Level 20 XT

[Vinasis]

Hello, I am wondering if I go for air cooling for the Level 20 XT in the following design, will I get good airflow, sent this question to thermaltake via the website inquiry form but sadly no reply, hence I am hoping someone can clarify this to me:

1. x2 200mm fans at the front for in-take.

2. x8 120mm fans at the top for pushing out.

3. x4 120mm fans at the right for in-take.

4. x4 120mm fans at the left for in-take.

5. x2 140mm fans at the back for pushing out.

The pictures on the website or on youtube are not clear, they all state that the two large fans at the front are for in-take via the small side gaps, what about left, right and top? do they have an area to push/pull air? and is it sufficient?

- I am not interested in liquid cooling for the record.

 

Best Regards,

Thanks for the reply but sadly thermaltake can write that the case can support as many fans as possible, if i can't know if those fans can actually breathe well or not is the more important information, appreciate it.

Hey the 2 x 200mm on the front, 8 x 120mm on the top and 2 x 140mm on the back should work just fine for you. The amount of air that that will move in the case will make any air cooling set up happy.

The 4x 120mm on the sides would not be efficient in your situation on the xt.

Most of your air will come from the bottom and front of the case.

 

In my xt I am using the Floe Riing RGB 360 in my set up but before that I was using air will the same fan set up and it kept temps nice 

Tack thanks a lot for your answer, if you can please let me know, the in-take from the sides are useless? the fans on the sides got room to bring in air inside the case or it's completely covered in tempered glass and they're meant only for radiators?

Also on the bottom there is space for x3 120mm fans are those useful or they'll directly hit the HDD racks?

 

Thanks again.

Tack, I think I refreshed this page over 80 times today waiting for your answer, and #### bless you, you gave me the answers I need for this.

Really appreciate it, thanks for the clarifying pictures.

The bottom can take 3 or 6 fans?

Regards, 

[Vinasis]

for the bottom of the case, it can take x3 120mm fans or x6?

[Vinasis]

So If I understood right, If I keep all the HDD bays I'll be able to install only x2 120mm fans, correct?

Hey there Tack, just wanted to thank you for all the information, sadly wasn't able to do so yesterday because "I reached the maximum number of posts per day" set by thermaltake.

But to be honest something here is alarming, the post I made had no similarity on the net, most people buy this case and go liquid cooling, and I sent an email to thermaltake via their website form and no reply, posted on their forum and an employee of theirs just replies with the obvious specs that are available on the website of the product, and did not answer the specific question I had.

The lack of support is really alarming, even if i buy the case I was thinking to pair it with the expensive riing plus fans...but even on amazon and newegg people were complaining of non existent customer support...

Thanks again man.

Do you think if I use x3 120mm fans at the front it'll do good in-take? Thermaltake fans are very expensive and if I want to get the fan selection I want it'll cost about double the price of the case, while I found another brand and I like their rgb fans but sadly they only do 120mm.

So itll be as:

1. Front x3 120mm in-take.

2. Top x8 120mm push out.

3. Bottom x2 120mm in-take.

4. Back x2 120mm push out.

Might put even x4 120mm in-take on each side since the other brand is cheaper and looks cool in my opinion.

So do you think I can get good air flow for the case if I follow point 1 to 4?

Sorry for the ma y questions but I am not an expert on fans but I am good with cpus and other stuff.

Hmm so a set of fans that has the 120mm, 140mm and 200mm only available option is Thermaltake Riing Plus TT Premium Edition which will set me back if i go for the front x2 200mm fans, back x2 140mm fans and top x8 120mm fans about 460 USD..

And the other option that I had hoped it might work was the Enermax T.B RGB 120mm fans which would set me back 305 USD but will get me x23 120mm fans...

Please let me know if you have other options in mind, I do apologize for asking many questions but not many people I know own that premium case, just wish and hope thermaltake support was existent which is actually affecting my decision to buy their fans...

[Vinasis]

Bought the case the ring plus tt premium fans, just a question the 200mm fans fit between the tempered glass and the case or do I have to install it behind the chassis? Because if it doesn't fit between the glass and the case that would suck

Hello Tack, how is it going man.

So an update about my level 20 xt, I love it since I have a large noctua cooler push pull configuration and an rtx 2080 ti gaming x trio "huge card" which look like babies in this case.

But since you're an owner I have a question for you, I am worried about dust building faster in the case from the sides, have you had this problem? And for the front 200mm fans I think they are not able to get enough air in since they are between the chassis and the glass, I am thinking of putting them from the inside of the case think this might help?

Cable management was tough but I managed to organize the hdd cages in a way that they lock the cables over the gpu so it looks clean now ^^.

One thing I wish I was able to find is a way to put a psu shroud to easily cover the cables from both sides...that would make it more amazing.

 

Hope to hear your thoughts and once I get back home I'll post some pictures of my build so it can be of help to others planning to go crazy air cooling like me in this case ^^

my commander pro has fried, was wondering what the best fan controller options would be for planned 2 rear, 6 top 2 front fans total possibly 2 on the bottom at some point as well
