Hi there

I need advice on a case that will hold 3 or ideally 4 x HD7950 Graphics Cards. I want a case that will hold the cards without needing to modify the case or have to mount cards on top of the case. The cards all need to be held inside with enough space to fit them inside.

I have built a few rigs using Coolmaster XB HAF cases but can only fit 2 x HD7950 cards inside safely due to the space.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any case with 8 slots will do it.

I have a Define XL R2 which has enough slots.  I run an Asus P8B WS board which has 4 16x slots with the proper spacing to take 4x 7950 cards.  I only run two 7950 cards at the moment in it, with a i3-3225 CPU (using the HD4000 video for desktop work).

Nice Thank you. Im migrating 2 rigs with 2 x HD7950 cards into a single rig. This case looks like it will allow me to do the job :-)

Open Air Cases are good but I found this doesnt help with cooling. In fact the cards run quite hot.

What are your recommendations for cooling.

2 or 3 large PC fans attached on top of the cards to push air between each card perhaps?  How hot are your cards running?
