Is the case designed to ensure strong air circulation, and does it deliver efficient temperature regulation?
Is the case designed to ensure strong air circulation, and does it deliver efficient temperature regulation?
I was considering purchasing this product: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...-_-Product. However, I need to check if it offers good airflow. My existing case has extremely poor airflow and causes high temperatures.
I also looked at another option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...gnorebbr=1. I prefer the design of this one, but the first model has more fan mounts.
I'm planning to include these fans in the design:

They should handle over 4 mmh2o static pressure. It seems like a strong fan. If it's available in PWM mode and your board supports it, I'd choose that.
Yes, the top-mounted fans won't significantly change performance, and side-mounted fans also don't impact airflow.
The Cougar Turbine fans operate quietly but lack strong static pressure. Using a grill or filter design could alter airflow. It's preferable to use fewer large fans with high static pressure rather than many small ones with low pressure.

Strong fan user
But 42dba is extremely loud^^
For optimal airflow, consider a case with a 180/200mm intake.
These fans move more air while producing less noise
A larger case also helps maintain better temperatures due to increased space
I already have two setups using them as push/pull on my radiator, they run very quietly when idling
Only during gameplay do they get noisy. Even then, I usually wear a headset, so it's fine
At full speed, a lot of air rushes out from the back of the case—it's powerful enough to make curtains move
And it also makes the calendar hang 3ft above the back of the PC
