Thread: Corsair Obsidian: good air flow?

I am about to purchase a Corsair Obsidian pc container but I am a little uncertain about its air flow. I was preparation to mount a big rad on top and that would only depart me with one fan on the base and another on the back of the case to exhaust hot air.
Is that case bound for have a good air flow once all the components are fixed and running hot?

Is there any other container that would present similar aspects like the Obsidian but with improved air flow? I require a big case and good for water cooling!

When the case was foremost declared I took observe the photos and questioned ventilation, airflow and cooling. The division of the center into chambers was my main concern. I have still to perceive any thermal testing results. Devoid of some sort of testing it is very hard to form an opinion.

Decided, I have read a pair of articles about that case but I was just seeking a second opinion. I believe I am going for one of the Lian Li cases.

I would read this review before creating any final options; I plan to employ the Obsidian in my next build. If nothing else, the attributes (cable management, 140mm fans, black interior/exterior, water cooling ready, hot swappable drive bays, etc. etc.) are sufficient to sell most people on it.

Thanks for the article.

Yeah, I believe I am heading for grasp this one. I was a little divided between this and some of the lian li cases but this one is my option now.Thanks a lot friend.

Anytime friend! Happy to help. I for myself adore the Obsidian...just required to be sure you had some good writing on it.

I presently have Thermaltake armor silver and this obsession has holes finished it from so much modding and stuff. I just desire a big case that I can stay my rig nice and neat.

I Appreciate. I have never been too much into box modding have done a little, but all in all I favor a more furtive look. I actually love the cable management in the obsidian and the black interior/exterior. I designed on painting up my cheiftec dragon container (presently silver) to black int/ext but then the cable management would be such a pain that I formed for my time and attempt it would be worth it to spend a few bucks on a great case.

I read the complete review with great attention. Unhappily there was no thermal testing of any sort. I'm dissatisfied because outstanding thermal properties are a very significant attribute with gamers.

I read the appraisal on the day it was posted and was methodically impressed by the dynamics of the container.

It's true, the diagrams unaided do not really tell you much about airflow...but there are three 140mm fans and room to insert I consider four 120mm fans. I have a hard time believing Corsair would have gone during the developed/designing an enthusiast's dream without proper cooling but some proof would be great.
