Anything is better than NZXT cases. I've built many of them for clients, and absolutely despise their airflow. Literally suffocate builds. They look nice and clean, don't get me wrong, but from an airflow aspect, they are lacking severely.My H510i is such a POS with airflow. I literally have 2 jet fans involved(1 pull and 1 push) to compensate for the miserable temps I get with it.
How is the airflow with this thing? Really miss a full tower and considering biting on this.
P600s here, run with the front off since I put in the 3070ti, very quiet gaming with a 3900x and d15Anything is better than NZXT cases.

Can't really go wrong with fractal. I prefer phanteks or Lian-li, but fractal is also damn good. But some alternatives, for mid towers, Phanteks p600s (three different color options), Lian-Li 011 dynamic. Full tower, Lian-li 011 XL ROG, or personal favorite and current system, Phanteks Enthoo 719. Can't say nothing but good thinks with my enthoo 719, spacious, dual system support, good airflow, and good build quality. Watercooling potential on the enthoo 719 is fantastic, so many options, with fill and drain cutouts already built into the case. But all the cases I mentioned have great airflow.
I was gonna go with the p600s myself in white (have a white build). But wanted to use my 420mm rad still, also decided on dual system so went with the enthoo 719. Can definitely say though, next mid tower I build myself, p600s will be my stop, gorgeous case.P600s here, run with the front off since I put in the 3070ti, very quiet gaming with a 3900x and d15

Will the 420 not fit? I run 3 140s up front. manual lists 465mm of max clearance.I was gonna go with the p600s myself in white (have a white build).

My bad, should of been more clear on my setup. A 420mm would fit in the front, but I have a thick 420mm rad, 45mm. Also wanted to have a 360 top, the clearance wouldn't work out in the p600s. So went for the 719 instead, and opted with the ability for a dual system setup, which I'm following up on now.Will the 420 not fit? I run 3 140s up front. manual lists 465mm of max clearance.
I'm with you. It's a decent sized case, but it's definitely not full sized like your setup seems to need.My bad, should of been more clear on my setup.

Fractal define 7 XL still pretty quiet? I have a define R5 and love it, but its a little on the small side but I like silence. I also use a bluray burner so I need the 5.25 bays which many new cases dont have. Think Fractal define 7 xl would be good? Pretty expensive at $200 but...

Do your drives have the 5 second ticking for the wear prevention sweep? if so how do you stand it?I legitimately can't hear a thing in the case except for the GPU fans when they're at 100%
I'm running 6x 140mm fans and that one slim 120mm fan underneath the GPU.
I upgraded from a define R5, I'm running 8 mechanical hard drives now (and 4x nvme) though and the R5 was getting pretty damn full.
I honestly have no idea what this is. All of my HDDs except for my old 5TB toshiba (power on time: 1735 days) drive are silent, and that one is only a tiny bit audible if i'm actively writing to it. It was always a loud drive though.Do your drives have the 5 second ticking for the wear prevention sweep? if so how do you stand it?
I was deciding between the 7 XL and the Meshify 2 XL. I don‘t think you can go wrong with either case.
It's all friction. The particular heatsink I have on my 1080Ti (Arctic Accelero Extreme 3) leaves *just* enough room for the 15mm slim fan to rest on the PSU cover and be wedged between the GPU heatsink and the pci slots on the case. It's crazy close, literally 1mm or less clearance between the blades of the heatsink and the blades of the slim fan.TheSlySyl I feel like I might've asked before, but how did you mount that 120mm slim fan underneath your GPU?
