The FD Meshify 2 Compact is out and we’ve already tested it!

Conclusion

The popular Meshify C case from Fractal Design finally has a successor on the market after five years. It was introduced on this day and brings a new soul in the old body. The fact that the case has undergone significant innovations is also evidenced by the weight gain of more than one and a half kilograms. The new Meshify is not heavier for no reason, also thanks to this it leaves the first generation far behind.

Conclusion

Meshify 2 Compact has proven itself in practical terms, but also showed a solid cooling performance, where it dominates over the current rivals primarily at lower noise levels/speeds. However, this does not degrade it even at higher speeds and keeps pace without any problems. I was quite surprised how it beat the competition when comparing the motherboard MOSFETs temperatures and heating the top of the case.

You will definitely like the quick side panel removal system and the possibility to remove the upper part of the case. In addition, great cooling and great flexibility to adapt to your needs, while the case is marketed at a reasonable recommended price of 108.99 euros. All this predestines the case for the well-deserved earning of the “Smart buy!” award.

The Meshify 2 Compact can be recommended to anyone looking for a smaller PC case for powerful components. Thanks to the large number of positions, you will not be short of storage capacity. I shall also emphasize the decent modularity, which will help in easy installation of components, also if you want to try different cooling options. Dust protection is at a high level even in dusty environments. Very fine nylon filters take care of that. All this gives the case great potential to use it exactly according to your ideas. Whether you’re a gamer or creative.

Duel: Endorfy Navis F360 vs. Fractal Design Lumen S36 V2

We start the new stage of CPU cooler tests on HWCooling with a duel of two AIO liquid coolers. Both the Navis F360 and the Lumen S36 V2 represent the cheapest coolers with a 360mm radiator that Fractal Design (Lumen S36 V2) and Endorfy (Navis F360), respectively, have. Sure, these aren’t downright cheap coolers, but both are associated with very high cooling performance. Read more “Duel: Endorfy Navis F360 vs. Fractal Design Lumen S36 V2” »

PC Cooling Guide: Heating Up Ryzen 9 7950X in Cinebench

Today, we’ll focus on what happens inside a case when a CPU is under heavy load. We’ll run a Cinebench 2024 rendering on a Ryzen R9 7950X cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 G2 air cooler with AM5 offset mounting bars and see how it affects the temperatures and how all the values change with different settings of the system fans’ performance across their entire operating speed range.

PC Cooling Guide: Experimenting with Fractal Design Meshify 2

While building a PC, most people are satisfied when the computer works, performs as expected and remains reasonably quiet. Unless you’re one of those who care more about the journey than the destination, you probably haven’t spent much time tinkering with system cooling. That’s where we come in. We’ll test what makes sense to address and what doesn’t, and how it impacts computer’s performance and behavior. Read more “PC Cooling Guide: Experimenting with Fractal Design Meshify 2” »
