Considering case swap. S340 to Meshify C

[Psygnosis7]

Right now I have an NZXT S340 with a Kraken X61 aio.  I'm not of fan of the CAM software (currently not installed) and I've started to get annoyed with the closed off front on the S340.  At one point I had an SLI setup with GTX 980s and I was never comfortable putting the sidepanel on under load and I'm often times popping the front off the case.  I saw the new white Meshify C and it looks awesome, I like the glass sidepanel, and that it's a little more compact.  I was thinking about getting that and the Celsius S36. 

 

But I was wondering about the airflow of a 360mm front mount compared to the 280mm X61.  Would it allow for more air into the case and better airflow around the GPU at similar noise levels?

 

CPU: i7-7700k

Mobo: Asus Z170s

GPU: GTX 1080 Fe

since you will have 3 120mm fans instead of 2 140 mm fans it will move a bit more air and be a bit louder, if you tuned the fan curves a bit you could reduce the noise

Slightly. 360mm rads have about 12% more surface area than 280mm rads, but you also have more fan to move through it, so you'd either be able to push more air through the radiator or spin the ans slower to achieve the same temps as before.
