Great case! I have the 4800U PN50 and this case keeps the CPU at a cool 45 C when idle. Under synthetic load, the CPU usually stays between 55-60 C, compared to 95-100 C in the original case. There's no thermal throttling at all anymore and I did notice a difference when gaming.
I didn't use the included thermal paste, instead I bought a separate one from Thermal Grizzly. I don't know how much of a difference this makes, but my guess is that the included paste would do just fine since the thermals are so good anyway.
It took me roughly 4-5 hours to get the motherboard out of the old case and in to this new one. The old case got bent in the process, so this will most likely void your warranty. I also salvaged the Wi-Fi antennas from the old case and use them in this new case, this works fine as long as you pull the antenna cables through the ventilation holes so that they are not inside the metal cage.

Case is OK, but i think Akasa forgot that there are several versions of the PN50. Mine has (had) a displayport as well next to hdmi. The case does not have a way to maintain the displayport connector. I had to disconnect it and connect the second monitor over a usb3 to hdmi connector. Big minus for me...
I am probably a little bit too picky, I mean the 4 stars, but that's me. The case does its job perfectly - cools PN50 (and I guess PN51 too) quite well. I am using 4 monitors and this puts constant additional strain on the system, still the highest temperatures I've seen were 70 degrees Celsius and this was only for a few seconds in some full load situations. In the original case P50 skyrocketed through 100 degrees even on boot and I had crashes caused by temperatures almost every time I forgot to keep an eye on the load and the temps. So, it is a life saviour! Akasa will not and cannot solve the driver problems of PN50 and there are some, but the heat problem is fully cured. The temps of the two SSD-s I added are also good - the SATA under 40 and the NVMe 45-50. Depending on the model you can expect some differences, but not drastic ones. Why the 4 stars then? Well Akasa added the forgotten ports in V2, but there are some things that can be done better - the spring for the power button does nothing and the only thing it can do is to get lost inside and cause ... a problem. Finding the right leads for the Wifi can be tricky, bunding them with the product will not cause the price to get too high and will save the buyers time (a lot of time in my case). The thermal paste is not enough unless you are a magician. And finally the corners of the box are dangerous - it can be used as weapon, but I believe this is not the idea. All that said. I am happy with the Turing case and I'd recommend it, I'd say even, that it is a "must" for a top end PN-s (4700/4800), but it can be better with a very little effort and I doubt anybody who needs it will get scared of a few more euros if it is perfected.
