With the RTX 4080 SUPER being one of the biggest graphics cards on the market, finding a case that can accommodate it can seem like a major stumbling block when building a gaming PC. However, there are a number of chassis that can support this graphics cards.
But which PC case should you consider for a RTX 4080 SUPER PC build? Here are our top picks for PC cases that can be used alongside the RTX 4080 SUPER, taking a range of budgets and form factors into consideration.
Our Top Pick: DeepCool Morpheus
Out of all the PC cases we tested alongside the RTX 4080 SUPER, DeepCool’s Morpheus is the design which stood out the most. The focus on modularity and support for components means that PC builders have complete freedom to configure their system in a way that best suits the parts included. On top of this, the integrated display and ventilated panels lead to a modest but effective look.
The Best Cases for RTX 4080 SUPER
1. DeepCool Morpheus
PC cases with an innovative design are few and far between nowadays, but DeepCool’s Morpheus looks to shake things up. With a focus on modularity, this chassis allows builders to completely transform the inside chamber, allowing for complete freedom on how to assemble your system.
This leads to plenty of room to manoeuvre for a wide range of components, including a whopping 480mm of GPU clearance, which is more than enough to house the RTX 4080 SUPER. In addition, the support for 420mm AIO coolers around the chassis and E-ATX motherboards allows for optimal airflow and connectivity.
| Key Specs | DeepCool Morpheus |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | Full-Tower |
| Motherboard Support | ITX, M-ATX, ATX, E-ATX |
| Case Dimensions (H x L X W) | 551mm x 250mm x 528mm |
| Front IO | 1 x USB 3.2 Type-C 4 x USB 3.0 1x 3.5mm Combo Jack |
| PCI-E Slots | 4 |
| Max. Clearance | 195mm Cooler Height 480mm GPU Length 180mm PSU Length |
| Drive Support | Up to 3 x 2.5 inch Up to 2 x 3.5 inch |
| Fan Support | Front: 3 x 140mm Side: 3 x 140mm Top: 3 x 140mm Rear: 1 x 140mm Bottom: 3 x 140mm |
| Radiator Support | Front: 420mm Side: 420mm Top: 420mm Rear: 140mm Bottom: 420mm |
| Preinstalled Fans | 1 x 420mm |
| MSRP | $149.99 |
But the focus on adaptability leads to a large design that is lacking in the aesthetics department. The boxed shape and larger frame means that anyone looking to take advantage of the Morpheus will need plenty of desk space within their setup, and not be too fussy about appearances.
That being said, the integrated display and rubber square bits to customise the ventilated panels add some flair to the primarily functional design.
Pros
- MSRP price tag
- Relatively compact size
- Dual chamber cooler
Cons
- Narrow availability
- Slightly boring design
2. Lian Li O11 Vision
Lian Li’s O11 Vision has been a favourite in the office for quite some time, as the striking ‘fish-tank’ design allows you to display your components in a luxurious manner. This also helps with the building process, as the large chamber makes it easier to put components into place.
To help simplify the building process further, the modular design allows for quick and tool-less removal of panels, leaving an exposed frame to build upon. This also leads to plenty of support for the latest parts, including 455mm of GPU clearance, which is more than enough to accommodate for the RTX 4080 SUPER.
| Key Specs | Lian Li 011 Vision |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | Mid-Tower |
| Motherboard Support | ITX, M-ATX, ATX, E-ATX |
| Front IO | 1 x USB 3.2 Type-C 2 x USB 3.0 Type A 3.5mm Combo Jack |
| Max. Clearance | 167mm Cooler Height 455mm GPU Length 220mm PSU Length |
| Drive Support | Up to 3 x 2.5 inch Up to 2 x 3.5 inch |
| Fan Support | Side: 3 x 120mm Rear: 2 x 120mm Bottom: 3 x 140mm |
| Radiator Support | Side: 360mm Bottom: 360mm Rear: 120mm |
| Preinstalled Fans | N/A |
In terms of cooling, the O11 Vision supports up to eight 120mm fans, with support for 360mm CPU coolers on the side and bottom. However, the seamless glass panels on this design can interfere with ventilation, and the lack of pre-installed fans means you’ll have to pay more to optimise airflow.
