Appreciate the response. Would a 200mm fan need to be central mounted in the H500? Would I not be better with a 140mm rear mounted fan? I have this image in my mind of air being pulled up before it has chance to reach the back of the case.

I'm looking to add a single extra case fan to the top rear of the CoolerMaster H500 but not sure which to choose. The case currently supports 120mm, 140mm and 200mm top fans and comes with 2x200mm front fans and 1x120mm rear fan. If anyone has any recommendations on fan size and model to keep...

Thanks @Karadjgne Makes sense. I'll look for a decent top fan and add in a good Noctua cooler (y)

Appreciate the help, I'm now leaning towards the NH-U14S as many people seem to suggest it would be fine for the stock 9700k but is not quite as large with only a single tower. At stock I believe the H500 comes with 2x200mm front fans and a rear 120mm fan. My concern with mounting a top rear...

Avoiding the "why would you get a 9700k if you're not going to overclock.." 212x should be fine at stock speeds?

I'm in the process of picking parts for a new build and was wondering if anyone knew whether the Cooler Master H500 benefits much from top mounted fans? I'd be running with the mesh front and don't want to mess up air flow or pressure if the default fan setup is better suited. I'm probably going...

It takes 5-10 seconds to restore a snapshot in VirtualBox which removes all changes to the OS. In the event that your web browser is compromised and the sandbox bypassed it's much easier to restore a snapshot than reinstall your main OS. Also there's a big difference between a browser sandbox...

Hi all, I'm looking for a small form factor PC with low power consumption that would be capable of running windows 7 smoothly in VirtualBox. I have no interest in gaming on this machine as the purpose is simply day to day usage (mostly webbrowsing). Although from a security standpoint it may...
