Best 100€ case for temps and design?

[SlimShady99]

Im looking to switch from my Corsair 275R, a great case, to something a little bit more expensive, I was thinking about this ones:

(I love this one because it comes with 3 RGB Corsair fans) https://www.amazon.es/Corsair-Semi-torre-Inteligente-Ventiladores-Incluidos/dp/B07W6RCKWF?SubscriptionId=AKIAJFKHIH5FQXYBHOQQ&tag=astr32-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07W6RCKWF&th=1

 

I want a big case, good looking design, low temps and noise, I would really appreciate if you send me some ideas so I can decide and also we can all see which are the best +100€ cases, 130€ top tho, like the Lian li, 80-130€. Thanks in advance!

Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic, NZXT H700\710(i), Phanteks P400A \ Digital.

 

Corsair, please fire your cases designer. You have either cases with terrible airflow but somewhat good looking or something that are ugly as fuck but has decent airflow, nothing in between. Not everyone needs shitton of RGB fans, make clean looking sub 100$ case with good airflow and people will buy it.

The NZXT is 150€ in my country so no, and the Phanteks is not on stock on Amazon, I really like that Lian li, should I buy that one instead? Or do you have any other recomendations? Thanks for the reply

PC-O11 is very good but it's rather optimized for custom water cooling, lots of fan spaces which you'll need to populate all to have decent airflow and no filters altogether, there's also PC-O11 Air but it has even more openings, 13 fans, WTF Lian-Li ?

What about the Fractal Design Meshify C, or their Define series?

OMG how many fans come with the case then? hahaha, i value a lot fans with the case itself, thats why i like that Corsair with 3 rgb fans included (the LL120)

pfff.. I could buy the value pack of 5 Arctic F12 as well, because I really like the idea of having that enormous thing on my desk full of fans The PC 011 so far then!

Oh, i advice against Arctic fans, i bought that value pack, they all leaked within three months, Arctic says "it's fine, use them until they'll die" lol, i don't want to get my PC insides get smeared with oil all over the place.

The icue 465 is one of the better cases corsair makes that isnt an Airflow refresh or questionably designed. The side intake is well spaced, and coupled with properly positioned fans make it a good option. However, the PC-O11D is still arguably one of the best cases currently available in the price range, build quality, features and aesthetics.

So which would you pick? Keep in mind that the ICUE 465 is 125€ and the Lian Li 135€, but that Corsair one comes with 3 RGB LL120 fans valued on +20€ each, and I would need to buy some fans for the Lian Li.

 

I like more the Lian Li mainly because of the space available, but that 3 RGB fans included also atracts me.

What's your system build? Want to double check, the PC-O11D only has a 155mm CPU tower height clearance which can be an issue for some primarily air cooled systems.

I have this

 

Ryzen 5 3600 cooled by Arctic Freezer 34 Duo

RTX 2070 Super MSI Gaming X Trio

Gigabyte 750W 80 Plus Gold Semimodular

16GB RAM Corsair 3200mhz CL16 RGB

B450 Aorus Pro

NVME Samsung 500gb

 

Dont think It will be a problem right?

Freezer  34 Duo is 157 mm tall, so you are out of luck.


Cheap, but decent case is Deepcool Matrexx 55 Mesh. Fairly spacious inside, you can put 5 140mm fans in it, but comes with no fans.

As @Quadriplegic mentioned, the cooler will be too tall for the PC-O11D. So that should make the decision easy (and no, there's basically no chance it will fit anyways.)

like you said its meant for custom loops...

13 fans seems amazing to me

I can always switch cooler for the ocasion no problem xDD so with that cleared out, which would you chose between those 2?

Probably the O11D, even though it's more expensive and with no fans, it's like a blank canvas that you can paint over and over for years to come.

I agree with you, thank you. This doesnt fit here but could you help me finding a CPU cooler that fit in the Lian Li with good performance design and posibly RGB?

Any variant of the Cryorig H7

Arctic Freezer 33 Esports (it's shorter than the 34)

Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B

Scythe FUMA 2

MSI CORE FROZR L

 

@WoodenMarker did I miss any? (Tower coolers below 155mm for a PC-O11D)

I'd add Silentium PC Fera3 RGB. And Alpenföhn Brocken Eco Advanced with Phanteks Halos.

And of course, the classic Deepcool Gammaxx400.

There is technically support, but not having up to 160mm of clearance really omits a LOT of coolers. There's always down draft coolers (similar to stock AMD and intel coolers) but thats not to say they're completely void of options. The MSI Frozer is used in Gamers Nexus case testing and fit no problem

Edit: Nevermind, its even taller lol
