Anyone with a R9 280X?, what are your temps with this case?

Ive got the asus model and all the fans I can fit in the case and in game temps on graphically intense games (say tomb raider or aliens isolation) are usually around 45-50 C

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

I don't know about the size of an R9 280X, but I have a gtx670 ftw and it fits well. I can't say I would feel comfortable fitting two of them in there. Hope this helps.

My case has 4 fans and this card is running fine in it w/o water cooling. It does run hot 95C when MAXED on a bench test with Furmark.

Due to my setup there really is no stagnate, hot air sticking around my case...all the hot air goes directly out the back. I do know that since using this card, my computer IS a LOT quieter and IS cooler based on temp reading since I placed it in my case.

Don't waste money on the 270x it runs too hot. Then the 280x is still not worth it. I've had both. Nvidias 970 destroys them and the 290x

I run BF4 and have no reason for additional cooling. I would recommend a case with a 120mm intake on the side, mine has two that sit coincidentally right below the gpu, so my 660 stays around 50 degrees C, rarely gets over 65 C. Its a good card. My second is on the way so I can SLI.

I am gaming on the board with a intel 4790 and a GTX 970. I do have an aftermarket cooler (air) on the cpu but honestly probably don't need it. Highest temp in stress testing was 48c. you should be fine with stock heat sink.

My build used a 65w AMD APU with a Noctua NH-U14S (one fan configuration), with a Corsair RM450 PSU (runs fanless under 40% load). I also swapped the case fans out for a Prolimatech PRO-BV14 and a CoolerMaster MegaFlow 200 in the front which were both mounted with rubber fan mounts. I dont use the mesh grill, and all heat goes out the back. I dont have a Graphics Card or an Optical drive, which are the two biggest producers of sound in most of my PCs, but from one foot away it is DEAD Silent. My loads max out at 100-125w, so theres not alot of need for air movement, but if you're looking for a quiet light-duty gaming machine or a silent HTPC (mine is both), then I recommend this case.

In my experience AMDs run hotter. I had an aftermarket fan with a nice solid heatsink and larger fan that I used as the stock fan heat sink seemed a bit thin. I can't say it wouldn't be good enough my last 2 AMD cpus I used the stock fans and never had an issue.

Yes, I have 2 R9 280X cards in crossfire and they fit, there is a little gap in between but as you know most Nvidia cards heat less than radeon cards.

I own this case and have also owned many cases with and without mesh/glass/tons-of-air-holes. This case will let more fan noise out but it really isn't that bad. I run 3 graphics cards inside my case (2 in a Sli, one for more monitors). If you can handle the subtle hum of fans then you'll be okay. A case without the mesh and is of solid material or some type of glass on the side will reduce the fan noise you hear. There are also many ways to reduce the fan speed on your video card when it is under heavy load, but you sacrifice its cooling. I'd also like to continue saying that I really like this case! If you have any more questions about this case I'll do my best to answer and I'll reply asap!

I actually had mine in a pretty small, mini-itx build. It stayed reasonably cool during most day-to-day operations with the stock fan, between 35C and 50C--and that's without any other case fans. As long as you aren't doing anything too CPU-intensive, I'd consider the stock fan pretty adequate. Good luck with you build

I didn't have any high temps, but I only ran it stock long enough to verify it works. I basically always replace stock sink and TIM. If you're intending on using this for pretty demanding stuff (gaming, photo/video editing, 3D modeling and render, etc.) I'd recommend replacing TIM and sink.

I use a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. If you don't plan on doing extreme overclocking, I think it will serve you well. I run the cpu at stock settings, and the core temperatures at maximum load are roughly 50-55 C. No need to go overboard on cooling unless you plan to overclock.

The R9 280X will pull around 225 Watts at full blast. You should be ok with the rest of your hardware and a 750 Watt power supply.

I have the reference card model wit the stock cooler. My ambiant temp is 30C while the card temp is on 40C on zero load with the fan speed on 26%. Opening a demanding game quickly torches up the temp to 90C, which the temperature limit I set for GPU Boost 2.0 using MSI Afterburner.
