how is cooling in this case? it didn't raise concern until I thought about it I do live in a hot environmentand I just wanted to know how the air flow was in iT I will be water cooling my CPU but not my GPU maybe later on

I don't own an H440 but a lot of people say it has poor airflow because of the ventilation intake on the side. So it will starve for fresh air

Yea i was reading that too im a simplistic dude and i love the simple look to the case i cant find anything like it sadly i dont like hdd cages being visible I just like the motherboard graphics card radiators and that's about it that's all I really like showing and that's what this case does

The H440 is a really popular case despite the fact that some people say it has poor airflow. It's not that bad.

It's not amazing, but with the large amount of fan space you can use, it's good enough for most every build, even though it is a bit restricted.

 

I know this may seem bizarre BUT if you want minimalistic design with amazing airflow capabilities (admittedly not out of the box with the mere two stock fans), it is very very hard to beat the Fractal Design Define S (with its minimal restriction 3x 140mm front fan layout.) The only reason I say it may seem bizarre is it is clearly a watercooling first case, BUT the total of 8+1(PSU) 140mm fan slots is arguably the most sheer potential I've seen in a midtower (and the sensible 3 front, 1 back, cpu out top is a very very strong cooling solution.)

The H440 is not good at all for water cooling. It's pathetic that a stock Hyper 212 EVO outperforms an H105 with Noctua fans on it in the H440. Great looking case, but it's not much for cooling.

It's a really popular case because it looks great, and in spite of poor airflow. It's not terrible by any means, but it could easily have been actually good with more focus on the chassis design.
