Recommend the highest airflow case today?

[AT0MAC]

Im interested to see what the best airflow case might be as of right now?

 

Im interested due to the very high temperatures this summer around here, om practically melting...

 

No specific build in mind, it's all just a thought, a concept you might call it - hit me with your best bet

Cooler Master H500P springs into mind when someone says "airflow case", just look at that thing.

I guess you mean the H500P mesh?

Oh yeah, I forget there's many H500P versions. I just recall watching a JayzTwoCent's video and he happened to have a mesh H500P and I just remember the H500P as that version.

I do actually like the newest edition, H500M, it seems a little better thought out than rest of that series, but lets see what others say, there must be something i don't know about out there

This one works especially well with a downdraft. air cpu cooler...

Thats such a beautiful case, specially when hanged on the wall, its pure PC p0rn!

But honestly, I would not imagine it to be very good for thermals, there are almost no mounting points for fans to blow over components - but like you say, downdraft coolers might make a difference

do they really sell that as a case? lmao

wow really, nothing better have come up since 2010? i know they are awesome, but they look and feel rather old by now....

meh, its kind of a backplate, psu holder and some glass, but for some its considered a case, it has all you need. i think it looks pretty cool, just wish it had maybe a top plate or something to attach fans so they blow over components

case manufacturers too focused on rgb and tempered glass bullshit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[aezakmi]

don't know if it exists where u live but the Orient X2 has great airflow, but the model is a bit weird

the brand isn't really known because they're chinese

totally agree! thats why im trying to just focus and what matters right now, airflow

The only reason you have fans in a case is to supply fresh air.

In an open case there is an abundance of fresh air and the

GPU fans and CPU fans have all the fresh air they need and stay very cool.

The only drawback in this scenario is the VRMs and M.2 will not get active cooling, 

unless you use a downdraft air CPU cooler.

Then all is good.

I get great temps.

If you are fine with M-atx motherboards, then  the Thermaltake core V21 can be made to consist of just fans,(but you will need to buy 2 cases for that and take some components from the second case, because they only supply 2 fan mounting rails per case, and 2x mesh panels and 1x window.) Take this picture, but instead of an window top panel, imagine 4x more 120mm fans on the top.

You can add 2x 140mm to the right of the case, 2x 140 to the left, 2x 140 front, or 1x 200mm, 1x 140 to the back, and 4x 120mm.

 

Here is one with front 200mm rgb fan:

I think this one is a pass... looks really Chinese, closed off front, full of RGB.

 

I thought it shows under my avatar that im from Denmark, but maybe Im worng...

I am only trying to see whats out there, no budget, so no need to limit yourself, hit me with what would be the best airflow case today.

 

thanks for the try though

It looks like something I might do.... A Frankencase! Totally hack things together....

But I did honestly have something more polished in mind this time around...

It is polished, but they supply only 2x fan mount rails, and if you want to have 4 + 2+2 +3 fans in the case you need 4 of these rails.

But i have it the default configuration, so gpu side has a window, and top is covered with fans, 1x 140 in the back and the included 1x 200 in the front. 

The included 200mm fan moves a lot of air, i must say.

So something like this, but the left sidepanel and top one are switched in my case:

yeah it's the type of stuff asians like

 

the Corsair Air 540 but it's an old model

most cases nowadays are just black boxes with a glass side panel and shiny lights inside, 0 airflow

I have the 730T and has a pretty decent airflow

If you want more pictures you can check them out here, you can also search for components, to see what they look like in the case:

[AT0MAC]

Im just looking at Lian Li PC-10N that looks pretty interesting for airflow, specially with those fans right over the CPU/VRM area

 

http://www.lian-li.com/pc-10n/

 

well it might also look rather outdated, but maybe im looking at it all wrong, maybe a chiller and some insulation would be worth looking into instead...
