Hey, guys! I'm thinking about new pc build (high-end) and I found a NZXT H440 Black/Red case. It looks very nice and clean, but I think, that ventilation holes are kinda small.
Will there be temperature problems, if on the CPU i will add a Corsair H100i and there will be 1 Gigabyte GTX 780 Ti? Let me know what do you think.

Idle temps will be a little higher than normal air flow cases but load temps will be the same as the airflow cases if you use an AIO cooler. What this case does is cut down on the noise significantly and the dust when compared to an airflow case. This was my first silent case, my previous 3 cases were airflow cases and the noise is night and day with the same load temps.

Tech Uploaded made a video about air vs water, and after he took off the panels, the watercooler actually benefitted from it quite a bit.
It does tend to hurt watercoolers performance when mounted in top/front panels, but a 140/120 in the back wouldnt be as restrictive. A good 140mm like CM 140XL, close to high end 240mm rad in performance, would probably be better in this case.

My opinion - While i liked the case at the start, the airflow really pulled me away from it. Other than that, it looks great and has 4 fans included in the start. I also dislike no 5.25" bay. I wanted a fan controller for this case so badly since it was all about silence, but really, i had to spend twice as much on the fan controller than planned because i would need an external one.
