Hello Everyone ! 

I got a MSI Codex XE

BUT ! the airflow seems really bad, or is it just me ? 

The point of the case is that is shall take air in from the top and front, and then out through two points in the back, through the fan and the PSU i guess ?????

BUT

There are no fans in the in the top and no fans in the front either, and it looks like all the mounts in the front are blocking a lot of air ?

I am thinking about removing alle the mounts in the front, and change the HDD for a SSD instead, add a fan in front or two and then one in the top that pushes. It is against the thought of the case, but I will get a better airflow from the front. 

 

Or just buy a new case ... :D

I see rear exhaust and PSU fan. Is this pre-build? Are there even slots for fans in front? If not, I don't think it's worth to mod there some. Not unless you are really into modding or like the case in general.

It's a prebuild.. but there are too slots in the front for fansand two in the top.m so it is made for upgrades.. I just see all the drive slots as a big airflow issue

... 

They kind are, but good fans might be enough.
