It's worth noting that recently, XFX has introduced a new model of the 7950 that is only 9.3" long. They introduced the 9.3" 7970 a few months ago.

The Node 304 would be excellent. You can keep your RAM, CPU, GPU, hard drive, and SSD, and heatsink. The motherboard and power supply would have to be replaced. The heat should be fine since you are still using the Phanteks, and the GPU is right next to a mesh panel, so it might be a bit loud...
Well you obviously can't go ITX because you have two graphics cards, so mATX is the smallest possible form factor. But even if the 7970's can fit, they will need good cooling...have you considered building a custom liquid cooling loop?
Silverstone's TJ08 is an excellent mATX case, btw.
Since you have that Asrock mobo, the cooler could only push up onto those cables; the RAM is further back.
But if you like the look then that's fine with me :cool:
Why don't you try to fit the entire H80i inside the case? Elsewhere on this forum I found a picture of someone fitting an H80 (not H80i, but the two models have the same radiator and fan depths, so it shouldn't matter much)

I'm pretty sure all graphics cards with 2 fans or more blow air onto the GPU. (Sucks it in from surroundings, pushes it on PCB, hot air just disperses everywhere)
Yes, here is the diagram:
So if you want good GPU airflow, you put in fans on the bottom (or you could just leave it empty and hope the vents can do their job)
True, 700 series is looking pretty attractive...I was thinking of doing bitcoin mining, but I guess that was a stupid idea anyways because those things are so hard to mine now :(
Are you sure that the 7950 Twin Frozr won't fit, though? I read that 262mm was the max length, and the card is 261mm.
If you really want that H100i, there really aren't that many other SFF choices. (Ncase is very expensive)
But meanwhile, the mATX TJ08 is widely known to be one of the best air cooling cases around, and it's actually smaller than the Prodigy. You could fit in a NH-D14 or PH-TC14PE (assuming...
I'm planning an ITX build and I want to use an AMD card because the Never Settle Reloaded makes it a great deal and because I really want the compute performance GCN gives. I know that there are 7870s that fit, like this, but with my budget, it would be better if I could put in a 7950. This...
Actually, the SG08 and the SG09 are completely different. The SG09 can fit standard ATX PSUs and might be able to fit the H90 (I always thought it had 120mm and 180mm fans only, but I don't remember that well) while the SG08 cannot fit ATX PSUs or the H90. The only fan slot the SG08 has is a...
Synomenon, does the bracket cover that comes with the SG05 work?
Also, is it dangerous to leave SSDs with basically no airflow? I know that they run a lot cooler than a normal hard drive, but I'm still worried about the long-term effects of that.
Hi, I'm planning a build with the SG05 and I want to use an H80i, oriented vertically so that the slim drive and the 2.5" bay will be removed, but leaving space for a long graphics card. Where is the best place to put the SSD in such a configuration, since the 2.5" is removed? I have seen...
