hello i want to buy a new case, i currently have: gamemax abyss

 

and the airflow is really bad, my current asus rtx 3060 hits 80c while playing MW2,BF1 and final fantasy 7 remake for example.

 

my current rig is:

 

i7 12700k

Noctua NH-D15 chromax. black

 

GIGABYTE Z690 - Aorus Elite AX DDR4

32gb ram corsair lpx 3200mhz

rm 850x

Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM on the front

Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM on the bottom

1 darkflash rgb 120mm fan

3 darkflash rgb on the top 1200 rpm

gamemax abyss

 

the case is big with a lot of space, but the airflow sucks,i did some testing with the righ panel off and the temps were low on the gpu, max 71c compared to the 81c with panel on

 

im looking for:

 

a good pc case: with good airflow,a lot of space for a AIO 360mm in the future, good cable management,and for the noctua fans that i currenlty have

 

i was looking on amazon the: Corsair 4000D Airflow 

is it good for what im asking for?

 

or can u recommend a good case.

 

bugdet: us$ 150 depends on the case also

 

thank you

Thats enough for the best like Lancool 216, but considering that you already have all the fans at the ready and you want to use it all it would be a good idea to pick up the 4000D bigger brother, the 5000D. Front mount the iPPC, move the Redux as exhaust, and put the RGB fans as the side intake at low RPM for aesthetic. That would leave us with the top fan slot which would be ready for an AIO. Another path we can do with the Lancool 216 is to use the iPPC to top mount, but i have seen anecdotal showing in this forum that the top mounted fans interfere with the air cooling airflow. And those 180mm fans while loud, are really the key to the massive stock performance so removing it isn't a good idea. Same goes with the Fractal Design competitor to the archetype (not price, as they are a bit more expensive), the Fractal Torrent.
