Corsair Obsidian 450D vs NZXT H440

[siggi376]

I was wondering which case would suit better for a GTX 980 Ti and i7 4790k. I would like to have a silent setup but I have read that some people don't think the H440 is a silent as you would think because of how hard it is to get air through the front filters so the fans run at 100% all the time. And the 450D is suppose to be better airflow optimized. I would like to fit a H100i into it as well. If anyone has some experience or knowledge on either case that would be great  

 

Thanks

i have a h440 a h100i will fit perfectley on the top as outtake

airflow is great for the case. better than my spec 0-1 there really isnt that much restriction from the front case

They're both nice cases. If you care about noise and silence, the h440 is the way to go

450D, you probably find H440 lacking in future(5.25 drive bay/WC Support).

Although i'd also say take a look at the 750D as it sometimes priced cheaper than the 450D.

H440 also has poor airflow.

Are the front case fans completely silent even though running on full load?

I have an MSI GTX 980 Ti, will it get better temperatures with the 450D or will the difference be barely noticeable?

you can hear the fans on full load. you can hear them run just slap on some noctuas on any case if you want silence

i dont know any cases that have completeley  quiet stock fans on full load
