coolermaster masterbox 5 lite , suggestions for better airlfow ?

[Bryan2375]

 So I decided to go with the coolermaster masterbox 5 lite as my case for my first build  and I read lots of pretty positive reviews on it but even the bad ones didn’t mention how little airflow this case has  , and after digging around more ,it became clear that this case wasn’t the best choice and since the timeframe for returning it  already passed ,so i am stuck with it  . The main components I’m worried about when it comes to temperatures are my cpu ( R5 2600 ) and gpu ( ASUS GeForce gtx 1070) , the idle temps should be fine but the problem will come in when they are put under load.  With all that being said , I need suggestions on improving case airflow via modding or anything else I can do plz

What temperatures are you actually getting?

 

Doing what?

Front panel seems completely closed off (most likely there's hole in bottom).
So you need to deal with that thing. Taking it off will remove top ports as well or not? If not you can take it off, get a dust filter of that size and simply roll without front panel.

Just built a system for a friend in one of those, its a very restrictive case all things considered, the only thing i can imagine doing is leaving the front or side panel off the case, cutting up the acrylic may mess it up too much.

Well the pc is not actually put together just yet , I am going off by what I’ve read about the case from people’s experiences with  temperatures they get with the same case , so I guess I wouldn’t really be able to tell you what you’re asking for until it’s put together and I see the actual temps my self . Also this is my very first build so This is why I decided to post and ask on here .

it doesn't take the io with it. the front panel has holes down and up, but not much airflow. the best ways would be to mod it with cutting, leaving it off and install some filters on the fans, or mod a mesh panel on it

btw, I have the case, and my 1070 ti+8600k doesn't come higher than 70 degrees, so I'm fine (my 8600k is cooled by a low-profile cooler)

Yes it  removes top ports as well , I might just do that and remove side panel tbh ,doesn’t seem much that I can do to the case itself without kinda disfiguring it if I decided to mod it I guess .

you're probably over-worrying in advance

Most likely tbh , but I don’t think there’s anybody who wouldn’t if it was there first build , unless they are very knowledgeable

once again, it doesn't. you can take it off, and the top io will keep on his place.

Yea I just noticed that he was talking about the io coming off I thought something else oops that’s why I said it did come off .

This is my little mod to the case to improve it's airflow and temps, but in my case I use a radiator so I had to do this to improve the temps (magnetic air filters recommended).

Hmm this also seems like a viable option , might just consider doing the same with mine !
