[SOLVED] Does the Apevia Genesis ATX tower case have sufficient fans/airflow for an RTX 3060 ?

[Fatblabs]

It has 3 front fans and 1 rear fan.

regrading airflow;
check images for the amount of vents it has, where they're located, and what sized fans are supported.
for optimal airflow throughout the case you want full front vents,
full ceiling vents,
rear vent,
and possibly side and\or bottom vents.

regarding fans;
check the case's manufacturer specs for what fans come installed.
most cheaper companies use low quality fans that may not move much air, may not have PWM control, and may produce much more noise.
many times it's a better idea to replace included fans with much better 3rd party ones.

Looking at the case the airflow from the front will be very poor. They chose form over function for the front.

Maybe if I remove the front panel will that help?

from the provided angles i can't see the gap between the front panel and the case.
if it's wide enough to provide adequate airflow you would feel quite a bit of air being sucked in around it.

it also appears to not have any dust filters for the front panel.
if these gaps are large enough for good airflow this may lead to very heavy dust buildup inside the case on GPU, CPU & cooler, RAM, etc.
removing the front panel would make this buildup even quicker.

have you already started building in the case?

I think that’s the wrong one. I think it’s this One: https://www.amazon.com/Apevia-Genesis-WH-Gaming-Tempered-USB3-0/dp/B08DL9D8LL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=10SBZDCNZAOD3&dchild=1&keywords=apevia+genesis&qid=1626638533&s=electronics&sprefix=Apebua+gen,electronics,236&sr=1-1

I see the gap too btw

those appear identical to me.
just a white version of the same case.

think i'd just return it if already purchased.

I see a filter, or so I think

Ehh probably not a filter

That card has less than a 200 watt TDP that case should be OK for the card.

Hmmmm, Alr

 

[Zerk2012]

Hmmmm, Alr

I don't see a problem using that card in that case with those fans!
