We have tried to use this case in a server rack style allotment and didn't really stand up to what it needed to do so we went with a custom design. But as to why we disliked it, the case as a whole doesn't seem to like letting cool air in or hot air out. No flow through the chassis on a consistent basis. This may be in part due to the foam in the front cover that folds down. It's better for airflow down but still not as efficient as I would like and also with the foam folded down, dust and another sediment can flow into your chassis with open cases. In addition, the crossbars will limit your use of GPU's to an extent but that won't be too much of an issue for many people.

My temps have been pretty good with founders edition cards so far:


I can see why you need three more 1080 ti FE's Smiley

I have two blower style PNY I can part with if you are interested.

Originally I was planning on stuffing my Rosewill case with 1080ti's, but instead will go the opposite way. 8x 1050ti need to go somewhere, so I will house them there.

That's interesting. I recently switch to a Rosewill server case and after all my modifications were said and done, I actually saw temperatures drop compared to my homemade open air frame. I did take the foam front off. I reversed all the fans and am using blower style cards. Air comes in the back and out the front. It's been working really well for me.

I like these custom 2nd psu mounts. I may have to try that. I have one PSU in the case and one that just sits on top - outside of the case.

I sourced a 4u server case with the same dimensions from Craigslist for dirt cheap and with some time and DIY I was able to get a total of 9 GTX 1060 cards in the case running stable at 22.8 MH/s @ 85w and staying at 70C each with the kid sealed..
I can get 8 of the 9 cards to run at 65C but card number 5 won't go below 68C, I'm pretty sure it's due to the spacing of my fans as it is the card with the fan against the side of the case.


Here is a video.

Very clever work.  I was impressed by your support bracket for the 2nd HP PSU and the PCIe expansion board which makes up for the blocked slot.  The one problem that I see is that bigger cards would push too far back to allow for the same orientation of the HP PSU.  But with smaller cards that's a nice setup.

What did you make the fan brackets out of?  I don't recognize what you are using and was wondering whether it's custom, or repurposed from something else.

I would try Delta fans if that is not what is shown in the video.

Could you get 8 1060 cards in one of these cases?

I'm going to guess no one knows if 8 gtx 1060's fit!

There is one review of the new case on Newegg entitled "Hope you own a drill" hahahaha


Pros: Keeps things organized. Hot and crowded, but organized...
Internal obstructions mount with screws, so they are not
terribly difficult to relocate.

Cons: Does not "Supports 7 expansion slots" as claimed. Supports exactly Zero slots!
Even with five modest GPUs and solid wall of serious fans down the middle,
there isn't nearly enough flow to keep this thing alive with the lid on. If you
have reference blower cards, they are pointing toward the intake filter...

Other Thoughts: The motherboard tray can be turned around and still get two screws into the chassis,
and this gives you the option to install cards, and maybe snake some cables out the
ATX opening in back... Better would be to use a drill and move the motherboard tray
forward enough to allow cards and cables.

Three 140mm fans easily strap to the 80mm wall. But is still not enough. I think this
might be fixable with high CFM Deltas, or just keep the lid off and use a 20" box fan.

The cards are too close to the front to use the 120mm mounting locations, and a
drill again appears the only solution to make adequate space. Especially if you are
thinking about a radiator for a hybrid GPU. I think the fan wall would also do more
to help and less in the way if it were up front, GPUs pushed toward motherboard.
This is also your opportunity to turn the GPUs around so blowers face the back.

Since five cards can't be kept cool. I don't see any advantage for mounting eight.
4000B chassis will mount only six, but with regular slots in back you might fit
another GPU or two directly in the motherboard. I would prefer to have ordered
4000B than this 4000C. Lesson learned...

Correct solution is an open rig with a box fan. Putting this many GPUs is a sealed
coffin gives exactly the result you would expect. Pay money, take your chances.
I have build photos, but don't see any way to attach them...

For anyone who was thinking about buying one of these, Rosewill has released a new revision RSV-L4000C that now has a redesigned rear window that has the PCIe slots removed and extra fan holes in its place as well as the chassis now has (3) 120mm fan placements in the front. Makes it a whole lot easier. I just received mine today and have a little work to do shoehorning my 1080 TI's in there.

Unfortunately this chassis still only supports 1 power supply which still boggles my mind.

I wish they had done 3 x 120mm in the middle and the back as well Sad
And set the GPU support bracket so you could run it in the front or middle so you could use blower cards either direction.

One PSU will support 7-8 GPU's as long as they aren't 1080 ti's or Vega.

I'm working on getting a 2400w server PSU running in mine for an 8 x 1080 ti build that I'm hoping to finish and post up about soon Cheesy


The IBM 2K power supply will fit pretty nicely in one of these even when flipped on its side, which the Delta 2.4K won't do.

You can find very nice break out boards for the IBM 2K sold by users on Bitcointalk.

nice catch. but for some reason that case is 50-80$ more expensive than the L4000B ;/

Wondering  Guys what is the best fans for this case
any suggestion   Huh

Noctua industrial 3k rpm


I like the Delta AFB1212GHE-CF00 as it is ridiculous and pushes 240+ cfm Cheesy
Although I don't have them side by side, I believe it pushes a lot more air than the Noctua.

I really wish I would have done all my rigs in these cases. My concern about temps seems to be overblown.

The reduction in clutter = potential reduction in nagging from the wife makes this very tempting.



You had better have small cards such as 1060, 1070, RX 470, RX 480, RX 570, RX 580.

But yes, nagging does drive one to do many things one would not otherwise consider.

Depends on what you want Cheesy You want alot of air flow? Do you want it to be quiet etc?

i don't care about the sound  just want best air cool for my GPUs :- Grin
