For an A64 with a PCI-E video card.

With both 80MM fans inside of course. Is this sufficient cooling?

what are you trying to do with your system?

Run it at stock with no overclocking and play games on it without it overheating.

there are too many things to consider just to say yea or no. what kind of fans are you gonna use, are you gonna over clock it at all, is it gonna be for games you have to give us a little background info?

wth... the guy just said he wasn't going to overclock

Well the only fans I can use are 80mm fans because thats the spots the case has. Thats pretty much common sense, no? Also I did say in my original post that I will use 80MM fans. Two of them because theres TWO spots for fans in the case.

So can anyone help me out here?

OK well this is what I mean I have Delta fans in my case and it sounds like a small air craft leaving the ground when I start up.. so not all fans are the same.. it also looks like you can mount a 60mm fan to blow air over the hard drive in that case that will help things as well.. It looks like that is a pretty good case if you do some wire management and have some quality fans in there it will be fine I am sure I would consider mounting a 120mm fan in the side of the case around the area of the cpu and the vid card if you don't mind doing a little dremel work... I also put blow holes in every case I have. The way I see it heat rises so insted of have it blow threw my PSU I give it some were to vent out..all in all it sounds like that is going to be a light user case and it will do fine I am sure... but I would def. drop in the side fan just to make things a little kewler... a cd is the best template for a 120mm fan hole...

80mm is unfavorable. low airflow or noise. thats your choice. you do get what you pay for.
