Advice on a case

[alw1971]

Hay everyone I'm really looking forward to joining this community as I love Tom's reviews on everything and I gather It's a good place to get info from so here goes on my first question!

I have a Graphite 600T white on order but It's out of stock at the moment but I'm wondering whether I should cancel it as I've heard It's hard to fit the H100 in there and be affective so I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on a different case that will be decent for this cooler.

I really liked the sleek design of that case but everything that I've seen so far looks a bit square in design or to Coca Cola as in coolermaster cases. Can anyone think of a case that would fit my needs for this cooler.

Any suggestion is really appreciated, cheers Adam.

I would suggest the corsair obsidian 650D, but you do not want a square case.

It looks like a good solid build tbh but i feel that i would be leaving my pretty GF for an ugly one.

I really do have my eye on this case but I'm unsure. Can you get push pull in the top there for the H100?

Cheers for the reply btw.

I'm not sure about push pull, but you could do one of them definitely. I will need to look at the case when I get home to be sure. I will let you know as soon as I can.

EDIT: I've looked around on other forums and some people are saying that a push/pull config only makes a 1 C difference, so it might not be worth it.

Just have two fans inside the case pushing onto the radiator with the radiator in the top?

Cheers again.

Yeh, pushing the heat out is the better option I think. Although I don't think there is a significant difference with whatever configuration you use.

Cheers mate.

I think I've decided on having the top as exaust and the back as intake and front as intake also.

I dont know whether to change the back fan to a more faster higher cfm fan or is right what i hear that i should have a slow fan for intake?

 

[yassarikhan786]

Have the back fan as an exhaust dude.

H100 does not need push pull and it really doesnt make enough difference to the temps to a: pay out money for the fans - and b: change a case because of it.

Stop worrying and just use the 600T white - btw Graphite is the grey case not the white one

 

[alw1971]

Yes i am worried as I am not so sure if I have enough intake with just the one fan in the front. I couldn't bare to look at that mesh on the side of it. On every forum people are harping on about their problems with airflow.

Sorry for bad litrat literatch, English I can't be bothered today it's so bloody hot.

P.s Thankyou for the reply btw and I wont use the backfan as an intake or change the fans for that matter. I hold your knowledge in great regard although you dont really look like you hold so much ;p (even strawb's looks more knowledgable)
