What kind of hardware are you looking at putting in it. Things like # of drives, what kind of air cooler, motherboard size, etc can all play a role in the air cooling of one case vs another.
Thanks for the kind words! Instead of push-push, have you thought of making the fans pull-pull on the Noctua cooler? That may solve your clearance problems. I knew the cooler was big before I bought it and I normally buy non-fancy RAM kits anyway so not an issue as you can see with my picture.Damn nice case and setup! Yea I removed my PSU cover for more air flow to the GPU. We are all about air flow and since my ram are tall I have to offset my front fan making it as tall as 192-193mm distance internal. This is on a Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower.
I've not really been testing fans, but when I got my Noctua cooler, I was so impressed with their fans and so that's why I bought two (three by tomorrow!) and replaced my stock case fans.Now the Corsair Carbide 600C the original idea behind it was quietness withotu losing airflow performance.
Sweet setup! What's that white rod? GPU support?As you can see on the picture above the fan is pretty much touching the side panel due to the ram size making the fan offset by a lot.
Flight simulation is my hobby and because of that, I had to learn how to work with wood a little bit as well, so decided to make one from the scrap bits lying around. Here's a shot of my sim pit.By the way I do like how you made that stand. Do you do those to order?
The 500R came with it stock. It's low RPM so not very noisy. Where the 450D and the 600C fails in my opinion is that they're too short. 2 front fans vs. 3 front fans and it's clear which one has better airflow capability. Plus because of the bigger "volume" of air, I can run the fans slower so less noise.lol The aside 200mm fan is nice on your case not a bad option too, was also looking at the Corsair Obsidian Series Black 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Computer Case and Obsidian Series 750D Airflow Edition. However; we are trying to stay below the $150 budget if possible personally shotting within the $100-130 range but with a max of $150.
Nice setup, I love flight sim, use to do that before with Microsoft Flight Sim 98,2000, and the one after that on top of Fighter Falcon 4.0 with custom skin, features and setup were you needed to actually go over the correct setup to turn on the F-16 before flight. I did also flew real plane before in NYC.
No idea, sorry. Shouldn't be too far off from the push config, but the only way to be sure is to test.That support road is for the graphic card it is heavy and that is what keep it from sagging. By the way do you know if there is a cooling performance different swapping the CPU fans around?
