Most Favorable Review

Decent quality, great performance.

Phanteks PH-TC12DX Dual 120mm PWM CPU Cooler, AM4 Compatible
Phanteks PH-TC12DX Dual 120mm PWM CPU Cooler, AM4 Compatible

Pros: Performs well when installed on a 4690k overclocked to 4.3ghz. Fans are not that loud when spinning up. Idle temps are low and allow the fans to perform almost silently. Looks good

Cons: Not super high quality. Good enough for the price. If you want perfect quality, go with noctua. They are excellent but very expensive. No eggs removed for this. The quality does not impact performance.

Overall Review: This is my go to cooler for budget builds or systems that do not need high end cooling. It is only $20 more than the Evo 212 and performs much better. Bigger than I thought it would be. Make sure to check what you can fit. I had 2mm of clearance.

Small, good airflow.

Cooler Master N200 Micro-ATX Mini Tower with Front Mesh Ventilation, Minimal Design, 240mm Close-Loop AIO Support

Pros: Small and light weight Build quality better than expected at this price point Comes with 2 stock fans Minimalist interior and allows the 3.5" bay to be removed allowing for GREAT airflow front to back. SSD mounting brackets Wide enough to fit big coolers like the dual tower 120mm Phanteks cooler.

Cons: Fans are alright. When the system is idle they dont make much noise if any at all.

Overall Review: The system only has 1 2.5" SSD which allowed me to remove the 3.5" cage. This fees up a lot of space for airflow and makes the build look super clean. The case is small and acceptable for people working in a business environment.