Pros
- Component space
- Modularity
- Aesthetics
Cons
- Weaker ventilation
- No pre-installed fans
3. HYTE Y70 Touch
When looking for an extravagant chassis to show off your build in style, there aren’t many cases that can compete with the HYTE Y70 Touch. This case is built with gaming and tech enthusiasts in mind, as the integrated 14″ 4K touchscreen adds another layer of wonder to your gaming PC.
Whilst it may come across as nothing but a gimmick, the screen can act as a desktop extension for easy access to files and applications while gaming. Alternatively, you can use the HYTE Nexus software to develop a home screen full of widgets, in a similar fashion to what you’d find on a smartphone.
| Key Specs | HYTE Y70 Touch |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | Mid-Tower |
| Motherboard Support | ITX, M-ATX, ATX, E-ATX |
| Front IO | 1 x USB 3.2 Type-C 2 x USB 3.2 Type A 3.5mm Combo Jack |
| Max. Clearance | 180mm Cooler Height 422mm GPU Length 190mm PSU Length |
| Drive Support | Up to 4 x 2.5 inch Up to 2 x 3.5 inch |
| Fan Support | Side: 3 x 120mm Top: 3 x 120mm Rear: 1 x 120mm Bottom: 3 x 120mm |
| Radiator Support | Side: 360mm Top: 360mm Rear: 120mm |
| Preinstalled Fans | N/A |
In terms of the design, the HYTE Y70 Touch takes a lot of inspiration from the HYTE Y60, which is one of the best cases on the market. The only major difference, apart from the touchscreen, is the expanded chamber to accommodate it, which subsequently leads to more clearance for GPUs such as the RTX 4080 SUPER.
The biggest downside to this chassis is the ludicrous price tag, which puts the Y70 Touch amongst the most expensive cases available. As a result, this case is reserved for PC builders with plenty of funds to spare.
Pros
- Innovative design
- Integrated display
- Great for enthusiasts
Cons
- Expensive
- Similar to Y60
- Restricted capacity
4. Thermaltake The Tower 300
If you want minimise the amount of desk space you PC build takes up, then Thermaltake’s The Tower 300 is a great option. This mini-tower design provides support for a myriad of components while confining the footprint to a small octagonal base.
This case is slightly larger than most mini-tower designs, which allows it to house premium components such as the RTX 4080 SUPER with ease. Along with 400mm of GPU clearance, The Tower 300 can also support E-ATX motherboards and 420mm AIO coolers, allowing you to maximise airflow and connectivity.
| Key Specs | Thermaltake The Tower 300 |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | Mini-Tower |
| Motherboard Support | ITX, M-ATX, ATX, E-ATX |
| Front IO | 1 x USB 3.2 Type-C 2 x USB 3.0 Type A 3.5mm Combo Jack |
| Max. Clearance | 210mm Cooler Height 400mm GPU Length 220mm PSU Length |
| Drive Support | Up to 3 x 2.5 inch Up to 3 x 3.5 inch |
| Fan Support | Side: 3 x 120mm Top: 2 x 120mm Rear: 2 x 120mm Bottom: 1 x 120mm |
| Radiator Support | Side: 420mm |
| Preinstalled Fans | N/A |
Plus, if the vertical tower layout isn’t to your liking, then the optional chassis stand kit can be used to flip this case horizontally. This leads to an aesthetic that makes the case look as if it is floating, which is bound to add some wow-factor to your desk setup.
The only limitation with a mini-tower design like The Tower 300 is the difficulties when it comes to building. More specifically, the limited room for manoeuvrability and dedicated radiator slot makes this chassis less adaptable, making it less than ideal for novice builders.
Pros
- Component space
- Compact design
- Display stand
Cons
- Installation process
- No pre-installed fans
