Is the be quiet! Dark Base 700 a good case for airflow and thermals?

arcade15 · Mar 9, 2018

I'm running an OC'd to 4.6GHz i5-7600K and will have 3 be quiet! silentwings 3 120mm fans in the case. Gold certificate 650w PSU and a Cryorig H7. Will this case be sufficient for my hardware, and will I have good temps? I really love the look of this case but if anyone has a good suggestion (not a s340 elite) I may change cases.
Cheers.

Cooler Master does not make a Dark Base 700. That is Be Quiet. Yes, it is a good case. It wouldn't be my first choice though, because they are rather proud of their cases and tend to run higher than other brands.

Personally I recommend sticking to cases from Corsair, NZXT, Fractal Design, Phanteks, Rosewill or a few others in that are budget oriented if price is an issue. If you don't mind the cost, and like the aesthetics of the Dark base 700, then I see no reason not to use it. Be Quiet incorporates good features and quality into their cases.

Oh, whoops! Sorry about that, yeah I did mean be quiet!, same with the fans too lol. Was just wondering if it would have good airflow, price is fine and I really love the aesthetics. It was a close finish between the dark base 700, fractal meshify c, corsair 460x and phanteks p400s but this takes the cake.

Of those, I'd probably choose between the 460x and the Dark base 700 going strictly off features and quality.
