as in another company is gonna target the overpriced fans market?
Farados55@reddit
Who beats noctua for noise to performance ratio?
One_Breakfast_4589@reddit
Thermaltake
Strazdas1@reddit
Thermalright.
kikimaru024@reddit
Alphacool, Arctic, be quiet, Endorfy, Iceberg Thermal, Lian Li, Phanteks, Scythe...
strongdoctor@reddit
I think you need to re-read what they said, Arctic doesn't really have a fan that comes close right now.
kikimaru024@reddit
I know what was said.
P12 Max gives good noise-to-performance.
Impossible_Jump_754@reddit
P-12 are overrated, they all have a weird noise.
kikimaru024@reddit
P12 Max are better than vanilla.
strongdoctor@reddit
For their price yes, otherwise A12 are much more pleasant to listen to IMHO. A12 isn't worth the price though, to be fair, unless you really do want the best noise to performance rn
The-Choo-Choo-Shoe@reddit
There is like 1 fan better and it's a 30mm thick one.
anokm2@reddit
I mean…
DullAd8129@reddit
what beat an audigy 2 zs platinum pro?
Huge-MASSS@reddit
super interested in this case, going to replace my corsair 4000D

So they went with a flat air ramp to the GPU, while showing that the scoop was worse.
At the same time we just got the new Meshify 3 with the scoop. I wonder where the difference could be; assuming fractal did similar testing.
DerAltePirat@reddit
The scoop that the Meshify 3 uses has a pretty different shape from the one that HAVN didn't use.
kikimaru024@reddit
Noctua chuds will replace the fans with Noctuas because they've gaslit themselves into believing they're "better".
mewenes@reddit
It's an advert? Where are the tests?
Chrystoler@reddit
Oh boy just wait until you see the floor coverage of computex
Like you know they're touring companies and factories right now in Taiwan, no shit they're not doing their lab tests lol
Ireeb@reddit
It's called "news", as in "reporting new and upcoming products". GN does that sometimes.
iDontSeedMyTorrents@reddit
This is a preview from Computex.
Z3r0sama2017@reddit
Beautiful not turd brown fans with good performance
RTX_69420@reddit
I'm interested in the case just because it doesn't seem cheap and flexible.
threehuman@reddit
Kinda wish gn would do a round up of barging bin cases
BrightCandle@reddit
Companies mostly just want to send reviewers their more expensive products so we tend to get reviews of those rather than the bargain stuff that has tighter margins. Its really quite hard to find reviews for budget stuff to know if its a bargain or just junk.

I've been using junk AliExpress cases and they are fine.
It's just a case to box parts. Unless you're building a high end PC, it doesn't matter what the thermals are.
And really, the big thing is glass side panels and modern case designs are worse for cooling than cheap junk.
BrightCandle@reddit
I have watched a few videos now showing that all you want is rear and top fans anyway, anything that blows into the case often hurts performance by disrupting the air from going up.
GabrielP2r@reddit
They just made a video about budget cases lol
b_86@reddit
And it doesn't even need to be expensive or premium. After working on my Jonsplus Z20 which has the thickest frame I've seen in a case and properly sturdy side and internal panels, everything else feels like it's made of cardboard.
Daffan@reddit
Noctua has been dead to me ever since Hyper212 and now Thermalright.
Dangerman1337@reddit
Seems cool, wonder if they'll do those fans in white and offer CPU Coolers that use said fans as well?
anokm2@reddit
This looks real promising
