Fan noise and cases

[LuDaCriS66]

I'm currently using an Athlon XP 1700+ with an Epox 8KHA+. I've got it all packed in a small generic mid tower case with a couple of fans. One intake at the front and one rear case fan to take the heat out. There is also an SK-6 with a YS-tech fan strapped on the CPU.

I'm getting 30celsius for the case and approximately 46celsius for the CPU (during gaming).

I will be purchasing an Antec SX830/840 or an Antec SX1030 soon. Will buying this case improve my heat issues much? Especially since there will be an extra rear case fan and more room in the case for air flow.

chances are good that you will see the temps drop a few dgrees, but those temps are fine as it is.

Heat issues? You really don't have much.. getting the SX 800 or 1000 will most likely drop it by a few degrees C closer to room temperature because mine is using four L1A's and it's right around room temp as I type.. if nothing else the processor cooling will be improved with the extra airflow..
