Hi!

After ten years i did my new build. Went from a I3-3220 to a Ryzen 3700x+Asus X570 TUF wifi with m2 ssd + 2 hdd's. I'm still using my old 750TI.

So far i've used the old case of my pc for the time being (an old 15year+ cybercool case).

I wanted to upgrade the case.

I really liked the reviews about the Phanteks P400a, a lot of airflow and better cooling than most cases and not so much noise with the 3 big fans at low speed. Here in summer we have days of 40°C+.

But in my country (argentina) with Covid19 it's almost impossible to get this case, it's sold out everywhere.

I can get for almost the same price a oem version of the Enthoo Pro M with 2 fans included. I plan to have 2 intake fans, and 2 exhaust fans (one back and other in the top).

I can not find any good review of that case with standarized temperatures comparison.

Is it a good case temperature wise?

Thanks in advance!

it should be decent, there is mesh in front of the front intake fans rather than just a gap. The only problem I see is double stacked mesh (front panel and dust filter), I wonder if the front panel is already dust proof enough to not need the filter.

Yes, i tought of that too. I have a dog in my house, and even when i vacuum every day the house is full of hair, so maybe i can try with and without the dust filter and see how it goes.

THe P400a has no dust filter and is one of the best cases for aircooling setups i think. The enthoo pro m without the dust filter should be decent too.
