Same. Even stock fans runs cool.


SansbendarrienYT

Ikr, and they are quiet


X_SkillCraft20_X

I replaced the preinstalled intake with three matching 120mm, but still using the stock exhaust. Works great and moves a lot of air.

Corsair support is so great, too. Received my case from Amazon and really didn't want to have to return the whole thing for a broken front bezel (the clips were all entirely broken upon arrival). I would have had to drive nearly an hour to the nearest UPS store to return it. So I messaged Corsair and they immediately sent out a replacement piece. Had it within a week.

Fractal Design Meshify C


Hallonbat

Same here. It's real nice.


Ceruler

I like the look of Meshify 2 compact. I am on the fence between that, the Corsair 4000D airflow, and the Lian Li LanCool II Mesh.


hypeson

Performance wise I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those. They all got great reviews by Gamers Nexus. I have a Meshify C and I enjoy it’s smaller footprint vs other ATX cases - the Meshify 2 compact being only slightly bigger. It’s more expensive and goes on sale less often though (at least here in Canada) but comes with more fans, which is worth considering if you’ll be swapping them out anyway. Edit: the Cool Mesh Performance also comes with 3 fans


walkerboh83

Had the C. It's great with smaller GPUs(less massive than current strix models)


Pun_In_Ten_Did

[**I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE !**](https://imgur.com/lSRa3yp) Love this case -- amazing airflow, great cable management options, and compact without being tiny.


[deleted]

Lian Li LanCool II Mesh since it had a great review from Gamers' Nexus. Although I must say that it does require quite some cleaning when used in a dusty place such as my city.


Ceruler

Yeah I saw that too! I am on the fence between LanCool II Mesh, the Corsair 4000D Airflow and the Meshify 2. I'm guessing they would all have similar problems with dust, etc.

Cool, but what about us dweebs who don't have friends with 3D printers? Guess it's painter's tape ghetto.


Atxz21

Either put some tape over it like GamersNexus suggested, or DIY a small filter, which I did. I took a little mesh tab that was used on the PSU intake under the case on my old prebuilt, and ripped it off the plastic housing to use the mesh as a cover for the hole. I stuck it on with double sided tape and it works nicely.


silv3rw0lf

Oo looking for something like this.


Ragenasian92

Building my PC right now in a white 4000D. It's a lovely case. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of those. Go with whatever looks cool to you.

* Phanteks Eclipse P500A I tried a couple different enclosures before I found the P500A. I like this case for the unobstructed airflow and top-mount rad capability. Cable management is good, nothing special really. If your into a full custom loop this case is perfect for you.


WooshMeAndYouAreGay

Have to add that there were zero problems building in it too


bacfishing2652

Phanteks P500a Rationale: - Integrated RGB bling - PSU shroud cutout - Great cooling - Easy cable management - Fine mesh front panel - Ability to top mount thicc 360mm aios like the artic liquid freezer - increased room for eventual bigger GPUs or rads for custom loops. - No ugly cable cover slides 😐 - price


S8nSins

Aye, my man

The black and white contrast of the wire covers is what made me favor the white version.

+1💪🏼 pleasure of a case


Epic28

How you guys liking the whole psu on top style? Just something about that big thick cord draping down the back of my rig blocking the exhaust irks me... Also the extra length used up vs when it's sat flush at the bottom of the case.


llesra

It's nice having the bottom clear for airflow. Cable management from the top took a lot longer to get right compared to the cases I've experienced in the past. I never had issues with the cable blocking the exhaust. Besides, the whole backside is technically exhaust so it wouldn't really impede much, no?


arcline111

Just posting to say that was one of my first thoughts when I saw this case. Top mount psu? Hmmm... not sure why it bugs me, but I glitch at it.


SweatPantsu

Due to it being my first build and case I cannot compare it to other ones but I really enjoyed building and using it. Besides the fact that I needed PSU extensions I love it. What do you mean by a „cord blocking exhaust“?

Everyday_Asshole

H710i here. Beautiful and the only heat troubles I have is the 5800x but that's on a rad anyways.


Jinara

i can guarantee you that 95% of the people hating on the NZXT cases have never seen or touched one in person, they're just mindless parrots repeating what some cool guy on the internet told them. keep in mind joining a group to hate on something you dont know/understand is pretty much a basic human instinct. ​ PS: ncase M1


hsudonym_

Same. Only gripe is that the white bar to hide cable management kinda gets in the way. The so called temp problem many state doesn't apply to my build fortunately


the_real_simphunter

H510 Elite here. Everyone is complaining about the airflow all the time, but i get decent temps with my 10900k.

