i have 2 lian li pc65's from previous computers and i was wondering if they would provide enough cooling for a new quadcore build

the case has two 80mm in the front, one 80mm in the rear, and one 80mm fan on top ... the whole case is aluminum


thanks!
 
I have an old PC 60 and it was rough with my FX60 Had to keep the side cover off all the time plus the computer parts porn was bling to look at, heh. It did ok with my 8400 clocked at 3.6, but a quad core? = no side cover computer
 
I say give it a try. Put some quality fans (that means no led fans) in it and give it a try. I'm using a PC65 for my over clocked 8400 dual core with an ATI 4870 in it and it gets warm but never overheats. If it doesn't work out, send me a PM and I'll but your Lian Li cases. 🙂
 
I am not sure what you think is inadequate with a well built, all aluminum case with 4 fans? No offense but this topic doesn't make much sense to me, cases are cases are cases whether they are old or and new all that matters are the materials and number and location of the fans. It isn't like there is really any new "tech" in these areas except maybe for larger fans which move more air relative to noise, or the other being dedicated cpu-vents; but it isn't like the best performing and most expensive cases even really have those too often, or any other feature that is different from any old square case that is based on cooling, but rather noise, looks and accessibility.


*disclaimer, i use a pc-60 and it keeps my computer frosty. So much so that in my drafty room the aluminum cools the system down so much overnight that I have to use a hairdryer to get my asus ip35-e posting in the morning.
 
I have a PC-68 (similar to PC-65), and I popped one of these into the front 5.25" drive bays to improve the cooling (I got plain aluminum finish to match my case):

...with a 120mm Panaflo running at 1600 RPM. It also has a dust filter. I also modded my PSU so that its 140mm exhaust fan is no longer temperature-controlled, but running full speed all the time. The result of these two mods is airflow that is competitive with the best new cases, while I get to keep what I still consider to be the best-looking case ever made.
