[SOLVED] 275r airflow VS 4000d airflow

[smartmantech47]

Hi guys, I'm planning for a build. I'm looking for a case and I'm confused to choose between 4000d airflow and 275r airflow. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Actually you would want a rear exhaust fan for sure then.
Hmm...
Here is what i would do:
Put 1x rear exhaust, 1x top exhaust (above the cpu cooler) and 1x front fan down on the bottom.
Rear and Top exhaust will for sure make your cpu's life easier, the front fan is for the GPU.

For the case choice, i'd go with the p400a since its already comes with 3 rgb fans.
If rgb is not the thing, you can go for the 4000D airflow.
Note that you can ofcourse turn the RGB off.

IMO... go with the one you like, as you are are only talking a degree or two difference in stock performance between the too cases (see the review). If you like the RGB, the p400a is your choice, or you can replace the 4000D fans with RGB for the look but spending more money.

So no difference between the two?

Airflow wise?
Hardly any.

 

[smartmantech47]

Other specs?

Other specs?

Pretty much the same.
Both have 3 fan slots on the front, 2 on top, 1 on the rear.
Both have cutouts on the front which allows air to travel from the outside of the chassis, inside it.
Both have the same radiator support:
360mm on the front ; 280mm on the top ; 140mm (i think its 140mm) on the rear.
Both have nice, clean design imo.
4000D has 170mm coole height tolerance, the P400A has 160mm, so keep that in mind if ur going with a Air cooler.

Hi guys, I'm planning for a build. I can't seem to decide about a case. There are lots of great cases out there being the corsair 275r airflow, the 4000d airflow, and the phanteks 400a. I can't seem to choose. I'm on a budget. The 275r airflow is smaller and has worse cable management than the 4000d airflow, so I guess it's out. But I can't choose between the 4000d airflow and 400a. 4000d airflow is more expensive, but I feel like it's better. it anticipates higher cooler height but doesn't support eatx. On the other hand, the 400a supports eatx but, has less cooler height. I feel like corsair is more reliable. Open to suggestions. If also, can you help me get a CPU cooler under 60 bucks that can cool upto i9? I'll buy an i3 10100 but I need a cooler that will last as I'm not willing to buy another cooler. Thanks in advance.

 

[Dj0gany]

U gonna use EATX?
If not, you dont need it.
$60 air cooler?

[smartmantech47]

That's the problem, I don't know if I will use eatx in the future

 

[smartmantech47]

Ok I'll get that cooler it's on Amazon for 50 bucks

Don't expect that cooler to cool a i9 like a 10900K.

 

[smartmantech47]

Don't worry I won't overclock

 

[smartmantech47]

I've heard the 4000d airflow supports eatx, is that true?

No, it doesnt support EATX.

 

[Dj0gany]

If you are just gaming, you wont be thinking of EATX motherboard in your life.

 

[smartmantech47]

Why is that? Couldn't future motherboard be eatx? And also, p400a vs 4000d airflow, what would you go for? (Based on price and performance and specs)

4000D Airflow is my favourite modern case.
That is why i recommended it to you in your 50+ threads of case choosing xD
Motherboard that have EATX form factor are ussually those like workstation/gaming motherboard, like the ones for Threadripper or Intel 5h gen cpu's.
There are some Z490/X570 that are Eatx, but they are really expensive.

 

[smartmantech47]

Yea and I'm not looking for a thread ripper or a mobo that costs 400 bucks XD

 

[smartmantech47]

It's just cuz I'm on a budget, so I want something cheap and good.

Is nzxt h510 good? I think it's not good for airflow.

Its terrible.
Lookswise, its one of the cleanest cases out there, but airflow wise its not good.
A closed front panel with 1x rear and 1xtop exhaust for $70 is a awful deal imo.

 

[smartmantech47]

I could buy a 275r airflow that comes with 3 fans and better airflow for the same price almost. What's the difference between the 275r airflow and 4000d airflow since I don't need eatx and both almost have the same airflow? Spec wise and airflow wise what's the difference?

Go to your other thread where i commented on the 275r vs 4000d topic.

Even at stock settings that cooler is not going to cool a i9.
