Ultimate case for air cooling?

LupoLover · 17 May 2013 at 10:25

I have a MM UFO that I used to use as I was water cooling. After realizing its such a pain to drain the loops for new components I have gone back to air cooling. High end air cooling seems just as good for me. However I have this HUGE MM UFO case that I doubt is best for air cooling. Whats the bast case for air cooling? I will sell my MM UFO and buy whatever case is regarded as the best for air cooling! I want to purchase a Phanteks Ph-TC14PE so that will have to fit in it!

Thanks

Sheldon

Anything massive will be good. Corsair 900d, or the cheaper 800d. I found my Silverstone Raven RV02 a very good smaller air cooling case, as the board is mounted differently, and I personally think it looks the business.

The new fractal design midi r2 is an excellent air cooling case.

The RV series and FT series are very good for air cooling.

800D and 900D are watercooling cases..

Silverstone FT02, had one, amazing case, especially for air cooling

I say the 900d will be a great air cooling case as well due to amount of fan mounts.

Worth selling my MM UFO case and getting one of the mentioned cases? I fold and game and general messing around with PC.

Silverstone raven rv03 "rv02 evolution" or ft02

If you like those garish looking cases but I have to admit the Coolermaster HAF X would be a good case.

Another vote for the FT02 - superb.

Having had a HAF-X I can vouch for its air cooling - I ran 2 x 5870's and an i7 950 at 4.0 in it. Was a bit of a dust magnet and the filters could be better on it though. Also as mentioned the styiling is not to everyones taste. Have heard good things about the FT02 as well but was suprised to see the 800D mentioned as this is mainly used as a watercooled case (mine turns up Monday

)

Raven RV02 Enthusiast / RV03 if you can't shell out for the FT02.

I've been using an XClio Windtunnel for the last few years. It keeps my overclocked quad core CPU and GTX 680 running fine at a cast temp of 17 degrees with nothing other than its own fans and the CPU sink that OCUK supply with the Krypton bundle. You can't get them any more, unfortunately, but if I had to replace mine it would be with something like the case they made based on the Airbus A380 jet intake.

Definitely one of the big Silverstone cases.

They have had the added advantage of not looking hideous like the HAF series.
