Best case for cooling

[Sox]

Title says it all really but which case is the best for cooling? Most fans you can add etc?
Thanks in advance

In terms of watercooling, both the Corsair 570X and 500D allow for a 360, 240 and 120 radiator in the same build which, looking at CFM, is the best you can do with custom watercooling (unless I'm forgetting something). If you want aircooled, there are others that should be similar but the Fractal Design Define R6 allows for seven fans.

The absolute best possible cooling solution at the moment is four 140mm rads and four QF140 fans in the DG-87 case with a full custom loop.

It seems like they'd be adding a bigger case soon:

Nine fans actually. Also does 420 rads in the top, 360 in the front and 280 in the base.

Currently in PCBS 4 x 140mm radiators for a custom water loop is better cooling than a single 420, or a single 360 or even 2x360 or 2x280.

The Thermaltake View 91 has usurped the DG-8x cases. Gonna take a bit to find the best balance of rad to fan ratio because of the sheer volume of cooling components that case can hold.

I'm playing with it here.. and so far in the View91 I'm able to loop together 6 radiators (140x5 + 360) and 6 case fans. Not sure what that will do for performance yet but about to find out.

EDIT: so far 7 radiators.. and some of the pipes go through the board.. but it works.

There's a setup you don't see everyday. You'd have to really enjoy plumbing to want four singles in your loop.

That's how the game is coded at the moment. I know it shouldn't be that way but that's how PCBS works right now. Tons of small single radiators is better cooling than multiple large ones.
