What is the best PC case for the RTX 5080?

Planning to add the RTX 5080 to your current or new configuration? Even though it's not as big as people thought, airflow must be considered.

So let's take a look at a few options that would perfectly pair with the RTX 5080, or indeed any of the new 50-Series cards.

For those wanting to build their first configuration or to simplify their installation, the FRAME 4000D is probably the best option.

However, you will need to add extra fans as this case is available in two versions, fanless or with 3x RS120 ARGB 120mm fans.

You'll want to choose the LX RGB or RX range, where the iCUE LINK system makes installation even easier. For more detail, read our main article on the 4000D FRAME

Cooling is not left out either, with a standard 3D Y-pattern airflow panel for minimal air restriction, support for two 360mm radiators and the option to install up to 12x 120mm fans.

The case also includes a GPU Anti-Sag Stabilisation Arm to keep your GeForce RTX 5080 perfectly stable despite its size and weight.

For those who prefer an aquarium aesthetic, the iCUE LINK 6500X case is the ideal companion for your RTX 5080. It supports graphics cards up to 400mm and you can install up to 3x 360mm radiators without interfering with your graphics card.

Of course, it supports BTF/Project Zero standards, so you can connect to the motherboard from the rear to keep your build as tidy as possible.

Its dual-chamber design also optimises airflow inside your case, keeping your components cool.

Do you dream of a configuration with custom dual-loop water cooling, or of having two PCs in the same case? The 9000D RGB AIRFLOW is the answer to your wildest dreams, it's capable of supporting an ITX motherboard and a motherboard up to EATX format without limiting its cooling capacity.

The case can accommodate up to 21x 120mm fans (eight in the top, eight in the front, three over the EATX motherboard, and two on the rear).

You can install up to 2x 480mm radiators, 2x 360mm radiators and 1x 240mm radiator, enough to cool even the most extreme configurations.

There's also plenty of space for storage, with the option to install up to 5x 3.5" and 6x 2.5" hard drives.
