h510i vs masterbox lite 5?

jstone55

Question in title, have the masterbox lite but looking to switch it up and can get a h510i for $50 is it worth the upgrade?

You'd go from a case with horrific airflow to a case with bad airflow. Sure it's an upgrade but it's not a good upgrade. Get a corsair nr600 or something should be around the same price but that will allow for actual good airflow due to the front mesh.

Oh yeah that is normal the case only has a teeny tiny slit for airflow at the bottom with that on it so often a whistling or gust sound could be heard of the fans desperately trying to get air. As your case is currently it's a lot better for airflow than the h510 so I'd keep the masterbox without the front on
