I used an affordable 140mm CPU air cooler in this case and it somehow beat a 360mm liquid cooler from my last two reviews. Same 9800X3D, same RTX 5080, and the exact same 40 dBA noise-normalized testing as before. But the real story isn't just the noise levels, it's what happened when I turned the fans all the way up... the Cooler Master HAF II 500 is here :)
