Enthoo Pro > Everything.

Hey, I am looking for a computer case that has great air cooling out of the box, and will fit the NH-D15 from Noctua.

I was thinking about the: NZXT H440 but I've read that it's terrible for air cooling, and the Phanteks Enthoo Pro which is quite nice.

 

If you have any feedback about those two cases or any case suggestions please comment.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

 

Enjoy your stay. Also get the H440. It's great. I have it. 

 

Thank you :D

 

I love the H440 but the problem is that I live in a hot environment where ambient temps can get up to 30 Celsius.

So I am concerned that the H440 will affect my CPU / GPU temps, since the airflow isn't that great.

 

But if someone can convince me that the temps are fine, I will thank them and buy this case with a smile on my face ^_^

Airflow in the H440 is pretty good :)

I really love the H440...but if you had trouble with airflow before, I would go with the HAF 912.

According to this performance test http://www.techspot.com/review/828-nzxt-h440/page4.html the temps are not that bad, but not good either.

Right now I am using HAF 922 and never had problem with it, but is the H440 close to the HAF 922 when it comes to cooling?
