Just modded the top panel to allow more air flow since the air flow for this case sucks.



Gonna wait for the perforated metal sheet to come then will cover the holes underneath the panel securing using the screw holes

any improvement in temp/cooling with that large mod vent?

I am not home yet. Once tested I will share with u. But for sure got improvements. Evolv atx TOP air vents are know to be really bad

is it easy to get the top panel off? just pop the 2 tempered glass off and unscrew the screws for the top panel?

From the picture, the casing's front cover really blocks off the air flow. :eek:

How can air flow be sufficient with that kind of cover? :s11:

Mesh front - people say dust magnet
Solid front - people say blocked airflow

How ah?

There r 2 screws at the front top and 2 at the rear top, then just lift the top panel up. Pretty easy

If that is the case, why did the guy get a new front cover? :s11:
Airflow is there. But if you add a radiator in front as well, effectiveness will reduce further. There will still be airflow, just not as good as opened/mesh front. He like the look of this case, so he get it and mod to his liking for both aesthetic and airflow effectiveness.

Evolv ATX front cover indeed restricting air flow. There a few simple mods to go about solving it such as elevating the clips on the cover which can be sound in YouTube. As for the TOP cover, the vents are not efficient to exhaust the hot air out of the case which often causes the hot air circulates back into the case.

To solve this, I had actually machined water jet cut my TOP case to have some Vern holes which I had shown the photo in the earlier post. Today I am sending my front cover to be cut as well. I will shown the cut from cover later. After the cuts I will send all of the Alu panels for powder coats if not anodize
