Hello!
I'm deciding between getting the Fractal Design R5 and the Fractal Design XL R2 case for my new build.
Here is the parts list so far
i7 - 6700K
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Mobo
EVGA 1080 Hybrid GPU
Samsung 950 PRO Series - 512GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD
G.SKILL 32GB (2 x 16GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 PS, 80+ PLATINUM 1000W
NZXT Kraken x61 or similar water cooler
The idea for the build is to have the front and bottom set as intake fan. The outtake fans will consist of the 1080 Hybrid exhaust in the rear and the nzxt fans up top. All fans will be swapped out for Fractal Venturi fans with the option of push pull on the radiators. I'm also considering the possibility of SLI in the future.
Which of the two cases mentioned above would be better for cooling and noise(silence preferably)?
