Couple of photos from now, sorry about the flash. The slots under the GPU are removed to help improve flow. The top 140mm is linked to the CPU temp, the bottom one is linked to the temperature probe that goes into the GPU from the motherboard (you can see it going up to the GPU past the open slots), so they spin up independently.

Oh, very nice

Have you thought about standoff’s for your side panel? Odd suggestion but might work

That would likely leave a very large amount of space for dust/air to come in or out of though I would have thought, unless you find a way to seal it.

Do you think I should go for another case?
Looked at the Meshify C but more expensive and possibly less airflow from the front?

Scythe is fine but the warranty is only 2 years and how do you contact them after say 1 1/2 years if the fan packs in?
Their website seems to have disappeared.

Noctua is 6 years and easier to contact perhaps?

As |Unseul has said, Meshify is a good case but has horrible fans. But 2x PH-F140MP fans are only £16.26

Other cases I like are Enthoo Pro Glass RGB (not Pro M) £109.99 The included 140mm fans are basically same fans as MPs but with 1200rpm variable voltage motors, and 1200rpm is fast enough. Nice thing about Enthoo Pro (and Enthoo Luxe .. same case with different front and top) is the 2 bottom filters can easily be made into one long filter that slides out the front so both bottom and front filters can be cleaned without moving case.

There are several other Enthoo Pro cases but stick with the ones that have 140mm front fans. The 200mm fan is worthless and it take 3x 120mm fans to move same air as 2x 140mm of same design and 140mm will be quieter as well.

Meshify c filters can be removed without moving the case too.

Thanks guys.
My final decision is made.
Going for the meshify and I’ll get the F140MP’s. Also the Mugen 5, looks good
