Hello,
I want to buy a new pc case along with a new cpu cooler.

My question is if and how much a case with a front cover will choke the front intake fans.

For example, will the Aerocool Aero-1000 have any benefit compared to the Phanteks p400, at temperatures and airflow?

I saw a video review of the p400 where the gpu gained 10C only by removing the front cover and leaving the fans exposed.

I have a p400. If you're concerned get SP fans. I use ML series fans which are balanced between AF and SP while pulling through a radiator and my temps are great.

Even AF type fans (as long as there isn't a radiator they're seated on) work great too.
