with the 900 and all air cooled with slight oc fans need to run at med speeds to keep stuff cool what i would be happy with is the dist in one area ie the radiators versus the entire case. Thanks for all the info so far been a lot of help

I must admit that the 900 was a bit like a hoover compared to others, I had one before getting the HAF and was cleaning it out probably 2 or 3 times a month, once a month and less for the HAF 😉

My card isn't water cooled yet, only CPU, and I'm 2° above ambient on idle with the pump running at 30% and fans at 50% capacities. So not very noisy 😉

Yes, Elysium is great case for watercooling(i have it my self). But if you are planing to use two PSUs. Then you cant use those orginals rad mounts anymore (space issue), but it dosnt mean you stil cant have Rads installed in side the case(you just have to do your own muntings).
