The TJ-08 is less than 16" deep so no trouble there- that case is crazy big inside... you may even be able to stuff a Noctua NH-D14 in it (check w/Silverstone first though)

that cooler is massive, I'd rather not, I had bad experiences working with large coolers like the zalman CPNS9900LED my hands were bleeding

Well the the Xig Gaia is a lot smaller and kept my system cool and quiet. The mounting system is very solid and cost is only about $30 in the US.... most towers in that size class should work fine but I would need to know what kind of hardware you were planning to use to say for sure.

It looks like just about any tower cooler that takes a 120 mm fan (or 2) will keep that setup cool and quiet depending on fan choice/fan settings

FYI- this is my next cooler

I'm having a really hard time deciding between the 2 silverstone ones, I like the look of the TJ08E but the other one has 2x 120mm fans in the front I can replace with quieter ones. Also it costs about $20-30 less.

washd123 · May 6, 2012, 08:17 AM

looks like it won't fit my gpu or most gpus. I'm pretty settled on the silverstone, they're the same inside but different outside and different prices

180mm fan is already quiet

The $30 you saved will be spent on the fan swap, so either way it seems they are similar in price to get it the way you want it.

washd123 · May 6, 2012, 05:49 PM

didn't think about that, do you think the 180mm would be as quiet as 2 120mm 800RPM fans? each one has a decibel rating of 10dB, while the 180mm is rated from 17-30dB

The 120's in the PS-07 are pretty quiet. I could only hear them when the front door was open and even then just barely. I have 180's in my FT-01 Fortress and they are silent at 600 rpm

that Bitfenix case looks awesome!

I know pretty quiet, I mean my p180-mini is pretty quiet I want silent. Which is why I figured I'd switch them out

With the 120mm's in the PS-07 you can always swap them out or slow them down a bit if you don't think they are quiet enough. The 180mm in TJ-08 is silent but your options for using something else is near zero as those fans are only made by silverstone....

hm, so even though the TJ08e looks better the ps-07 is probably the better choice since it's cheaper and the fans can be swapped

washd123 · May 12, 2012, 04:33 AM

I finally got the TJ08e, I also put in a corsair H60 cooler since it's easier to build with, I replaced the stock corsair fan with a 800rpm slipstream from scythe. I'm adding a second fan soon.

The build is silent the only noise generates from my psu and gpu, well and the hdd's. Overall silent though. It's also running cool I may overclock

Thank you for all the help
