    Help with cooling

    Thanks for the advice. I've already tried mounting the stock fan using some arctic silver but no luck there. I've already replaced the rear fan and it helped slightly, previously I was hitting 72C. The hard drives are all at decent temps, the hottest is at 36C just now with a virus scan...

    Help with cooling

    I'm beginning to suspect that the case doesn't :( No, due to the stupid location of the front fan mounts (behind the hard drives so that it sucks the air through them from half-way inside the case) I can't fit a fan there as it would be bumping against my graphics card. :(

    No, the front fan definitely goes to the left of the hard drive cage. I looked at the H50 but Corsair recommends setting the fan as an intake which seems like a bad idea if I don't have an exhaust fan. Thanks anyway.

    Looks very nice ! However, I suspect all that light and noise would keep me up all night :( I'm thinking maybe a Coolermaster 690 II Advanced with a few low speed, low noise fans along with a large hard drive to replace some of the smaller ones that I currently have to free up some space in the...

    Help with cooling

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm taking it that those temps are high ! You're right about the cooling in this case - I got it as it's a relatively quiet case and my computer is on 24/7 and located approx 2m from my head when I'm sleeping ! I can't mount a front fan in it as the gfx card is...

    Help with cooling

    Hi, I'm looking for a few answers regarding my system and it's temps. It is an AMD Phenom II X3 720 based system with stock fan on it, housed in an Antec Sonata III case. Idle temps are ~40C with load temps hitting 69C. These temps seems little on the high side for me, although that is more...
