Django Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Gaming case recommendations please for: # High airflow case with a view to CPU air OCing. # That will sensibly fit a Noctua NH D15 CPU cooler. # Will be set up for +ve air pressure. # Midi or full tower. # I do not need see through side panels. # Ideally up to around £100. Some cases I've looked at: Cooler Master H500 Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition Phanteks Enthoo Pro Phanteks P600s Regards, Django. | BMS | DCS OB | A-10C II | AV-8B | F-16C | F/A-18C | FC3 | Persian Gulf | Supercarrier | Tacview | XP11 | FF A320 | FF 757 | | I7-9700K + NH-D15 | RTX3080Ti 12GB | DDR4-3200 16GB | Aorus Z390 Ultra | 2X Evo 860 1TB | 850W | Torrent Case | | Warthog HOTAS + CH Pedals | 32" TV 1080p 60Hz | TrackIR5 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnadentod Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I don't know what you mean by +ve air pressure but here: Lian Li Lancool One. Note it has different color versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_ Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think he means "positive air pressure in the case", when intake fans combined airflow is greater than exhaust. To prevent dust from entering through the holes. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnadentod Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I was wondering where these terms come from and who uses them. Never heard +ve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnadentod Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 ... Not sure about the positive air pressure thingy though... As long as you can mount a decent number of case fans you can decide yourself if your case has positive, neutral or negative pressure by mounting them accordingly.

Django Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 2 vs 3 front fan cases, is this a limitation for OCing? I was probably going to go for the Enthoo Pro but the design seems a bit dated compared to say the H500.

Gnadentod Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Depends on the size of the fans and the design of the case in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
