Planning a new build around an RTX 5070 Ti, and I'm struggling to find a case with proper airflow for this hot GPU. I prefer mid-tower designs with good cable management. My concerns are maintaining proper GPU temperatures while keeping noise levels reasonable. I've looked at Fractal, Lian Li, and Corsair options but can't decide. Any recommendations from actual RTX 5070 Ti owners?
Honestly, I saw this earlier but I was busy dealing with my cousin who decided to build a rig in an old wooden cabinet he found at a garage sale. He swore it was a good idea, but two days later he had a loose cable get caught in a fan and the whole thing smelled like burnt toast for an hour. It was a complete disaster and he lost half his data before he even figured out why the system kept shutting down. You really might want to consider the long term reliability of your build before you drop that much cash. I would suggest being careful with how much you spend on the chassis itself. People obsess over these cases but it is usually the power delivery or the mounting that ends up causing headaches down the line. I really dont think spending extra money on a fancy case is the priority right now, just make sure you check your connections twice before you hit that power button. You wont regret being extra cautious.
The RTX 5070 Ti can run warm. Several users report success with the Antec C5 ARGB, known for good airflow.
