Hey i wanna buy a new computer. I plan to buy Intel i7 7700K processor and Noctua DH-14 cooler. I wanna hit that 5Ghz meta. My preferences for ideal case are 75% low CPU temperatures and 25% low noise at idle . My PSU and GPU both have ability to stop their fans completelly. My picks so far are Fractal Design Define S, Fractal Define-C, Cooler Master MasterBox 5 and NZXT Phantom 410. My favourite so far is Fractal Design Define S because even its louder than the rest more than 5 °C CPU temperature difference seems more important to me. Its too bad i cannot directly compare NZXT Phantom 410 with the rest due to different System used for testing in reviews on this website. I would appreciate any thoughts and recommedations on this topic since i dont wanna criple my new System by choosing a wrong case. Thanks in advance.

Nope, the Mastercase 5 Pro is 1 C cooler than that case on max CPU temp.

About 3 C on ave.

And about 5 C on GPU.

Must have been looking at the wrong case review, the Mastercase 5 Pro is one of best cases for airflow out there.
I like my Cooler Master Mastercase 5 Pro, has excellent airflow and very modular.

Thanks for a tip but in reviews here on tomshardware it has 7°C higher CPU temperature than Fractal Design Define S. And i see you have 4.8GHz I7 7700k processor. What are your CPU temperatures in heavy load (Prime95/OCCT)?. Thanks for answer.
