Corsair 460x rgb or mastercase 5 pro ???

[Nikos Grammatopoulos]

So the title says everything , im looking for a case with smooth cable management and good airflow , those 2 seem interesting and good looking cases which do you recommend me?

(i have some extra corsair fans to put in case they are not enough)

Both of the cases are good. My friend has got 460x , when my other friend has be quiet silent base 800. Both of them using different fans. The only thing I can say as I built both of the pc's is that both have great cable management but if it comes to airfloat be quiet is way quieter and keeps everything cooler. The only difference between the rigs are processors. On be quiet there is i7 4790k and on the other one i7 7700k. With the same asus strix gtx 1080. Temps on be quiet (with cpu overclocked to 5.0 ghz) are way better both with cpu and the gpu. It's like 5-10% of the difference. I would go with be quiet , but if you like the looks of the 460x case just go for it. I haven't touched the other case that you mentioned.

Are you certain you want that much tempered glass on the case?

It looks neat in picture but in reality it's hard to clean, hard to get it to look nicely layed out inside the case, and the LIGHTS can be very annoying flickering around the room.

Thanks for you answer but im comparing the 460x and mastercase 5 pro

*It may not matter now, but...

I like the 460X better. It removes the drive bays at the front and has one at the BOTTOM-Front. It then has a covering that goes over it and the POWER SUPPLY which tidies up the case considerably.

The fans are RGB LED so you can change the color (or turn off) to match what the rest of the design.

Again, probably too late but I would look at motherboards and system memory that are black and white (maybe DDR4 that is mostly all white) as that can reflect a number of different colors better than for example a RED theme.

Same for the graphics card. The Asus Strix modern cards have an RGB LED on the side and back of card so both are visible.

Liquid Cooling support is good. Probably a 240mm radiator at the top for the CPU would be the best way to go. Think through the position so that the cables look their best in the case.

Thanks for you answer , but i recently found a new case NZXT S340 ELITE what about this one compared to those 2?

Go for the 460x RGB. I have never touched the Mastercase or the Be quiet case stated here. Had no regrets on mine. Do not get the 570x though. It's taller but less storage options and who wants visibility where you tuck in the cables? Glass on the front and the left side takes the cake. Magnetic dust filter at the top and front. If you keep your fans flowing from outside to inside (positive internal pressure), you dont have to clean anything inside. Wiping the dust filter on top with a dry tissue will do.

EDIT: you might regret going for that NZXT Source S340 Elite - not a show pony like the 460x RGB
