Meshify 2 vs Phanteks P500A Digital
On 2/20/2021 at 7:16 PM, StillNvidia680 said:The only other point of consideration I can think of with them both being the same price is that I have a somewhat dusty environment and pets, this PC will be on the ground with a wood panel as a base underneath it in a carpeted room, so maybe the 1mm open mesh isn't as good of an option as the Meshify 2 with an actual filter? Any advice and input would be appreciated, been reading and researching for a long time but it is my first build so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything! Thanks all!
Meshify 2 will be the better filter at the cost of airflow. Both fans can be tuned for lower noise, but as noted, neither will do anything to hide any whining noise form fan motor hubs, GPU coil whine, PSU coil whine, HDD clicking, etc. Usually though this isnt a huge deal as most parts dont emit coil whine regularly and most users are switching to SSD's. Fan motor hubs are something I haven't personally looked into for noise.
It all really depends on how often you want to clean filters and the inside of your case (no filter will get all dust out, you will occasionally need to dust out the inside)
