hello GS. I'm currently saving up somemoney to upgrade or replace some things for my WC setup. now my only thing is i'm stuck between the Haf X or the Corsair 800D. Any suggestions would be nice. I do have a 932 but i want to save it for my second build, which will be my secondary pc if this one is ever down. Any suggestions would be nice and if anyone has any WC setups let me know if you have either case and what you think about it.

Dont waste your money on the Corsair 800D its cooling isnt even close to any of the HAF series.

it's actually a lot better if you use it as intended. which is water cooling.

but if you're going air just get a HAF or a FT02/Raven

ahhh you answered my thought as i was thinking it lol. I honestly like both of them but being i had my haf 932 for some time now, and i know the Haf X is a bit bigger but i want to try out a new case...so thats why i was thinking of the corsair 800D also. I just hope cable management is good on the 800D.

From my experience with cases the Corsair should be a much better case, The Haf X may be the better choice if temp with the stock fans are the only thing on your mind, in my opinion the Corsair is better in any other aspect. I'd take the 800D every day of the week over the Haf X.

You still can't beat the Silverstone Temjin TJ-07 for liquid cooling.

This. If you're looking for a water cooling case, look no further than the TJ07. Although Xigmatek just released a case that can potentially compete with the TJ07. It's the Elysium.

way ahead of you on that case its very nice and has alot of room especially for watercooling but it just didn't like the design on it compared to the Haf X/800D.
