Pc cases for best airflow?

[SSGSS]

What are some of the best cases for airlfow, i see corsair 5000d and nzxt h7 flow being good choices

[PDifolco]

Yeah, also

Fractal Torrent

Lian Li Lancool 216 and Lancool III

Phanteks G360 and G500

Lancool III is massive and heavy, keep that in mind. As good as it is, thing is a tank. I can barely get it up to give the damn thing a vacuum.

If you're that kind of person that likes data, you might enjoy the roundup Gamers Nexus did a few years ago: https://gamersnexus.net/guides/3604-best-gaming-pc-cases-airflow-2020-right-now and the 2022 case rollup:

how much can a pc case with a good airflow lower the temps of the gpu and cpu, is there videos or data on that? Thanks.

Fractal north with mesh side is probably the best air flow case. but other case could get close to that. a tech bench would probably beat the Fractal north

Quite a bit, depending on the differences in case design.

 

GN has data (based on a consistent thermal testing setup with an air cooler and GPU) on bad and good airflow cases and how that affects temps... From their 2022 roundup:

That's a 15 degree above ambient swing! 

Spoiler

Compare the LianLi Lancool 216: 

to the Fractal Design North: 

to the Abkoncore Ramesses 780: 

and finally a $70 Montech case: 

 

 

 

I'd love to see LTT and GN team up to do a super scientific case and thermals exploration...

Any case can be an airflow case of you have fans that are strong enough

 

But I do like my Torrent Compact, if I were to do it again I would get the full sized version.
