I have 600LX and airflow is very poor, especially for GPU
They look good but I wasn’t sure about thermals, even after populating all fan positions available. Decided to go from the North to the North XL and it was a good call. No RGB here, so no benefit for dual chamber, despite being a good looking showcase.

I'm surprised at that, given how many locations there are for fans. Why do you think it is so poor?

Seems that the problem is that the panels just don't have enough holes in them!
Shame, I was interested in getting one and doing a horizontal PC instead of the normal vertical. It would be something very different. But I am not going to do that at the expense of cooling.
I wish I had one to play with! I would like to see if anything can be done to improve air circulation. I still love the idea of making a horizontal PC for a real change.

I posted this on youtube, but Im interested in your thoughts, I have a 900FX black:
Steve is clearly twisting the feet with his fingers easily, I cannot do this at all, it takes a good bit of force to twist into the holes.
I have zero of the manufacturing defects he had, apart from the odd choice to leave a gap on the glass, I found no obvious visual flaw.
I bought Pure wings 140mm high flow fans for the side fans, intending on doing a left to right airflow. So I'm hoping that it gives me good temps. But the case is huge and it look great!

If you will put 3 fans under the GPU temps will be great
I bought 6x additional fans, intending to have them run on the sides. 100% planning to have the GPU side on input fans bringing in that cool air.
For the CPU side, not sure what to do? I also have access to 3x thermistors from the mobo. Really confused what to do with those

Just had a white 600 LX delivered and wondered if anyone has used a shorter psu cable set with a rear connect motherboard, what length cables do you recommend?
I'm also looking to get a set of 3 reverse fans to go in the bottom, but does this fit if you put your gpu on the vertical holder and pcie riser cable?
