From the community comes a conversion (“case mod”) of a very generously dimensioned case of the Cooler Master ATCS 840 type, which goes its own way in terms of layout and optics. With the aim of combining a subtle appearance without “gimmicks” with a high airflow, this project was created.
Potent hardware in a spacious tailor-made suit
In his detailed reader article [conversion] Coolermaster ATCS 840 rethought, community member “the uncensored” takes the ComputerBase reader on an illustrated journey to (s) a tailor-made housing in which the following hardware should find a new home :
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (test)
- Asus ROG Strix B550-E Gaming
- XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Merc 319 (test)
- 32 GB G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200
- 2 TB M.2 SSD PCIe 4.0
In the lid of the spacious Big Tower, an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 with a total of three Arctic P12 PWM fans takes care of the optimal operating temperature of the fast octa-core CPU based on Zen 3.
