as Linus mentioned

if I were to do a pull config

does it choke?

the air vents are too small or what

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

What do you mean by "Choke"?

 

If you mean something along the lines of "Does it have poor airflow", then not horribly, it doesn't have the best airflow, but its still enough to keep stuff cool.

I wouldn't worry about airflow. It's not great, but it won't make or break your system. 

 

There about a 10c difference between all the panels on and all the panels off, but the airflow, even with all the panels on, is still more than adequate to keep my cpu/gpu running at 100% for hours.

I just got one and will be doing a report on the fan noise, intake w/ and w/o the panels that could potentially "choke" the airflow, and everything else about the case I can find. All stock fans & stock orientation + an h100i mounted to intake.

I don't have the equipment for air temp readings. Room computer is running in is about 67F. You run AC at your house? As long as it's not 80+ degrees in your house I wouldn't worry too much. I'm assuming the humidity is pretty high if we're talking tropical?
