    Install and Conclusion

    Installation

    In an attempt to provide a bit of scale we installed the Gigabyte X99 SOC Force to check motherboard alignment and see what kind of cooling clearances we have to work with.  The Gigabyte X99 SOC Force installed we have plenty of room surrounding the motherboard to route cables and a good amount of space at the top of the case for additional fans and radiator.

    The Gigabyte X99 SOC Force is pretty representative of the E-ATX form factor with a measurement of about 12” x 10.5” (30.5cm x 26.4cm) and it fits with plenty of room to spare.  Motherboards using the full E-ATX length of 13” will simply cover the lower grommets.

    Our bench Noctua NH-D9L 92mm D-Type Heatsink is actually very compact with the overall height at around 110mm or, 4.25 inches.   When placed in the707 it looks pretty small!

    As you can see here option to add a 8.11” (206mm) heatsink should give plenty of options when it comes time to choose your heatsink.

    Conclusion

    Lately In Win has given us a lot to be excited about with the 901 Mini-ITX and the incredible S-Frame designs.  The 707 Gaming Edition may not be as fancy as some of the limited edition models we have seen but it doesn’t have to be.  Instead the 707 Gaming Edition gives us everything we have come to expect in a proper full tower design and ups the ante with a huge focus on aftermarket cooling options.  And it does all of this while staying solidly in the price point you would expect to find a generic tower in.

    Dynamite cooling and great modding potential in a stylish full tower design.  That’s something we can get behind.  You may not always need a full tower but if you do you owe it to yourself to look at the 707 Gaming Edition.
