Perhaps it will prove useful 😁

Thanks 😁

It isn't brand new from the retailer, but it remains in pristine condition and carries a year of warranty left.🤣

I was looking at it for $133, but I’m not sure. I checked out some reviews, but opinions seem pretty split, so I'm still undecided. 😉

Same here 😁 here is my final list

I’m picking one of these right now and I need you to choose. I don't care about the price tag or how many fans come pre-installed; I only care about raw airflow performance.

Corsair twelve hundred v3
Cooler Master Hyper 212
LC Power 976B
Thermaltake N21
Zalman z3 plus

One of these has to be the winner. I've been researching this for ages and still can't make up my mind.😁

I’ve been browsing some recommendations online after receiving a little birthday cash 😁 so I have a question:

Or should I just stick with the Cooler Master Hyper 212+?

The number of included fans isn't the priority since I could always buy extras, but which chassis would be better to start with and then add fans to?

I noticed the LC CC 95 has fan speed control, though I'm unsure if that applies to everything.

Ultimately, which one is the smarter purchase if I plan on adding fans later?

😁

That’s what I figured. I'll go with that one then. Thanks again.

It’s a good thing you mentioned that; I just canceled my order for it 😁 so now I need a recommendation for a CPU cooler. I don't need fans just yet. Is the Cooler Master Liquid CPU Cooler any good, or is there something better at a similar price point?

I suppose I call everything a "cooler," even if calling it a CPU cooler is technically more accurate. Still, it feels like a bit of a gamble; without that top fan, I’m worried about overheating once I start overclocking my Core i7-4770K.

Much appreciated.

Now I am curious about one thing. Since I'm eyeing the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ because of those top exhausts, does anyone know of a decent, budget-friendly cooler with LED lighting? Given the setup has four fans—front, rear, and two on top—where would be the best spot to add more? And which specific LED model would you recommend?

Fair enough, but I already own a Cooler Master Liquid CPU Cooler. Is there any way I could mount it somewhere else in the case?

Is there even any point in putting it in a case?

Does the Corsair Deathclaw feature four fans or just three? I can't find anything definitive since they don't have an official site, and various forums seem to disagree. All I know for sure is that two LEDs are lit up. 😁
Can't those upper coolers be installed on the Deathclaw?

The NZXT Nova looks sharp, but does it really come with only one cooler?
I can't find any actual info on the Corsair Deathclaw beyond how it looks.
The Cooler Master Hyper 212+ seems decent, but is an extra cooler even necessary? I know the Core i7-4770K comes with its own, and while I'm no expert, I suspect I might need more. 😁

My current build consists of

Intel Core i7 4770K
NVIDIA GTX 970
FORTRON 600W PSU
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P
HYPERX FURY 8GB 1866MHZ RAM
Cooler Master Liquid CPU Cooler
1TB Hard Drive NZDT

I am looking for case recommendations under $117 that offer decent airflow. I was considering a used Cooler Master Hyper 212 or perhaps a Cooler Master Hyper 212+, but is there a better option out there?
