Best case for air flow and air cooling

I've been asking about cases and I always get great advice. I was previously asking about silent cases. 

 

However, I am now looking at the possibility of instead going for a silent case, having the best air flow case to keep everything nice and cool!

 

thank you

H440 has terrible airflow, R5 is a bit better but the mastercase and air 540 with all those vents will provide the best airflow

I wouldn't say the H440 is terrible in terms of airflow :P I was actually gonna mention the MasterCase only

If reviews have told me anything it's not the best

Yes I agree, but it's not at the terrible level as you said. Just throw out some good cases, personally I'd choose the MasterCase 5 anyway

The Air 540 has excellent airflow. I currently have a ambient temperature of 26C and my oc'ed CPU idles at 29-32C. My GPU idles at around 43C although one monitor is running at 144Hz so it runs at higher clocks (950Mhz) even on desktop.
