Airflow cases

[HellTheCRoss]

So, i just want to know which one of these cases are better in terms of airflow and great interior temps: Meshify C, P400A, Cooler Master TD500 Mesh.

Oh, and if we talk airflow, can i get some recommendations for some good airflow fans?

 

Thank you!

[Shimejii]

the meshify and p400A are good options, the TD500 is Also decent. Id reccomend you be careful with spending a ton on case  fans, cause unless you need all that airflow its only going to increase your cost for a little performance.

[HellTheCRoss]

@Shimejii Do you recommend something else? Or should i buy the meshify c or the p400a?

[WoodenMarker]

I'm not sure about the TD500 Mesh but the P400A has better cooling than the Meshify C. 

What specs did you have in mind? 

[Constantin]

Meshify C, i think has the better airflow, having a bot fan that the others don't.

Out of those, the case with the best stock airflow is going to be the p400a. Meshify C gets close to it with an additional fan, however.

You may want to list the components you intend to use, because one case could be better based on the components. One case can fit a taller cooler than the other.

@WoodenMarker @alyen These are the specs I want to use:

CPU: i7 9700k

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 4

Motherboard: z390 aorus pro

GPU: evga rtx 2070 super xc ultra or rtx 2070 super aorus

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8gb 3200mhz

PSU: Corsair RM750x

Any of the cases mentioned would be fine for that. 

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

[HellTheCRoss]

@WoodenMarker I live in Romania, so the hardware here is a little bit overpriced because of the import/export stuff. My budget is 1800 euro but I can squeeze 100 euro more.

[Vejnemojnen]

Do you already have the HW? If not, would you consider AM4& Ryzen @HellTheCRoss

 

Can we use this site: https://www.compari.ro/ to look up the prices?

 

I'd get the Phanteks P400A, very popular since it's introduction! : )  And put three of these at the front, 1 at rear exhaust https://www.compari.ro/coolere-c3094/arctic/p12-pwm-pst-value-pack-acfan00137a-p434586807/

 

(they are certainly a better solution for the front, due to their high static pressure (great behind dust filters). For exhaust fans, you can use another model, but locally, most just buy P12-P14 series instead of F. The latter has smaller static pressure& noisier, and does not perform that well, not even for case fans..)

@Vejnemojnen At the moment no, but i'm planning to buy my new pc in 1 month or so. I'm still checking out a lot of parts and what I consider to be ''the best'' for my budget but I'm up for suggestions and recommendations.

[HellTheCRoss]

@Vejnemojnen And yes, you can use that site to look up the prices.

(The following is assuming all three cases are near identical prices in Romania's market)

 

Meshify C will always lose to the P400A varaints with front fans (RGB, ARGB) because it simply has more fans. Give them both the same type and amount of fans, and they even out, with the P400A being slightly better still since the Meshify C has a foam filter which is better for dust filtration but worse for airflow. Not sure about the TD500, but I'd imagine it's similar to the P400A. 

 

If you dont want to worry about buying your own fans, the P400A or TD500 Mesh options with included fans would be best since the cases come with three fans each at the front (Depending on the SKU available.) If you dont mind adding fans, the Meshify C Is probably the best choice.

I love my meshify. It’s better than an open air bench if you have powerful fans. For airflow, it’s is the best case I have owned. I don’t have to turn down my overclocks when the summer comes

: ) tomorrow I'll send a parts list. AM4 like:

- MSI b450 Gaming Plus MAX mobo

- Ryzen 3700x or 3800x CPU & Some decent air cooler ~ Brocken 3 alpenföhn)

- Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2x8GB CL16 3200Mhz RAMs (most of the times, easily OC-d to 3600-3800Mhz cl16.)

- Corsair RM650 PSU

- MSI RTX 2070Su Gaming X trio

- Phanteks P400A airflow or even Silentium PC Signum RGB (4 case fans pre-installed...)

 

But I'll look through the prices, these are just generally great price-to-performance ratio choices.

Those look like bad fans with small fan blades due to the outer rings and the front is a solid glass panel which isn't good for airflow. 

 

I'm not seeing any reasonably priced P400A Digital's which come with plenty of fans so I'd recommend just getting the normal P400A and using 2x140mm's at the front for intake. The stock front fan can be moved to the top for exhaust. 

NF-P14S' are good: https://www.compari.ro/coolere-c3094/noctua/nf-p14s-redux-1200-140x140x25mm-p233304475/

https://www.compari.ro/carcase-c3085/phanteks/eclipse-p400a-ph-ec400atg-p517422765/

If there are better local deals, you can do that instead. 

[Vejnemojnen]

@WoodenMarker I can't argue with that. Of course a p400a with additional fans is better than the Signum. I guess rest of the parts are fine.
