<@328746034337415168> yo is this the td500 mesh v2
Yep very solid case all round and comes with fan hub and fits a 360mm rad at the top without being a massive case and ram clearance is no issue. The CM aio came with a 5 to 1 argb header so I was able to plug in the lights of the aio, pump face light and exhaust fan into the same cable (front fans rgb connected already) then chuck that on the fan hub so having them in sync was automatic on boot. Things to note is when I was screwing in exhaust fan you gotta be careful not to screw too tight because that area of metal is thinner that elsewhere and can bend but only done very tightly. It’s quite a high airflow case so dust build up will be accelerated if you have it in a dusty environment such as on the floor etc and the fans can be quite loud when running above 75% due to the open mesh but I was willing to make that sacrifice for better cooling performance, I just tweaked fan curves to suit my liking. Another bonus was my giant brick of a 4080 was an easy fit and not jammed up against the front fans so airflow is not scrambled and the support bracket fits nicely too so no sag. I considered other cases including the bottom fan glass design but went for this as there was winter sales in my country and this case was cheapest by a mile and still meeting my high end specs needs. Gpu doesn’t run higher than 54 deg C under gaming and cpu not higher than 65 atm (60gpu and 79cpu under stress test) so extremely happy with the temps.
