Hi, ive noticed the a120 and a140fc fans are now for sale in a few places including coolermasters official store, however i cant find any english reviews for them, and the few non english ones i can find dont go into alot of detail or compare them with other fans. Also one thing im confused about, the fc variants come with a controller. Does this mean i wont be able to control the full rpm automatically through pwm on my pc? Do i have to use the controller? I dont really want a controller i just want the higher rpm of the fc version

Hi im looking at the phanteks NV7, and it has a back cable routing compartment, and im just worried about how big of usbs will fit? I cant find anyone mentioning the depth of the usb and display outputs to the back cover annoyingly, so a specific depth would be nice, as well as anyone having any comments about it who personally have the case. Would a usb wifi adapter fit? Since they can get pretty long for example. Do the cables get too close to the back panel and bend them tightly?

Hiya, i have a 9850x3d, 6900xt, and arctic 3 pro 240mm aio, and im looking to upgrade case for better cooling. My intention isnto provide fresh air to both the aio and gpu with minimal mixing, so im mainly looking at triple chamber cases for this. The ones ive seen that have peaked my interest are:

Corsair 5400 - this is really the only one that separates them the best way with proper chambers. Though i have a couple issues with it, being how wide it is, its usb-c only which is just impractical (i use usb sticks quite often so), very limited drive bays (1 3.5" or 2 2.5" (though some sources say it has a 3.5 and 2 2.5 bays?)), the side aio exhaust being fully open just looks bad (come on couldnt they have atleast put a mesh on it) also its costly considering it has all these annoyances.

Lian li sup-01 - this one looks like it provides better thermals for the gpu due to direct intake and exhaust, but im worried about aio recirc due to the fan placements for it, especially if the right side is placed closer to a wall. Its also lacking much if any motherboard cooling, as it has one external fan that completely blocks the pcie slots on the back if used, and even if you could use them, theyre half sized. Annoyingly i cant find much info about thermals online in comparison to other cases, it hasnt been documented much. Also im worried about how using a rizer cable may effect performance, some people did mention they get interference due to how long it is and how close it routes to other cables

Phanteks nv7 - this ones not really seperate cooling so much, but my idea is to have the 240 aio on the upper side of the case, then gpu intake at the bottom, and since the aios higher up the air coming into the case has a direct path to exhaust without touching the gpu which may cool both better. It also looks cool

Phanteks Ex5 / Ex series (unreleased) - this one looks pretty good for what i want, but it only has pcie slots for the gpu alone, and theres no info about drice bay counts with it being unreleased

Lian li 011d evo v2 (unreleased) - this one looks like a better version of the 5400 since it's finner as the aios mounted on the side instead of the front, with an optional panel to cover the aio and funnel air from the front directly into it and exhausted. It also has little info on, ands set to come out q4 2026 which is quit a bit of a wait.

Im open to more suggestions too, i keep thinking ive found all the options then another pops up. Dont worry about the price if you think theres a good fit for me, id still rather know about it even if its too much 😅. Though $300 / £250 probably is a cut off for me.
