H100i GTX and Storm Trooper cases
here are just a few things i really liked
it handles—makes life so much easier. it’s fully loaded, but the handle is metal underneath and securely riveted onto the 2.5 hot plug slot. found that really handy to just drop an ssd in for work. the hidden drawer at the bottom is great, and the rubber coating on the case keeps spare screws in place. it isn’t a fingerprint magnet like some cases, and there’s excellent cable management.
It seems you also took off the top fan, and it no longer fits properly. Did your radiators push air outward from the top of the case? Yes, I removed the top and no longer fit any more. The radiators were blowing air inward to circulate cooler air through them.
the air moves naturally upward from beneath the handle and through the grills, without requiring a fan. i also used the internal fan control.
You can consider adding two fans at the bottom, but it depends on your setup. Is that a poor choice? You should be able to manage all fans via the controller. Bottom fans could help by returning air upward more effectively.
Your water cooler had fans at the top of the radiator beneath it, blowing air through the radiator in the computer.
yes and i tested it with the fans running, the temp drop was about 2c which is very close. a slightly higher cpu usage would have covered that or other factors.
