Hey guys,
I'm building a completely new PC from scratch for the first time in over 10 years. A friend of mine helped put together the build for me, as i'm not very technically adept at the parts side of things. Long story short, we went and picked up the parts and put it together today. As of now, it's still on the sidelines and there wasn't enough time to put windows on it to get it up and running.
That being said, i've become acutely aware of some issues now that the case I bought is out and I can take a solid look at it. The Masterbox Lite 5 is a gorgeous looking case, and fit my budget of around 1.3 dollars. However, it looks insanely constricting on airflow in the front. Now the problem that i've come up against is i've seen people say they've had no issues with overheating with the case, and an equal number of people say they've had a lot of problems with it. So i'm wondering how bad a time i'm going to have with the build I have. Specs are:
AMD Ryzen 7 w/ Wraith Prism Cooler, MSI B450 Tomahawk
GeForce RTX 2070 Overclocked Dual Fan 8GB GDDR6
Front fans are the three that were pre-installed on the case.
We did replace the rear fan with an EK Furious Vardar EVO High Static Pressure 120mm fan. I'm worried, and really, really do not want to have to simply pull all the components out and return the case (as it was quite a long trip to Microcenter, since there aren't any reasonably close by). Are there fixes or tips if overheating is a likely possibility? Does anyone else have any experience with the Masterbox 5 Lite, and alleviating any issues with it?
And yes, I know I should have done more research prior to putting this together. But it generally had an overall good rating for the price, and I couldn't afford to drop -that- much more on a case. Thank you to anyone in advance who can help me with this!
