Difine S question

Go to solution Solved by GER_T4IGA,

Hi,

sorry for my stupid question, but is Fractal Design Difine S good case for air cooling? Im not planning water cooling in future and looking for "minimalistic" design.

I have "classic" build - MSI GTX970, MSI Z97, Intel i5 4590, Seasonic S12II 620W and CPU cooler will probably be Scythe Tatsumi (advice about CPU cooler is welcome).

I was about to purchase NZXT S340, but its not available in my country right now (Czech Republic).

Im buying from this site - https://www.alza.cz/skrine/18849057.htm#f&cst=1&pg=2&pn=1&par485=485-1809&par487=487-1814&par499=499-1839

and price of Difine S is about max that i want to spend on case. I will use 2fans that are included with case + 2 Noctua NF-P12 PWM

 

Thanks in advance!

It is an overall good case so don't worry to much about the "perfect for watercooling"

You could as well but a lot of fans in al the "slots"(might be the wrong term here) to get anice airflow and benefit of the watercooling capabilities that way.

It's a lot less effective for air cooling than a case with a lot more open fan grills.
