Don't get me wrong, mate. I'd love to be able to splash that amount of cash and get the best hardware available. And I'm not the only one. If you can afford to do it, then go for it. I have the Fractal Define R5 and I love it. It has lots of room, it's easy to work with it and its whisper quiet, I doubt they've messed it up with the R7. My only advise would be to add at least another exhaust fan given that you'll likely go for components that will dump a lot of heat into the case. |
I'm beginning to think that 3090 + silent isn't really a combination that's possible.
I was planning to keep the case closed except for bottom intake and back exhaust. If I go with liquid cooling I'll probably have to open up the case at the top which won't do well with noise levels. I could go for a closed top with air cooling but then GPU and CPU probably won't have too much fun within that small case. My current case is pretty huge and I do not have high end components in it so it's pretty much irrelevant, but with the coming Zen 3 and T H I C C Nvidia it might become an issue in a small case like the Define 7. Normally I would have taken the XL version but that's not available in white.
Case is coming in 2 days, maybe it's bigger than I think.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
