I imagine the 5800x3d would do fine as long as you have a 240rad to cool it. For example I think it'd be a great match for the A4 h2o

I can second that. I installed an ek 240 in an nr200 yesterday for a friend. At 100% you can hear a very slight motor noise. Lower this to 80% and you can't hear it at all.

I didn't mean slim, 25mm fans are fine. I would replace the fans simply because the P12s perform better than the included ek Vardar, and they are inexpensive.

Re aio choice, the arctic liquid freezer is too thick and won't fit. Personally I would go with the EK 240 and replace the fans with p12s.

It's 120mm wide and 52mm tall, so it should fit no problem.

You can unmount the cooler while traveling I guess. I assume you won't take the case in a plane with you every day ?

I would not advise it, it's a 3 slot card so it'll have no space to breathe. It will likely get loud and will throttle.

The case is quite sexy, but at 173mm wide and 371mm long, it really is a shame that it doesn't support 280 radiators.

I think they do send an email when they ship yes. I haven't received it yet personally.

This looks really good, what's the height of the top (GPU) compartment ? Would a 1-slot GPU + slim rad and slim fans fit ?

For watercooling both CPU and GPU I wouldn't go any smaller than a 280mm rad at the very minimum. The 3070 ti TUF doesn't seem to rely much on flow-through cooling, so I think you should be fine with air cooling even in a sandwich-style layout. And for cooling the CPU only, a 240mm rad would be...

For what it's worth, I have a 5600x with a black ridge cooler (and noctua fan) in the Dan A4 and it is throttling. So now I'm looking to get another case. I think it would be the same in the zs A4. I would advise to go slightly larger to accommodate better CPU cooling. The following cases are...

That is what I meant, yea. An easy-ish install with a 280 in the reference vs a hardcore one with a 240 and a 280 (or 240 if space is lacking) in the sandwich.

Right, but you lose the top rad. Hmm it's hard to decide between the two.

Also, same question for the reference T1, is a side mounted 240 slim rad doable ?
