questions about meshify C

lyon811 · December 4, 2020

So, I'm currently in the middle of building a new PC and have some questions.

The case I got was the meshify C, for how much it cost, and airflow, I thought it was really good. Anyway, the thing I might need help is with my GPU. I ordered a MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio 10G and after panic purchasing for a good deal, I noticed that the gpu is about 323 mm, while the Meshify C supports up to 315 mm with the case fans. I've read online that you can either move one fan down into the drive cave to make room, or move the fans behind the front pannel, so that it's basically touching the mesh. I have two Notctua 140MM fans and wondering if they can be put behind the mesh. I saw a bitwit video where he cut the plastic in front of the mesh to make more room.

I would just like yall's opinion on what I should do. I really don't want return the case (I can for no charge at me at all, but I really like this case) and I just don't know whitch method makes more sense. Behind the front pannel, or below the drive cave.

touching the mess should be fine. Also make sure you have rear fan as exhaust too. Meshify C's stock fan config is not the best. Gamers Nexus made a video about this.
