For the last several years I've been struggling with keeping the temps down in the case I'm using. I'm currently using a bequiet! Pure Base 600 that was originally released in 2017. I bought the case for a Windows XP build that I never got around to. Later when the headphone jack and a USB port on the front panel of the previous case stopped working, I moved everything into the Pure Base 600. The case is designed to run quietly and it does that very well, but the cooling isn't adequate when internal hardware is under strain. The reason for this is the size and location of the front intakes.
Because I recently upgraded my graphics card and memory, I thought it was time to upgrade the case as well. Five things I was looking for: better cooling (obviously), optical drive bay, option to install more fans (if needed), no window or RGB lighting (I suffer from migraines) and it has to be quiet. After looking at several options, the case I ordered is the bequiet! Dark Base 900 (not the pro version)...for 239 Euros. Demo below.
