the 350D supports 2x 140mm fans for intake air, so if you don't use some high

wizzing 2000-rpm fans you'll be fine on your air cooling choice.

Hello all,

 

Im thinking about getting this case

Case: Corsair 350D MicroATX Mid Tower Case  ($89.99 @ Canada Computers) 

But im wondering if ill run into cooling problems with this case because its smaller and there's less space for airflow. Im also wondering whether this type of case can even fit a air tower cooler or whether i have to go with liquid cooling for its smaller profile, especially since im planning on overclocking

 

Relevant specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($249.79 @ DirectCanada)

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($29.79 @ DirectCanada) 

Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card  ($409.99 @ NCIX)

Case: Corsair 350D MicroATX Mid Tower Case  ($89.99 @ Canada Computers) 

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($68.98 @ Newegg Canada) \

 

This is meant to run bf4 on ultra graphics for 60 fps

 

thanks in advance,

More space =/= better airflow

 

Get a couple of SP120's for the front and it'll be nice and flowing.

That, because if you have good fans, a smaller space means that the fans are closer to the components so they will be getting stronger and more direct airflow, as if the case was larger, the fan is only so powerful, so the components might get a slight "breeze" instead of a stronger constant breath of air.

I would recommend ft03 instead, better cooling, size, and looks
