NZXT Phantom 410 case replacing?

[PrymusBlack]

I want to buy the Fractal Design Define R6. is it worth it for replacing it with the phantom 410?

If you want that Define R6 that bad, then sure. If not, then no. It's not going to make your PC perform better or anything... so this really seems like a subjective question you should figure out for yourself.

i want to replace it anyway because its an old case from 2012 (that suprisingly still 100 euros is) but just wanted to know if the air flow and such is better on the define r6, because its looks really nice and willing to pay that much for it if its good ofcourse compared to the phantom.

A few degrees Celsius, at best, isn't worth a whole new case unless you're convinced it is.

Most people don't even fully utilize the available fan slots anyway so real world cooling performance can vary a lot.

Just saying you aren't wrong for simply switching the case for its looks cuz we all know quality cases can easily last up to a decade and they do become boring after a certain point.

it also says ATX compatible, will a mATX fit?

[r.linder]

Most cases that support ATX will support mATX, but you won't gain anything from switching out the cases because they are both very good. You can if you want to, but just know that you basically won't gain much, if anything at all.

You would only see a big difference in flow if you were going from a case that only has 3~4 fan slots to one that has 7~8 slots, bought more good quality fans for those slots, and applied proper cable management, which can make a difference if you just leave all your cables out in the open like a savage. Cables may impede some flow if you have enough of them in the way, but 99% of the time, it's fine.

Cooling wise the only benefit of the R6 is it supports bigger radiators for water cooling. Phantom 410 only supports rads upto 240mm.....can do 280mm if you modify the case. So unless you plan on overclocking and want a 360mm radiator there isnt much point in changing.
