New H440

Anyone had any experience with the new H440 and how much better the airflow is after the update?

I have on here...its waiting on Noctua Chromax pads/pins to get swapped into though I havent looked over it thoroughly but to be frank it doesnt look THAT diffrent in terms of airflow design. from what I seen its so minor I will be amazed if there is a 1 degree change frankly

The airflow on the original isn't that horrible.  All NZXT did was remove the plastic bars that blocked the vents.

Between the two i would say they are almost the same, they didn't really improve airflow in anyway greatly, the design of the slots from below to now allow for a little bit more airflow but nothing that much.

Thanks! I'm going from a 650D that has has vibration and sound issues. Hopefully i can get close to the same temps going with an all in one cooler and a new PSU.

Umm, I own an NZXT and it fits my rig perfectly, quiet IF you run your fans at low PWM, I think the top fan air intake little area is too small and creates a huge amount of noise. So I would recommend getting good fans if you are using a radiator like a few noctuas so that you can run them quiet and still get good performance.

People who shit on the cooling of the case are morons, the case was DESIGNED to be silent and when you do something like that you are going to have to have some compromises.

 

Ya its cooling sucks next to a more open case but at that point you might as well be comparing it to an open test bench since a more open airflow case is not designed to be silent. 

 

For a silent case it does a good job at keeping itself quiet, and cooling parts adequately and looking good.

 

If you want MASSIVE Oc numbers this isnt the case to be looking at, if you want something that can cool your system with a moderate OC and be fairly quiet while doing so its a good case. 

 

(and to be honest its the nicest case ive built in rvrn if corsairs grommets are better imo)

I dig the look of the case. I really like the smoked window on the black model. I have always built in corsair cases, but have not been a fan of the there recent corsair case designs.

Well of you realise what you are getting into with my above post then I say go for it the only thing I'd look into is how it's air-cooled performance is if you don't have an aio liquid cooler to my understanding the case benefits from having an aio over an air heatsync
