Question CPU Air Cooler in a Dual Chamber Case?

[edo101]

Hi all, I am looking to replace my Phanteks Eclipse P500A with the MONTECH King 95 PRO

I was watching a review and the guy mentioned he does not recommend putting a CPU air cooler in a case like the Montech. For those familiar with these type of cases is there a reason for this?

I have always use air coolers because the idea of an AIO scares me. I'm worried about losing cooling performance. And my first time testing one was not really impressive lol. Very loud.

The case seems to have good reviews, is it any good? Are air coolers ok for this type of case?

The reason I am looking to replace my case is that I lost the packing box and shipping it between cities (which I do every half year) without it's packing box has taken a toll. Otherwise the case for the most part is nice. I need HDD spaces and 2.5 SSD spaces which it has. cable management can be a lil dodgy though in the back,

What reasoning did he give for this?

^That's the review. 7:38 is where he mentions it. And cooling is at 11:40

Lol he gave no reason.

Personally, I'd say just ignore him.

if you put incoming fans on the bottom, and outgoing ones on the top and back it looks like the airflow would be fine for an air cooler, I too am puzzled by this, perhaps he only said you should use an AIO because it looks like the top space is designed for one? or for aesthetic reasons? also with a big tower cooler you might not have room for the back case fan, but there would still be room for at least 5, maybe 6 case fans, I wouldn't have thought you would have a problem

edit: just a thought, if you regularly need to ship your PC would it not be better to get a case with mesh sides instead of the glass?

What cpu and gpu will you have installed that you need to cool?

I see nothing wrong with that case for air cooling.
Two included 140mm intakes will provide plenty of cooling air that will eventually exit somewhere.
Not the traditional front to back airflow, but it will work.


Tempered glass might concern me if you regularly ship the case.
