I'm not sure I get what people are saying here. Are they saying this case sucks for high end parts with default fans or with all fans full? Anyone putting in high end components would probably add fans too. Just a thought. I would like to know how well the case does with 2 140s up front a 140 up top and a 120 in back. The side of the front is mesh so that should help more than say the s340 elite.

It's not the best case for keeping high end parts cool even with 4 fans installed. For mid ranged builds this case is perfectly capable of keeping everything relatively cool. Even though the side is mesh, it's only one side not two so the difference isnt as big as one might think. If both sides were mesh, then there would definitely be an improvement

My H440 is sitting in a corner now because the airflow was absolutely atrocious with a locked i5 and 1060. Everyone said the airflow was "fine" but everything had to spin loudly. I'll see about this case when there's actual experience with it. 

 

My HAF X has no problems with airflow :P

That's an F in the profile pic

I'm leaning towards switching cases 'again' for my build... SP ventilation from the front shouldn't be an issue if I use my Noctua PPC-3000 right?

In theory yes, but you'll still take a performance hit assuming your signature's case is the one you're currently using.
