What about this case? It's a little higher than I wanted to go, but I'd rather get one that is going to do good and serve me for a long time and spend that little bit of extra. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811517004

OHHH!! I understand what you mean. Sorry. Actually, what first drew me to the APEVIA X-DREAMER was that I could get it in pink (newegg doesn't offer too many pink cases, and it was the best one looks and fan/air flow wise and it has the temp display on it, too). But, I've since decided against...

I'm not sure I understand. It has a side fan with it... I don't plan to add any other fans (just the water cooling that I get).

Really? I don't overclock, ever. I'll look into those two that you listed. Thanks! :)

I don't want to spend more than 75 on the case, since I'm going to be spending about 800 already on my other stuff, too.

I did touch the heatsink closest to the graphic card when it dawned on me what could be happening. I felt a lot of hot air hitting my hand from the graphic card but the heatsink didn't feel hot at all. On Open Hardware Monitor (the one I mainly use to monitor temps) shows a temp #1 and a temp...

The case I'm looking at has a 200mm fan on the side, 2 x 120mm Top Fans, 1 x 120mm Front Fan, and 1 x 120mm Rear Fan. Hopefully with that and the liquid cooling that I'm looking at, I'll be golden. I hope. lol Thanks for the tip, as I am learning as I go. :)

Just a quick update (and hopefully a little help if anyone else runs into this issue later in the future)... None of my heatsinks on the motherboard were loose, we did add thermal paste to the processor's heatsink, but I don't think that was my problem... While I was looking over my...

The heatsink I was referring to is the one on the processor. I do apologize. I am completely new and still learning. I didn't know the blue things on my motherboard were heatsinks as well. I will have them checked. Yes, my motherboard is heating up. I have 3 programs to check temps with...

I'm assuming OC means overclock? Sorry, still new to all this. I don't overclock my stuff. It's all set to factory settings. Actually, my step dad is the one that puts my pc together. He said the heatsink it has didn't need thermal paste because of some metal backing it has (not sure on the...

I'm not sure what my case is. Very basic case, nothing special. As for cooling, just the heatsink that came with the processor and the exhaust fan or what not at the back of the case. I'm learning as I go with this build. :'(

I have a M5A99FX Pro motherboard with a AMD FX-8350 processor and an Radeon 7770 graphic card. I run dual monitors. I have for about 2 months now and haven't had a problem, but I've noticed my temps started running warming and now that get scary high (to me), especially my motherboard temp...
