It drops about 3-5*C depending on what fan you use. With the evercool fan I used before it dropped my temps down 5*C or so.

0.o

To say you need a bigger/better case is a HUGE understatement.

I didn't say the case was big, I said that you needed a bigger and better one...

Heck, I got my CM 690 for $40.... New in box.

The Raidmax case I had before this I got for $20 with a 420W PSU....

Basically, what I'm saying is, You need a new case!

@ AhokZYashA dude i thought my old iCute case was cramped but you take it to a whole new level and rubber bands hold your fans on "dude really" thats worth a x2 rofl and an old slot1 cpu cooler...

I've got 2 or 3 of them sitting round thought i might mod them so it ends up with 2 or 3 fans in the same sized piece and use them to cool my RAM as the shroud fits perfectly over the outer edges of dimm 1 and dimm 4

hey DON check out the new 3dmark06 result i just posted i took the gpu upto 920 and cranked up the cpu to 3333

@ Hockster doesn't it just bug the bejeeba's out of you when computer desk makers just don't make enough room on the keyboard shelf for the mouse aswell it's like they just don't measure anything

I used to, but the $100 a month addition to the power bill just got too expensive.

my chipset was too hot..
so i think its time to mod something, and i found a slot 1 pentium 3 cooler lying around.
and think why not..

so, it helps with my temps a bit.
and those fans was dead silent at 5V
but the slot 1 fan was loud.. @ 3800rpm

I actually did use one of those to cool my ram for a while but now I just have a 120 blowing across my mobo (plus the 250 on the side). In fact, just the other day I was thinking about modding it the same way as you Athlonite

I was wondering the same thing but forgot to mention it. Maybe he likes to turn his case upside-down?
