What do u want to do with the drive bay? Put a CDB-rom? Just get an external one.

I have the nzxt hue which is a drive bay mount hidden under the shroud.

Someone who has experience in using this case in combination with a 360 + 240 rad? I still have an HDD, but this case also has mounts in the bottom of the case. I don't know whether a thin radiator would fit though.

AF, its open so Af will work great

I have a Corsair AF 140 as the exhaust, moves air great. I plan on getting 3 SP fans in the front, and will have some AF fans on the top for exhaust.

Here are some pictures of my recent H440 build:- http://imgur.com/a/xgIaS that replaced my Corsair 760T build:- http://imgur.com/a/Sd43J

 

Pretty happy with the way its turned out, I think getting as colour matching as I could has paid off. I'm considering one of those 980 "HOF" editions with the white PCB when I replace the GPU later this year.

Your probably better putting it in the top and leaving the 3 fans in the front for optimal airflow through the case

I liked the matt black with blue details and nearly chose that colour to colour match my other mobo, have you got any more pics? Internally and so on?

No sorry mate! The files are to large and its a pain to connect my laptop to the NAS (use my PC only for gaming nothing else!) but look online and there are alot of pictures, its a very clean case I must say, the only problem is that the matt finsih can mark super SUPER easy so I may get it powder coated once of these days!

That's a shame from that picture it looks pretty sweet, it is a very clean looking case. The chamber separation really helps with that, I found that despite the tight space its easy to get the wires well managed and out of the way. The limited space between the right side panel and behind the mobo tray incentivised to make a tight clean job with the cable management, if the matt finish marks easily I'm glad I didn't get that colour in the end.

 

The side window marks super easily, despite me being really careful with it and wiping it down with damp, very soft  microfibre cloths (Ones I got from an optician for cleaning glasses) it has still ended up with very fine scratches. From accidental stray contact with finger nails I guess, they are not too bad but its annoying.

 

Still that matt black and the blue looks really nice, good job on that.

Hey guys, I'm new here.

 

I have just joined this forum to seek some help. I am new and have recently (my first time) built a system using Razer's edition of the H440. Currently, my top radiator (Corsair H105) is set as an air out put. So i have 3 intakes at the front and 2 at the top (H105) and a rear exhaust. I've watched youtube and read online about positive, negative, and neutral air pressure as well as their effects, which makes me wonder, which might be the best? Especially the H440 is not airflow optimized particularly the exhaust at the top where the air flow must flow out through the top-side vents. What do you guys think and what's your setup of the fans?

 

Besides that, my case has a faulty LED switch and it causes the LED cable (to the switch) to melt, so I can't turn on the LEDs. I've contacted NZXT and damn, their customer service is so slow. The employee said she is more than happy to help me and requested my address and invoice (on April 2), I replied on the same day, no reply. On April 9, I asked how is she gonna help me since she didnt mention how, and no reply until now. :/ sad....

To get the best airflow i would have 3 in (the front) and 3 out (rear and the top). That is exactly how I am going to be setting mine up when I build mine with the black/red H440, I am also going to be replacing all of the fans with Corsair SP120 (Static Pressure) Quiet Edition fans.

 

Having neutral is the best (3 in/3 out), it will make sure that the airflow through the case is level. Doing this will keep equal pressure too.

This is exactly how I have mine also, even down to the same fans mentioned.

Its fine to be honest. My cards are abit hotter than I would like but that is because of the cards (2.5 slot in SLI no much room to breathe). Everything else if fine.

 

Its never going to be amazing airflow but that is not what the case is designed for.
