Do you need components to assemble the Corsair Carbide 175R case within a 2k EUR budget?
Do you need components to assemble the Corsair Carbide 175R case within a 2k EUR budget?
Could you confirm if you're open to an upgrade based on your existing mobile version?
Not really. My existing motherboard isn't compatible with the latest Intel CPUs, and they're introducing a new socket that requires costly upgrades. Nvidias DLSS 3.5 is quite similar to AMD's FSR3, though FSR3 might be preferable if you don't need 4K ray tracing. AMD hasn't released new sockets recently either, so I wouldn't have to replace my motherboard every time I upgrade.
The case that comes up when searching seems to have a solid front panel and the front is the only place a radiator of 280mm/360mm can fit. This is a rather bad idea in pretty much every way. As it is with an air cooler it's not much better because you're still getting poor air intake and trying to cool ~400W. It'll likely work, but the temperatures will be poor.
This might be the reason
@Lutfij
proposed this option, since it would fit on the ceiling of the case.
My current PC has never experienced issues with temperatures. The CPU and GPU under load never exceeded 70-80℃ maximum. Would this configuration really lead to temperature problems?
This model is a 280mm AIO and won't fit in the top compartment, which is why I brought it up.
Your existing PC is handling about 200W during gaming, effectively doubling its power usage.
Consider another option that could sustain a 5+ year lifespan and suit cooling needs for power-hungry systems, especially if you plan to upgrade your PC later. From this site, there are three choices. Which one aligns better with your build and future upgrades?
Almost any device with strong airflow will work well. My Corsair 5000D Airflow is performing very well, and the 4000D also does a good job. The NZXT H6 Flow stands out for its excellent airflow and unique design. Lian-li's LANCOOL III and 216 come ready to use, and the O11 Dynamic Evo offers solid customization options. All three cases you mentioned will significantly boost airflow compared to what you currently have.
Have a refined preference for style.
Consider adding this fan to the rear of the case for an exhaust solution.

I was considering putting money into a case that wouldn't require much change, but yours looks more affordable and still performs well. Thanks.
The build would then resemble this:

Could I replace the
Livemixer
motherboard with
this one? They appear to be similar, just 100€ cheaper.
