Thermaltake View 31 RGB Dual Tempered Glass SPCC ATX Mid Tower Tt LCS Certified Gaming Computer Case with 3 RGB LED Ring Fan Pre-installed CA-1H8-00M1WN-01

Case must support a 360 radiator (preferable in front behind the 3 intake fans) I know this case only has 2.

Case must have good airflow because this I will be putting in 1 or possible 2 1080 ti's.

GPU's will only be air cooled so....

I'm thinking of removing the rear fan.... And putting that in the front of the case (if it's the same size)

I'm also looking to get 3 more really good quiet fans. Maybe two on the top and one back on the rear. They don't need to be RGB, as well, I guess the case only comes with 1 controller and only 3 fans that is kinda funny. I guess, TT wants you to invest in 3 more fans and another controller for 90 bucks making the case 200 dollars. Seems kinda expensive to me....... But I guess if you want a million colors in your case from fans you gotta step up. Tho, I'm not sure TT fans are the best or quiet. So... There is also that.

Maybe a better case...?

I was leaning towards this case because:

1) it has good airflow
2) the size seems pretty hefty for a mid tower (if one wanted to do a custom loop)
3) it looks pretty nice. I like the big glass panels even tho, I don't care about the back side glass as case will probably sit next to a wall.

Thanks for any thoughts and advice.

I picked this case up for a TR build for pretty much the same reasons. The case has come in but not the other parts so I haven’t built with it yet.

My plan is to mount the Enermax Liqtech 360 mm radiator to the top in an exhaust configuration. They should also pu air over the VRM heatsink on the MSI Pro Gaming Carbon mobo. I’m probably going with an RX 56 so it and the rear 140mm fan will also be exhausting.

To balance that out I’ll have the two 140mm intakes on the front and I plan to add 1-2 140mm intakes at the bottom.

I like the looks of the case and all the mounting options for fans/radiators.

Wish you luck on your build.

Thanks for your reply. I was just going to buy the Roswell case.

Then........ I was going to wait...... Because I am remodeling my office in a building I just purchased.... redoing the floors was kinda a nightmare. I still don't have it done but it's getting close! 🙂

Anyway... Turns out that Amazon had a price drop on Thermaltake View 31 for 8X bucks... So, I pulled the trigger...Should get it soon.

So far for new build bought the TR 1950X because it was on sale for 799 and still is and also got the 360 Enermax Liqtech cooler.

I also picked up an 850 Watt PRIME Titanium power supply awhile back for anticipation of this build.

Going to go with a 1080ti card.

Not sure what kinda of MB I am going to go with... I can't buy too many parts... as I live in Hawaii, and shipping sucks for DOA parts, but amazon is good at returning them if done in the 30 day return window. So don't want to get too ahead of myself, so far, I'm shooting for a late december build! 🙂


I heard that mounting the radiator on the side behind the intake fans is the best for cooling... But maybe try both ways... I thought that I would also mount mine on the top, but, after watching this video and ... the REASON why I was interested in view 31 in the first place was because of this video. Try mounting in both positions and see what works best for you!

Good Luck for your build as well!
