What kind of case do you have? If you have a lot of stuff I would get a full tower rather than mid tower.


Silverstone TJ07

There are 6 fans in the case, 2 rear fans, 2 top fans, and 2 side fans.

The 120MM side fans are part of the HDD case and not much of a contribution to the main computer.

The 92MM rear fans are the intake fans and the 120MM top fans are the exhaust fans. there are no front fans on this case.

The main problem is the fact that there is no air moving over the graphics cards.

The solution is a hole in the side door with a 120MM fan blowing directly onto the GPUs, which I am getting ready to do right now.

Another problem I had was where the case set. There was very little clearance between the top of the case and the desk. The hot air had no where to go but to the back, where it was sucked back into the case.

A fan mod to the desk (tomorrow) should take care of that part of the problem.

EDIT: Installed the 120MM fan in the side of the case, overclocked the 4400 (2.2G) to 2.5G and played Far Cry for 2 hours. The highest the temp went was 51 deg.

Am all happy with the case again.
