Quick Question Guys, Is 1000 RPM enough for gaming? As case fans.

They could advertise a million RPM and it might need even be enough for the fans to take in fresh air through a solid piece of glass at the front.

This case looks neat as a show piece, but keep in mind that sort of design is not good for airflow (and thus temps and noise) as it chokes the fans in the front.

It is, but after all, you should know how to work around any case thrown at you ;)

I own that exact case and while cable management on this one isn't the easiest, a few zip ties with correct cable routing makes it look super neat. One thing I do have to complain about is the lack of a PSU shroud for such a good case, but I'm planning to obtain a third party one to glorify it to it's maximum :)

I like hanging out and conversing about tech and stuff, commuting from forums to discord every so often.

I mean If I'm playing games like GTA, LOL, OW and Rise of the tomb raider would my temps sky rocket?

That will be hard to say, as it all depends on your ambient temperature (basically how hot/cold it is in your room). But the 8700K and 1080 Ti are not really know for being very cool cards, so if you were to use them at 100%, they would get pretty hot and thus make some noise. 

 

Unfortunately this is not a case that a ton of people use, thus there are not a lot of reviews on it and I can't judge how the thermals actually are. It just kinda looks like a design like the P400S; which blocks off most airflow in the front causing components to run hot.

Could you recommend me a case that has both rgb and air flow?

You could get the Meshify C, which is actually a very good case and get a set of RGB fans, like the Corsair LL or Thermaltake Riing fans.

Truthfully I don't really care about PC fan RGB, so I don't know what the best RGB fans are.

 

The Corsair 570X looks to be a pretty good choice in terms of what airflow it gives, I would assume the 460X (the kind of smaller version of it) is similar.

There aren't enough review of the FSP case to really be able to judge it, so I can only judge it by the pictures of the design.

That being said, Nzxt makes quite a few cases, which are all really different. For example their H series of cases have quite good airflow, their previous cases gens were more average.

Looks good. For almost the same price you could head towards a Corsair Spec-Omega RGB if you want another good case to check out.

Corsair spec omega has bad airflow.

And the hex screw instead of thumbscrew for its tempered glass side panel is just annoying

I'm like a super big fan of RGB and I just wanted to know what's your thoughts about this case.

My advice? Buy a good case and add RGB, dont buy a bad case with RGB installed. 

 

If you're just want a plug and play experience but also a good case, Get the Corsair 460X RGB, or Phanteks Enthoo Pro M SE
