011D Evo Airflow vs Fractal´s torrent ?

[em_lab]

Just to clarify me i was searching forn an Airflow case this week

i alkready ordered the Franctal Torrent base on your advice..

but then the 011d EVO (with the front panel mesh option)

came to my mind and i start to see some vids with the airflow option, no too many but 

 

how´s the 011d evo ( airflow ) version is placed vs the Fractal Torrent in terms of GPU and CPU temps ? 

 

thanks for your opinion..

GN's review has the Mesh option directly compared to the Torrent in their charts.

the lian li 011 has some problems, cost, and how dam tight things are. witch got worse wroth the evo... not only that the power rest button might not fit... the front mesh fan bracket is flimsy same with the top and bottom fan mount..the frame will sag in to the fan scraping it. cant put 140mm fan on the bottom as it will scrape the power rest button... they spent all the time and moeny on it being flip able, the side panels, and upgrades.. vary disappointed.  for $340

It arrive right nos. 

 

Il got a question

Is better to connect thé 5 fans of thé case to thé FRACTAL hub which si connected to the CPU or 

is better to connect them to the Mobo fans pins?

• 180mm fans uses 0.35a (rgb same as well IIRC)
• 140mm fans uses 0.25a (rgb ones 0.30a)
• so total of 5 fans together are 1.45a (rgb 1.6a), no issue on 4.5a sata power
• hub only takes power from sata & pwm control signal from mobo

torrent fan hub is just a sata powered spliter. so it'll only read fan rpm from 1 fan

it'll work to run all the case fans, but u can't control its rpm range by fan position
