I'm a believer

I'm now a believer in case colling, a big one

with old case, bad airflow, bad wiring and no case fans cept for PSU
45 C

with new (chieftec) aluminum case, decent wiring and 4 case fans (2 front, 2 rear with a in front out back airflow) + PSU
39 C

ambient was about the same for both (+-2 FARENHIGH)

oh, those are CPU die temps, ambient case went from 34 to 29

just had to share, hope this encourages some people to do the same

Thats looks a lot better... I am currently setting at around 31Ã‚Â°-32Ã‚Â° C in my chieftec but its because of the ammount of fans.. I have a POS TT oem HS/F and it does not do very well but I have 7 fans.. 8 including the HS/F When I am able to get a better Heatsink and Fan I should be alot better off.. Good work...

Same happened to me. The first 2 case fans alone were a huge improvement. Temps went down 3 degrees.
