The FD Meshify 2 Compact is out and we’ve already tested it!

The popular Meshify C case from Fractal Design finally has a successor on the market after five years. It was introduced on this day and brings a new soul in the old body. The fact that the case has undergone significant innovations is also evidenced by the weight gain of more than one and a half kilograms. The new Meshify is not heavier for no reason, also thanks to this it leaves the first generation far behind.

Conclusion

Meshify 2 Compact has proven itself in practical terms, but also showed a solid cooling performance, where it dominates over the current rivals primarily at lower noise levels/speeds. However, this does not degrade it even at higher speeds and keeps pace without any problems. I was quite surprised how it beat the competition when comparing the motherboard MOSFETs temperatures and heating the top of the case.

You will definitely like the quick side panel removal system and the possibility to remove the upper part of the case. In addition, great cooling and great flexibility to adapt to your needs, while the case is marketed at a reasonable recommended price of 108.99 euros. All this predestines the case for the well-deserved earning of the “Smart buy!” award.

The Meshify 2 Compact can be recommended to anyone looking for a smaller PC case for powerful components. Thanks to the large number of positions, you will not be short of storage capacity. I shall also emphasize the decent modularity, which will help in easy installation of components, also if you want to try different cooling options. Dust protection is at a high level even in dusty environments. Very fine nylon filters take care of that. All this gives the case great potential to use it exactly according to your ideas. Whether you’re a gamer or creative.

FD Dynamic 3: Efficient design (from Momentums) cheaper

They’re built on an exceptionally efficient aerodynamic design, but come at a lower price point. Using more flexible blades reduces manufacturing costs, and the bearings in the Dynamic 3 fans are also “simpler” compared to the Momentum series. For the user, this doesn’t necessarily mean any major drawback—on the contrary, you can look forward to more pronounced lighting, enabled in part by a larger area of light‑conducting material.

The end, or just the beginning? 100 fans in HWCooling tests

Our database now includes one hundred fans—75 in the 120 mm format and 25 models with a physical size of 140 mm. In this article, we have compiled all data into unified charts. What was once separated for clarity is now brought together again, and the commentary will also include a… look ahead regarding fan testing. But we can already reveal that there is still a lot more to come. Read more “The end, or just the beginning? 100 fans in HWCooling tests” »

Fractal Design North cases receive Momentum fans

It did not take long for Fractal Design to modernize the system fans in its North cases. Instead of Aspect fans (used in the original models), versions equipped with Momentum fans are now available. Yes—the same fans that we praised so highly in our tests. The internal layout of the North cases remains the proven, well-functioning design. How individual elements suit you can also be assessed based on our analysis. Read more “Fractal Design North cases receive Momentum fans” »
