Case quieter than Meshify C?

Hello, I got a meshify C yesterday. While nice quality, easy to build in. My GPU runs incredibly warm (EVGA 1080Ti SC2). The case doesn’t do a great job of masking the sound of it either.

Maybe these cards are just super loud? Either way, the card runs much much warmer than it did in my old case which is a NZXT PhAntom from 2011.

Any mid-towers that do a better job at keeping noise in, and good GPU temps? I don’t wanna spend more than $100.

I’m using a 280 H115i GTX in the front as Intake, and two exhaust at the top. Both 120s. The case only allows for front mount, I could try it as an exhaust I guess.

The only solution I see is better and quieter radiator fans that I can turn past 50% without being in a wind tunnel (loud) that wold help cool the GPU which would allow to run at not so much of a aggressive fan curve. Either way, the case is loud because of my GPU this card is just sadly loud.

This I do not understand. Why would you want the intake air going into your case get heated up by having that air go thru the radiator. I would have the fans blow air out. I don't care where you put the radiator, on top or in front, in the back etc, the air blowing thru the radiator should be exhausted, and exhausting that heat outside the case immediately should be much better for temps overall.

Personally, I would have the radiator in the top rear and exhaust out on top. And then use just one 120 fans in front for fresh intake, preferably bottom front, and the other 120 in the rear for exhaust too. If you are exhaust air out the back and top, you will naturally be forcing intake, so you don't need nearly as much intake fans.

This case only allows for front mount radiator, im almost positive an intake is the best way. I’ve never once seen, reviews, benchmarks etc in the years and years of doing this using an AIO as an exhaust.

Case was returned anyway.
