So a few weeks ago, i posted about possibly alrming high temps on my vid cards. Since then, i went ahead and bought the cooler master CM690
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
I also picked up a new cpu cooler
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible Hyper N 520 RR-920-N520-GP 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
Not trying to be a cooler master whore, but they had free shipping, and on a case, that can make a big difference in cost.
Anyway, temps on cpu were at like 43C idle, up to 58-59C under load. Right now i am at 32C idle, sometime i get up to 41 under load, cool down times are fast too!
Since i got the bigger case, my vid cards went from being into the 90s on card #1 and high 80's on #2 to being at about 65C under load.
I had just an old mid tower with 2 92 mm case fanes( they were just 80mm until the heat started) I guess it was time to upgrade my case, and im glad i did.
This case was really cheap. its well built, and you can upgrade the 120mm fans to 140 if needed, also allows for a 120/140mm cpu fan on side, 120/140 for gpu's, 2 on bottom of case, 2 on top of case, as well as one of back for vent, and the one in front pushing in. It has a bottom mount PSU , which i must say i like. It also has a spot for an 80mm fan on the back side of the cPU, i just need a slim profile one, like 80x80x15 instead of the standard 80x80x25,
I like my cooler as well as it rocks out on my socket 775 dual core, and since its i7 compatable, i can use it in the future without having to buy a new one( this was a great deal as well, it looks like they took some time to make it fit extra well into a coolermaster brand case, the way the fans line up are great)
