Question 1

Will the MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card fit??

Form Factor & Dimensions

Form Factor: ATX

Card Dimensions (L x H): 10.51" x 5.47"

Accepted Answer

Yes, a MSI GTX 960 will easily fit in this case.  I have a MSI GTX 970 and Freezer A30 inside mine.

Question 2

Does it come with a power supply?

Accepted Answer

no it does not come with a power supply

Question 3

Is it possible to get blue led fans in the black on black case instead of the red?

Accepted Answer

I don't . My build is for a customer and she wants blue led fans , her favorite color is blue.

Question 4

Is 6 fans too many for this case, in terms of airflow? I planned on using 3 intake fans(front/bottom) running higher cfm(at 173.7 cfm in) than the 3 exhaust fans(top/rear) (at 141 cfm out). Will this cause "turbulence" or disrupt the airflow by using too many fans or by having too much airflow? I am running a single GPU, want my case to be as cool as possible without disrupting airflow and causing a reverse effect.

Accepted Answer

6 fans will be fine for this case as long as you make sure the airflow keeps an in/out flow pattern.  Thus you don't want to have fans competing against each other for air current.  This complies with the basic principle of heat dissipation.  As you know heat rises; be sure if you have 1 particular fan as an intake that you don't have another fan blowing air against it unless they are both either pushing or pulling in the same direction.  I'm using the 3 fans that came stock with this case as well as a 140mm fan mounted on the top as an additional exhaust output as I have a large CPU cooler and a twin fan style GTX 970 that heats up the case since it's not a blower style.  Hope this helps, good luck.

Question 5

Can someone specify what ODD work with this case?

Accepted Answer

Any regular half-height (41mm) ODD will work in this case.  There is nothing to limit to the length of the drive either.  Personally, I have a pair of Lite-On BD-R's (iHES112).  One comment I can make is that the ODD will aid in locking the front case panel to the chassis, meaning if you wanted to remove the front panel for cleaning, maintenance, etc, you will have to remove the ODD drives as well.

Question 6

Will it fit the H100i above the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 in this case?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm. Good question. To be honest, there is a 80% certainty that it wont. An H100i definitely wouldn't fit with my MSI Z87 GD65, the heatsinks are far too big.  But the ASUS M5A97 does not have those large heat sinks. It would be a close call, I personally wouldn't take the risk.  The case is a decent size, its still just not large enough.  If you are going to put in a CD/DVD drive, that could also get in the way. And the RAM too, there is simply not enough clearance.  The more I think about, the more parted I become.  I would say, if you dont have large mobo heatsinks and no DVD/CD drive, then you have a possibility.  Hope I answered your question. ( I personally went with the H75, great watercooler).

TL;DR : Not really.

Question 7

Do all of the fans use their own 3 pin fan headers, or are some of them molex/come w/ a splitter?

Accepted Answer

they all use their own 3pin on the mobo. your best bet is to just get a fan controller if your motherboard only has 4 connectors on it. Just don't get an LED one, they aren't very good quality usually.

Question 8

what is the maximum size of motherboard this case can handle?

Accepted Answer

This case will support all ATX and Micro ATX mobos

Question 9

Will this have enough room for a cooler master hyper 212 evo? (With MSI Z87-45 motherboard)

Accepted Answer

Yes, because I'm using the CM 212 EVO in mine, though with a different motherboard (can't see how that would make much difference - standoffs and mobo thickness and height of the CPU in the slot can't be that variable).

Question 10

Hey, will a Corsair H100i water cooler fit in the case? 
Also, i dont know if this information will help, but im going to have a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard and low profile ram. Thanks for the response :)

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it is not ideal.  There is only enough room for the radiator between the top of the case and the top of the motherboard.  Therefore, the fans will need to be mounted outside the top of the case.  You will not be able to fit 4 fans in push-pull.
