Cooling is fine. It just needs static pressure fans due to the filter.
I like older cases as well, but due to different reasons written above... just can no longer get them.
Managed to stick a fan under the bottom, no change to GPU temps... The CPU went down by 2 degrees, however, so I guess it does have its use -- gonna keep the fan in there!
A good revelation today is that static pressure fans are needed even for intakes. I'd been firmly believing air flow is...
My bottom mount position is a tangled mess of PSU power lines:X Gonna tidy them up and try that next. Currently though I'm not sure if: a. the bottom intake is just gonna disrupt the airflow from the front and blow air up; b. does add cool air and does help; c. bottom and front cancels each...
Fan Blues 2
Well, switched to 3x120mm fans on front, just old ones from old case.
GPU temp drops by 2 deg C compared to 2x140mm. Despite mostly blocked by the PSU shroud, the bottom 120mm still contributes some airflow - felt it by hand using speedfan to adjust speed settings. On 2x140mm the...
Fan Blues
Well the Noctua fans are a bit of a disaster for this case. The front panel + filter perhaps changes airflow for the intake somewhat, and anything above 850RPM produces whines, plus the usual humming at high RPM for most fans.
So time to change it up. Had pretty good experience of...
It is better than my old case which has no sound insulation, but have seen friend's PC which mostly can't be heard, so I guess mediocre.
Door makes big difference. Especially when at speed it blocks lots of fan noise.
Here goes the small review. Again case is the Define R6 blackout version, no tempered glass. This is definitely not one for visuals so no pictures - I'm mostly stock and pics wouldn't differ from other ones on the net. Whole thing is just a black blob anyway:D
Case is indeed very nice from the...
New user here, hi all!
Anandtech has always been a great reference for me on hardware for many years, so decided to register and well say something!
I'm not doing a new build at all, but my 10 year old case is resonating the hell outta the HDDs with no fix in sight (tried EVERYTHING, foregone...