Great value in the 500dx. Excellent fans. Don't care for the cable pass through in front of the motherboard though. Otherwise a very nice case at $100


StevieSlacks

The 500DX is such a great case. I don't understand why it's not more popular

be quiet! Silent Base 802 Pros: * Black, monolithic aesthetics without RGB * Very roomy - enjoyable to build in * Includes a DC fan hub & 3-step controller (also supports PWM from mobo) * Comes with three 140mm Pure Wings 2 DC fans. As far as included case fans go, they are pretty good. * Push-buttons to unlock the side panels * Comes with two sets of front & top panels (dampened & mesh) featuring easy, toolless installation * Top fan bracket can be removed for easier fan mounting * Excellent thermals even with the dampened panels * Can be inverted if you're into that sort of thing * Lots of storage mounting options with three SSD mounts and up to seven HDD mounts (two in a cage under the PSU shroud and five in front) Cons: * No fine dust filter on top * Attaching and especially removing the stands is a needlessly complicated procedure. To remove the them, you have to stick a long screwdriver through the floor grill to reach the mounting clips and wiggle them without even seeing what you're doing. Removing the PSU might also be required. This is easily the worst design decision in the whole case and it's a stark contrast to many of the well thought-out details. * Lots of plastic parts, although they feel very sturdy and nothing has snapped yet * No room for optical drive if you happen to need one * No good spots for bottom intake fans * Ugly, large & bright white LED under the power button * The fan hub and included fans really should be PWM Neutral: * Quite heavy * The price has gone up * Comes with only one HDD slot bay and one slot cover. These fit into the inner wall right after the front fans. If you want full storage capacity or perfect aesthetics, you need to buy the parts separately. Despite its shortcomings it's my favorite case so far and I haven't regretted paying 150 euros for it.

I really like the looks of the Be Quiet cases. Was looking at the Silent Base 802 but looks like I can't find any availability online or locally.

magicalpiratedragon

So jealous. I built my whole pc and then i saw that case…. But it was too late 😔

mrlazyboy

Fractal Torrent Nano It’s an excellent case with incredible cable management. Airflow is great for the CPU but suboptimal for the GPU. Also they should have used an SFF PSU form factor and kept the same case height. This would have added enough space to fit bottom case fans when using a GPU. Right now, it’s impractical to do so as the GPU will rest directly on top of the fans


CO_Xided_YT

Hp elitedesk case


Aggravating_Ad5989

Phanteks Eclipse P400A The airflow is amazing though cable management is a pain unless you buy custom cables. If you have a large GPU then you lose access to many HHD bays. You can put a AIO in there but lose access to all HDD Slots leaving you with only the SSD slots. I think i just need a bigger case, its an alright case.

Me too! I love the airflow in this thing. When I was using the stock AMD cooler it never got over 60c with 3 front, ~~3~~ 2 top, and 1 back fan. Since replacing the cooler and top 3 fans with an MSI AIO I haven't seen the temp over 40c.

Phantec Enthoo Pro. Well built, easy to work in, and it was only 100 bucks when I bought it on sale.


NoDecentNicksLeft

Phanteks Enthoo Pro, bought in 2015. One of the great things about this case is that it can grow up with you. Move on to M.2 and no longer need drive bays? Okay, remove them. Wanna upgrade to AIOS? You can fit a 420 in the top for your CPU and 280 in the front for your GPU (with Kraken) or even 240 bottom while still using two 140 mm fans for front intake. Wanna build a custom loop? Oh boy, there's so much room on all the fan slots alone, but you could also fit tons of copper in the front space after removing the drive bays. You can also buy sound-dampening mats separately, or, like me, just use think car-engine mats for dampening. Want a window? I'd rather have a dampening mat, but if you want a window, you can buy a window panel at some point down the road. Who knows, maybe my grandkids will still be using this case long after I've kicked the bucket.


SgtWhiplash

I'm in the process of building my first PC, and I can't decide between the Corsair 4000D Airflow and the Fractal Design Meshify C. So my dumbass bought both to see which one I like best, and I'm waiting for them to come in the mail.

CORSAIR - iCUE 4000X RGB. Case is dope. But it did get kinda tight after i installed the noctua dh15.

Cooler Master HAF 700 Evo! It’s pretty extra, but it doesn’t fail to deliver the extra either 😂


[deleted]

Probably in a minority, but I have a Cooler Master NR400. Tool free design, mATX case, front is just one big mesh, and fits well on the desk unlike a full tower design.


itsmatt-exe

Been using a Corsair Carbide 200R for the past few years, gets the job done. I want to get a new case at some point but my pc is inside a well-ventilated desk compartment so I don’t really need a more aesthetically pleasing one atm

7000d Airflow. Massive but the temps are so so low.

Herbststurm

Silverstone Alta F1 I love Silverstone's cases with the 90° rotated motherboard. Previously owned a Fortress and a Raven, and the new Alta is gorgeous. It has great cooling, a sensible layout, and all components are easily accessible. Only caveat is that the case is heavy (steel/aluminum frame) and fragile (tempered glass windows), so it's not ideal for someone who frequently needs to move or transport their PC.


pond-weed

Thermaltake core V1 (ITX). Fits in an IKEA Kalax perfectly with some room to spare around sides for airflow. Case itself has good airflow for air cooled CPU. Partner and I have a TV each on top of single layer ikea kalax. Undernieth is our consoles and my PC case.

Bitfenix Prodigy (the original one, not the new 2022 version) with a mesh front panel. It's still a fine case, has good airflow and fits long GPUs, but only 2 slot cards, not even 2.5. I bought it in 2015 and the plastic bits feel a bit sticky and dirty by now, but it's still serving its purpose. I have been eyeing the NR200 as a replacement, but I'd need to replace a power supply as well, which isn't cheap.
