Best case for highest possible airflow

[k96]

Hello,

 

 

I was hoping you guys could help me figure out which case to buy in terms of high airflow value. The Budget is pretty much not set, as prices differentiate from the US and Norway, so the cheaper it is, obviously the better, but i dont want to sacrifice build quality, quirks etc etc. But im looking at something at 100 USD. I cant seem to find any good combination as im seeing 3 fans in the front, but then only 1 on top and back, or 2 fans in front and 3 on top and 1 back. So i was hoping you could provide some cases that has 2/3 fans in front aswell as 2/3 fans on top, and 1/2 fans on the bottom for a "fantastic" case while also having a window. Though im not picky, so wether its acryl or tempered glass doesnt matter, but if you can find the latter, it would be Nice. Also im not planning on any Liquid builds, altough future plans might be AIO coolers, though do not take that in account

 

 

EDIT: Forgot to add that it needs to support ATX board, and i do not mind it being a full Tower or weighing 50 pounds, i have no restriction there what so ever.

 

 

Any answers is appreciated, and thanks for providing helpfull information

Fractal Define Meshify C is pretty much the best out there right in terms of what you are looking for. If you can wait a few months, Cooler Master is coming out with a new version of the H500P with a Mesh front instead of closed off and will probably be the best.

I can't take credit for finding this on my own, as it was recommended by someone else on this forum, but I think this is pure awesome:

You do know you can move fans around correct? Theyre not stuck in a 3/1 or 1/2 configuration... Bottom fans dont do much for your case.

 

First, let's watch this:

 

TL;DW, 2 fan front, 1 fan rear is fine. 

 

With that said, the Cases that are recommended that's strongest poitns are Airflow are:

 

Silverstone RL06

Fractal Design Meshify C

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M

 

The Silverstone Comes with 4 fans right out of the box, so in it's stock configuration it's cooling is unmatched.

Thanks for all the replies to everyone in this thread, it was really helpfull, and to be honest, i havent even heard of these cases before. And these cases were right where i wanted them to be, in terms of pricing. So thanks alot for the info.

 

That said, i just fell in love With the meshify C, so thats what i went With. Now i just need to buy the rest of my system and hopefully this will turn out great.

 

 

Thanks again for all the advice, i appreciate it!

Most cases provide good airflow, especially in the atx form factor, it becomes more of an issue with smaller cases. I'd only invest in higher end ones for things such as aesthetics, cable management, noise reduction and the like.

 

I used an old antec 300 for years and had temps around 40c with an fx8350.
