    Got the case last week - I really love it - great for the price and i fitted a 360mm AIO a ATX PSU and a large GPU (340mm 2,5 slots) along with some extra fans in the case - everything runs great and thermals are fine (but I am not a heavy gamer - use the system mainly for productivity)

    LOVE this case. I was looking for small, well built, and able to accommodate solid hardware and I wasn’t disappointed. As mentioned the front panel is nothing to be excited about, and I’d love to find some shorter cables to clean up the interior but it’s not bad as is. Maybe a great follow-up video, enhance the interior etc?
    All in all a solid recommendation.

      @lectrix8 18 дней назад +1

      Hot air naturally rises, so I agree this is a better fan arrangement. It'll encourage pulling the cooler air that may pool towards the bottom to flow up as well. It'd be very cool to use an IR camera to test out different fan arrangement honestly. Since going by the cpu temperature only obviously doesn't show you temperatures of other components on the board.

      Thanks for replying so fast here's another quick (maybe stupid) question, as I'm new to this and don't want to make any mistakes.
      I'm probably buying the MSI b650m gaming plus wifi, which has 3 system fan connectors. I should buy 2 fan splitters and connect 4 of the fans to 2 connectors and the 5th one to its own connector, do you know if connecting 2 fans to one connector with a splitter will affect ANYTHING? I can't really use a fan hub in this case...
      Also, if my motherboard has 1x CPU fan and 1x PUMP fan listed, is it fine to connect each cpu fan to those connectors (air cooler) or with a splitter to just the CPU fan connector.

      May not be enough room if you use a 3 slot card, can't confirm. This is a 2 slot card and can fit it on the fan shroud where there's enough surface area. If you did use a beefier card you could always remove the last fan and use the bracket.
