Ok, that’s fine.
I’ll keep posting nonsense and should get to 250 fairly soon

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?

If you add two of the 140mm phanteks fans to the meshify c (140mp I believe is the model, two pack should be around £17) that sorts the airflow, since they generate enough pressure to overcome the mesh. The mesh gets very dusty, which is exactly what it's supposed to do. Mine has been running now for nearly a couple of months and the internals still look spotless (not continual use, 9+ hours most days though). I have an aro-m14 in mine, and that's apparently 162mm tall, and I'd guess I have 2-3mm of clearance left with that one in, so it might be a tight fit with a d15.
They haven't gone anywhere:

Anyway haven't had any of 30k hour rated basic sleeve bearing SlipStreams fail in short time.
So unless having "infant mortality" case, more advanced bearing Kaze Flexes should run easily many times longer.
And unlike water pipes, heat pipes are extremely reliable.

Buys a 1080ti, can't afford another 40 quid for an AIO - classic!
And how do you know what I can afford? £40 saved here goes towards the cost of a very expensive, for me anyway, GPU!
Exactly, well said that man.
Ah, thanks. They weren’t up for a couple of days.
Kaze fans do sound good.
Agree completely about heat pipe coolers.
Leaning towards Meshify C with extra fans.
As I said, I've got the meshify c (really like it), and the two phanteks fans have made a big difference, dropped my internal temps by 10C over the supplied 120mms.
It's possible that the ARO-M14 specs are off, it's possible that fractal design are off, but I have the M14 installed and whilst there's a a bit of space, there's never another 10mm.

Good to know Unseul.
What made you pick Phantek?
@doyll . He linked me to some accurate measurements for fans, and recommended the phanteks as a set that produced very good pressure ratings at decent noise levels. Pressure is important for overcoming obstacles, and the foam at the front is quite an obstacle. I didn't get the 2 pack, since it wasn't in stock then, but did get 2, and put both at the front. Moved one of the case fans to the back of the case, so it's aligned with the big CPU cooler, to help smooth out airflow a bit.
So you moved the original front fan to the back? What about the existing exhaust fan?
Or am I being daft?
To start I moved both supplied fans to the front, more important to draw air in, but I don't think they were actually doing anything over the resistance. Then I moved one of them to exhaust, and threw the other in the cupboard, since it won't fit under my graphics card (which would be the next place I'd like to exhaust air out smoothly.
Ah right. That all makes sense and the high static pressure helping.
Saw a YouTube review where they added another couple of 120mm Cooler Master fans to the front to be like the RL06 case with the amazing airflow.
It was only a few degrees out but can’t remember what the fans actually were.
The 140’s defo sounds better.
I like the 2x 140mm, since I can do that without having to open the bottom section up, I can leave that completely isolated for PSU and cables (and hdd tray, but I removed that). I have one connected high, and one connected low, so the CPU and GPU are both receiving solid clean airflow.
Sounds very good. Any pictures?
