Great looking build - (I like the looks of that cooler - maybe a darker top plate for some cases) - would the 301 do OK with my R7-265 card which is spec-ed at 75 watts idle - 235 watts load (Crysis 3)? or is that too much heat overall to dump and/or too much heat right under the CPU?
Fantastic - I'm struggling between the 303 and 301 - (like the aesthetics of the 303 loaded with 3 exhaust fans although seems silly to have one fan feeding the PS intake fan
Its really depends on the size you want, the 303 is ATX and the 301 is mATX. Personally I like the smaller cases, since ATX cases are so huge and even with a nice components, there is a lot of wasted space.
DafaDeniro It was a little cramped, seeing as we used cable extensions, but definitely manageable! It's all hidden behind the motherboard, and the top mounted PSU made it easier.
How are the temps on CPU and GPU ? I ve heared about a thermal throtteling issue ! I really like the case and im planning to do a very similar build as u did .
The temps are okay (definitely no thermal throttling). The most intense thing I do is game on it, and with that, the CPU maxes out at 60c and the GPU maxes out at 70c. A thing to note is that I have the CPU overclocked to 3.7Ghz with 1.3V.
BayJay [German Creepypasta und Videospielmythen] I assume you mean cooling fans. I would place at least two as air intake, and at least one as an exhaust fan.
Wouldn't a Kraken X42 have fit inside? Or the DEEPCOOL Maelstrom AIO would have looked great, and being white would have matched the black/white theme!
The cleanest build I've seen
Appreciate it!

You will have no thermal issues with that card whatsoever. I've never had to worry about temps with the case, even with an OC.

Nice build! How'd the cable management go around the back?

Cheers, got this case coming in soon
I wasn't able to use my extentions without the back panel buldging out

OK thank you for answering my questinons.
I really like the case and i now will do a similar build with an Ryzen 1600 and an gtx 1060.
What speed can you get the 3600 ram up to on the mortar and ryzen 1600? Ryzen have problems with ram above 3000,3200.
Was able to get 3200Mhz CL14 on it stable. 3400Mhz was able to boot but wasn't stable
Cheers (Y). Care to share the CL config? CL X-X-X
Hey :)
Need your help rn.
My motherboard got space for four coolers. Where would you recommend to put them?
I would really love an answer.

Jonas Kvale great, thanks a lot! Liked and subbed

Nice job! But that CPU cooler is ugly af, in my opinion, and kinda kills what could have been a beautiful looking build.
Hah, thanks. It was really hard to find a cooler that fits in the case and didn't sacrifice too much in performance.
