Hi everyone,

I’m planning a white build in the regular Antec C8 (without fans) with these specs:

Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WiFi7 ICE

Sapphire PURE Radeon RX 9070 XT

AMD Ryzen 7 9700X

360mm AIO on top (exhaust)

Planned airflow setup:

Side intake → 3 reverse blade fans

Bottom intake → 3 reverse blade fans

Rear → 1 exhaust fan

Top → 360mm AIO exhaust

I wanted to ask people who are already using the Antec C8:

Which fans are you using/recommending?

How are Jungle Leopard Prism / Thermalright / Antec Connect fans in this case?

Which fans gave you the best balance of:

aesthetics

airflow

low noise

cable management

I don't want to spend too much on fans, so I'd appreciate some budget-friendly recommendations.

Also, since the non-ARGB/non-fan version of the C8 doesn’t include a fan hub/controller, what are you guys using for:

PWM fan hub

ARGB hub/controller

Should I buy:

separate PWM + ARGB hubs or

a combined hub/controller?

Any recommendations for good hubs that work well with Gigabyte RGB Fusion would help a lot.

Thanks!

Had to use my old fans since the Antec's black ones that I ordered on Amazon are back ordered (they will send me an email with an approximate delivery date) Amazon does this to me all the time, but o well I think the white ones from y previous case don't look too bad, what are you thoughts??

Really happy with this case last time I owned an Antec case was back in the late 90's early 2000s, it seems well built love the curved panoramic glass a lot!!
