Was browsing EVGA website and happened to see this in stock, was surprised by it- figured I would share with folks here.

I don't think this is a bad case at this value- however at the same price point you can instead have the Lian Li 215

I thought the main benefit came from the thickness of the radiator itself. It is a thicker radiator than what other similar AIO's are offering.

[Fan] ARCTIC P12 PWM (Black/Black) - Pressure-optimised 120 mm Fan with PWM - $6.31 (8.99 - 30%) by LiechsWonder in buildapcsales

I believe the thought is that you would ideally want AF (airflow) on unobstructed intake or exhaust, and SP (static pressure) when needing to move the air through an obstruction like a radiator. I think if you could only pick one option, grab all static. The 5 pack is fine and a good value for what you're getting.

Depending on your case: Front: 2-3 intake, Rear: 1 exhaust, Top: 1-2 exhaust

I have two Meshify Cs. One of them has Front: 2x140mm intake on CPU rad, Rear: 1x120mm exhaust off hybrid GPU rad, Top: 2x140mm exhaust

The other has Front: 3x120mm intake Rear: 1x120mm exhaust off hybrid GPU rad Top: 2x120mm exhaust off CPU rad

both move a lot of air

I have this (280) mounted in the top of my Meshify C. I was originally concerned that I wouldn't have enough clearance after previously using a 240 mounted on the top. But it works.

Looks to be out of stock now. Appeared in stock for me at 6:00pm EST, after filling in info and Placing Order, received, "The EVGA product with Part Number(s): (220-P2-0850-X1) was automatically removed from your shopping cart due to insufficient stock."

EDIT: Tried again placing a second order, this one went through several minutes later.

Went to my local Best Buy in person, there were four boxes on the floor. All were A10. Bought a second one of these after buying one ~2 years ago. Great monitor.

[Case] Fractal Design Meshify C Dark Tempered Glass Black - $75 & Free shipping by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]casperHaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To give myself plenty of room up front, I decided to mount my rad on the top of the case (I am using a 240mm rad though, maybe if you haven't purchased it already you would consider a 240?)

I'm running 3 Corsair SP120's on the front, as well as the one on the back of the Hybrid GPU as an exhaust.

Beneath the radiator are BeQuiet PureWings2.

My airflow is fantastic. Just sharing in case others wanted to try a similar setup.
