Hi everyone,

I built a pretty messy double AiO config in the 2000D and I am not happy at all. Here are the specs:

  • MSI RTX 4090 Liquid
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • CPU-AiO SilverStone VIDA 240 slim
  • Kingston SKC3000D 2TB
  • MSI B650I EDGE WIFI
  • Replaced all standard fans with noctua NF-A12x15 120mm
  • PSU Corsair SF750
  • Kingston Fury DDR5 2x16GB 6000MT/s 40-40-40 1.35V
The reason why I built this PC were: somewhat portable, quite even under full load, highest possible config to make this PC last quite a few years. I could only fit 3 fans in total in there, which actually does nothing with the CPU/GPU Temps. I dont reach 70° on my CPU/GPU even when playing on max settings.

I am just wondering if there is a case out there, which has a liiiiiittle bit more space and/or arrangement of components. The horizontal motherboard is really bad when it comes to plugging in stuff and WiFi quality. I had to buy an antenna to even reach my max download speed. Modem is in the same room, lol. Here are some photos for you guys, please be gentle with me.


Any advice/recommendations very welcome.

It would be better to try that radiator and fans mounted on to change placement. In that way, you would have 3th fan slot available to mount in. Have you tried that? any difficulties for that option? But probably this is the first time I see Corsair 2000D is used with two AIO at the same time. May be this is the only way to have both together.

With the 7800X3D only churning out up to 88W, you could, in theory, even go with a 120 mm AIO. Or simply aircooled.

So, maybe pick a different case, like the Meshroom S / Meshlicious.

As your GPU is just a dual-slot, you could keep the Meshi in the 3-slot-mode, and use an air cooler like the Thermalright AXP120-x67. That CPU cooler keeps an i5-13500 at full load below 75° C (approx 150W, but can spike up to 224W), so it should be able to easily tame your CPU, too :)

Meshi also weights just 2.7ish kg, and you wont have any issues with the mainboard direction either.
