Review on 💨 Maximize Cooling Efficiency: FRACTAL DESIGN Meshify Airflow Tempered Case by Jnis Bisters ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

As a result, my system at 9700k and 2070 fit back to back. Installation of CBO is swept aside immediately. The whole body is "studded" with turntables. Yes, these are wonderful noise blockers, but nonetheless. Six fans create (or try to create in order to squeeze the volume of air in the resulting tightness) noise. Yes, it is much lower than it could be with cheap coolers, but it is there (nobody canceled the sound of the air flow, you can't deceive physics). Due to the "tight layout" turntables cannot be operated in "near-stand by" mode. Otherwise, all the "offal" will inevitably begin to warm up. In general, I'm not happy. I'm looking for an alternative. I don’t know who has “acceptable” temperatures in “silent” mode. I do not believe in this. Sorry. Maybe on some i5-8400 and without a video card. Then yes. In general, I noticed a bad trend in the world of mATX cases. One gets the impression that they can collect either media centers, or something near the "calculator power" with a low TDP. It is sad. Especially against the background of the fact that there are mATX motherboards on the market, which are much more interesting in terms of functionality and price than their full-sized sisters.

Pros
  • In fact, the advantages of this case is not so much. 1. Good ventilation (with reservations) 2. Compactness 3. Cable management is no better or worse than models in this price segment. He is normal. Familiar, let's say, for a case in this price segment.
Cons
  • Perhaps my subjective judgments, but, no matter how strange it may sound, the case is painfully compact inside. Yes, it is designed only for mATX motherboards, but can't systems built on mATX be productive? If you assemble a bunch of components with an "above average" level in this case, it becomes crowded inside. No. VERY tight. And all of its (body) "perforation" already ceases to be such a clear advantage. Air cooling towers fit far from everything that is critical for productive, but very hot modern processors. Installing "nedovodyanki" also causes difficulties. Everything depends on the length of the video card. Those. it is no longer possible to choose "what you want", you need to constantly look at the dimensions. If you put the heatsink on the top grill, it may be difficult to be compatible with the "body kit" (radiators and other trims-decorations of power circuits) of the motherboard. In any case, "stick" something more or less productive will not work. ing "whatever, if only it fits" does not give much profit in comparison with those CPU air cooling towers that fit here. What prevented the Swedes from designing an extra 5 centimeters in length - I don’t know. It would not have affected the appearance much, but it would have added profit noticeably. I’m not talking about such “little things” as thin, no, the thinnest metal, the shortness of the front panel by connectors (only 2 usb ports in 2022, well, that’s all). This has been said by others in their reviews.
