Nanoxia CoolForce 2 Review
Up Close: Â Roof, Rear and Base
The roof of the case has what Nanoxia call the “Air Cover”. Â it’s essentially a removable plastic panel that converts the clean lines of the roof into something that offers better ventilation. Â The panel is secured by a catch at the rear and is easy to pop on and off. Â With the panel off we can see that the roof has slotted mounts for up to three 120mm or 140mm fans. Â It’s also possible to get up to a 360mm radiator up here, but owing to the lack of off-set, 140mm based rads are a no go, which is a bit of a shame really.
Â
The rear of the case is a pretty standard ATX affair, with a layout we’ve seen a million times before. Â Nanoxia have though allowed for four water cooling hoses to pass though, so if you want a case with features that were handy 15 years ago you’re in luck. Â We should say that Nanoxia are not alone in persisting in offering us things we no longer need.
Â
The case stands on four rubber capped chromed plastic feet, which Nanoxia claim are de-coupled from the case to prevent vibration. Â The base of the case has a large mesh fan filter that easily removable by sliding it to the rear.Â
