I’ll be building a new rig and I have ordered ASUS Maximus V Extreme. As we know it’s a beast I want to know which case will be the best choice for it. I have gone through some mid towers but I am not sure if it will fit in there. So if anyone is using ASUS Maximus V Extreme here then please suggest me some good cases so that I can shortlist the best one, thanks in advance.
I’ll suggest you to get “COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Advanced RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case”. ASUS Maximus V Extreme will surely fit in it without any issues.
Key specs:
Steel ATX Full Tower
USB 3.0, IEEE 1394. E-SATA, USB 2.0
3 x 230mm fans, 1 x 140mm rear fan
Get “COOLER MASTER HAF XM RC-922XM-KKN1”. One of my friends is having ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z in it. ASUS Maximus V Extreme and ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z have the same size so I don’t think you’ll face any issue in installing your Maximus V Extreme. Its key specs are as followed:
Mesh, Plastic, Steel ATX Mid Tower
USB 3.0 x 2 (int.)
USB 2.0 x 2
Audio In & Out x 1(supports HD Audio) Front Ports
3 External 5.25" Drive Bays
6 Internal 3.5" Drive Bays
You can check out these ones as well, ASUS Maximus V Extreme will fit in them easily.
- COOLER MASTER CM Storm Series Trooper (SGC-5000-KKN1)
- AZZA Armour 203 CSAZ-203 Black SECC ATX Mid Tower
Even though AZZA Armour 203 CSAZ-203 is a Mid Tower, many people have installed ASUS Maximus V Extreme and Maximus IV Extreme-Z in it and haven’t complained about any issue.
Yes ASUS Maximus V Extreme fits in some Mid Tower cases. “NZXT Guardian Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Case 921RB-BL” is one of them. It will cost you around $70 and I think that it’s the cheapest case that you can get for Maximus V Extreme.
If you don’t mind spending $120 then I will suggest you to get “NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case “I really wont suggest you to go for a mid tower case. There are some people who have installed it in some mid tower cases bust most of the people were complaining about the same.
