So i recently built a new sistem around a 8700k and a 1080 ti but my choice of case and cooler might have been wrong as the thermals of the build are that good

 

i only very recently have been getting in to the hardware scene so to speak

 

the case i am going to change to is Cooler Master MasterBox MB530P RGB  with the cooler being a 360 aio from coolermaster

 

considering the case and the cooler will that be a good choice tho have better thermals?

That looks like it should have good airflow.

Look closer. It's fans are on the outside of the case frame, and half the side vetns are just moldings to look like vents. This case suffers from Original H500P syndrome.

 

Technically the MB530 will have better thermals, but then again so will a lot of cases.

yup only air intake is from the bottom and the fans have no room to breathe

this was my 1st custom build and i have been learning a lot latetly (a lot of ltt videos and others lol)

i dd a quick test and whilee playing took the front cover off and imediatly the temps went down so i am defenitly changing cases

 

thank you
