Anyone moved on from a Meshify C?

Hi,

Just curious really if you had a Meshify C and moved on from it, if so what to and why?

I dont expect many if any replies as they are great compact air flow cases but getting on a bit now and are quite limited in terms of dimensions for radiators.

Cheers

Wasn't deep enough front-to-back for full-length gpu, pump/res, 60mm rad so moved to an old Define S that I then modded to have a mesh front instead of solid.

I've had a Meshify C for over a year and really liked it, but then wanted change and then went to h200 (which was ok) now on nzxt h1. H1 is very stylish. Worth the money for what you get also if you're thinking of going mini itx.

What do you think about the pump noise seeing as though it runs at full speed all the time?

I think competitors might release similar style cases to get in on the popularity and I do like the NZXT H1 I just think a few things could be better with it

I was worried as well, but the pump noise is completely silent. This PC case is so quiet it’s scary. I’m really surprised tbh. Well worth the money imho

my build
10700k
Asus z490-i

Ok thanks, Im considering a pre order, the footprint is is what's selling it to me more than anything else, not keen on the aio or the pcie 3.0 riser but hopefully they'll sell a 4.0 version to replace it

Well now the pump has started to make a little noise. It was running at 3900rpm in the bios. The bios let me turn down the speed through voltage. It would let me do it at 60% speed It wouldn't go any lower. Which is fine because now running quiet now at 2100rpm. Any higher and it's a slight annoying hum. It was silent up until yesterday. I'm happy I can control speed on my asus z490. It's still amazing case regardless.

Ok thanks for letting me know. I can't stand noise so that's worrying o don't understand why it's not PWM so you can control it in sync with the fan seems an odd choice to me

Agree. I don't understand why NZXT chose 3pin over 4pin PWM? I'm sure they knew that might have some with pump noise issues?

Who knows, I've decided although I love the form factor I'm definitely going to miss out on it and wait to see what others come out with, I'm willing to bet others release similar form factor soon with this being in such high demand
