CPU and GPU cooling tests
Aquarium or terrarium? In short, a proper glass (panoramic?) case with a good view of the components. It is not only the appearance that is supposed to be “attractive”, but also the abundant options for cooling, or rather installation of liquid coolers. And reconfiguring the system fans can also make sense with the DeepCool CH780. We chart the differences in the comparison tests as well.

That’s a much better fan rail design than most cases. Further improvement would require a design that only covers the corners of the fans.
For intake vs. exhaust, I’d imagine the reason why exhaust is worse is partly due to the open top. Without a radiator and with only the stock case fans in exhaust orientation, covering the top vents should result in more airflow over the motherboard area. This applies to the intake orientation too, but to a lesser extent since air is thrown towards the general direction of the components.
Thanks for the great review. This is a very nice case and I am excited to build in it.
My current plan is: AIO top exhaust, side block in take, bottom 3 fans intake.
This config provides too little exhaust vs intake. Because of this, I am considering alternatives described in configs 1 and 2.
https://ibb.co/RNtqzFx – config 3
https://ibb.co/xJRsJ3J – config 1
https://ibb.co/CQJrB0v – config 2
I’m leaning towards config 1 bc there’s actually slightly more intake as there’s 3x140mm + 1×120 vs 5x 120mm with aio interfering with 3.
Config 2 would be too close to negative air pressure, leading to dust build up inside case.
