2.So only a 120mm sort of fits. This means that effectively, only the 120mm fan on top pushes all the hot air out. The rear 120mm fan works for the radiator, so airflow is a little restricted.

I ended up going with the Fractal Design Meshify 2. I can fit fans on top, front, and even bottom. Though I might skip the bottom ones. The B550-F mobo only has the ability to support 6 fans. So I am definitely getting a fan controller. For that I went with a Phanteks.

Cases are a huge rabbit hole, so many options.

The Meshify 2 looks pretty good. I'm not big on ATX cases since I'm more SFF, but I really like the new O11 Air Mini. But I think I might jump ship from my H1 to the Cooler Master NR200 Max.

It is a bit overkill, but it gives me a better foundation for future upgrades. I'm mostly looking for even airflow distribution between intake and exhaust. Can't be good to keep the current setup for a long time.

Looks like NZXT addressed the airflow problem lol:

Yeah it's pretty bad. But a lot of companies in the tech community get roasted frequently. i.e gigabyte PSU, NZXT H1 fire, MSI being 'shady', ect. Still, I love my H1 so it would be cool if they did the same for that case.

I saw that, but that single top fan slot is my doom. I would still be pulling more air than what I would be pushing out.

Eh a lot of cases just have the one exhaust fan. I'm sure it would be fine.

It was a perfect case when I had the 1660 Super. But this 3070 gets toasty.

Mine does too but keeps reasonably cool. It's my CPU that gets hot. But that's my fault for expecting a 140mm AIO to cool a Ryzen 9 lol

bruh....

Edit: In all fairness, considering that you run a smaller setup, something's gotta give.

Yeah there are compromises. I did swap the NZXT fan out for a BeQuiet so I can run it at 60% till it hits 60c and it's still pretty quiet. I also added two slim Noctua fans in the rear for exhaust. But yeah, I love the H1, but it NEEDS a 240 AIO minimum.

Positive pressure is fine and actually serves as dust mitigation
