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.

Ahh i see, im going for the ASUS Maximus VII Hero mobo. The good thing is that there is wide spacing between the two x16 slots in it, so most cards will have plenty of room to breathe in the case. I'm going for a ASUS GTX 980 Strix, may get a 2nd in the future.

How about positive air pressure? 3 intake and 2 intake at the front and top, only the exhaust at the rear. Will the pressure inside push the air out?

You not pulling hot air into you GPU that way?

It would but you will get a layer of fine dist over all the components

Plus if you have a raditor on the top/front you will be just pulling hot air into the case

Im not sure how it will affect the case temperature as well as the GPU. Just heard some people mention about the pressure to push the air out with positive pressure.

 

So I guess the best airflow set up is neutral pressure?

I recently bought this case, and shortly thereafter upgraded mobo, cpu and cooler.

 

H440 white/black

Core i7-4790k @4.6GHz with Kraken x61

ASUS Maximus VII Formula

G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600 (2x8GB)

Powercolor 7850 (leftover)

Samsung 840 Pro 256GB

EarthWatts EA750 (leftover, next upgrade, for a modular)

 

I've got it running good, and reasonably cool, but I think I can optimize the airflow better. I'm currently using the stock case and Kraken fans. I had fitment issues mounting the radiator as a top exhaust with fans in pull config, so it's a front intake. I moved the the 3x120mm to top exhaust, but the one in the front position is currently not connected, as it's partially blocked, and doesn't seem to make a noticable difference either way.  140mm is still in rear as exhaust.  I'm considering buying a 140mm that matches the rear, and doing a push/pull config on the radiator, and moving the top front 120 to the rear exhaust, but not sure it's neccessary.  Any suggestions are welcome. 

 

I don't have any good pics, but here's one:

Thanks. And yeah, it's small. It's on the short list of what's left to upgrade. I built a budget gaming rig about 2.5 years ago, and a few months back began augmenting it with hand me down parts from a friend. Since it still couldn't handle Arma 3, I built this. When looking for the case, I decided on a white case after my friend's corsair rig. We both liked how clean this one was, and didn't realize it was because of no external bays until we read the specs lol.

what sort of CPU temps are you guys getting?

With the front and top off, i get down to 50* under gaming load. everything closed, i jump up to 60* spiking at 69. but if i open the top and just have it resting on top, it goes to 55*.

 

i do have a large OC for a 5820 at 1.32v

 

i also noticed that my exhaust fan is starving the closest fan on the rad...

Nice build!

Closely similar to the components I am going with for mine soon.

Also, where have you got the HUE controller in the case?

Does anyone have a guide or instructions to replacing the window with something not so cheap? Like maybe a piece of glass or a harder acrylic.
