph: Internal height 402mm (256mm+146mm) (100mm less then total height) Internal width 289mm (149mmx2) (91mm less then total width) Internal depth 540mm (100mm less then total depth) From website: Dimension (H x W x D) 502 x 380 x 640 mm So ether is the sheet metal used for the case quite thick or there is something wrong with the numbers. And when you plan on stuffing the case full of water cooling, so does the numbers matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tt Andy Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Chiobe, Regards to the dimensions listed, for your convenience we actually measured the space you can work with taking out the front panel and the case feet so that must be why the numbers don't match up ThermalMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
