i think is the same as me, i have the psu on top , top fans help a lot ,like 2 on the front xd

yes yes I think these are the most helpful fans

Can I ask you to switch off the new case extra fans? Then do the test? Thets would be more closer to the comparing the two case.

Thanks!
I got 2 fan only before in my case, the MB was like 65c .. put one more in the case, bought big PSU ( the PSU now never over 30c), the MB went down to 30C . but much noise now.

So, now I look all case tests, like yours, to determine, what would be the real best, less fun as possible.
Thanks again!

Hmm Im not sure if it is a good idea to turn off noctuas (extra fans), since they are the only outtakes, I put the original Corsair outtake to the front, under the optical drive as an intake

And yes I agree the case now isnt the quitest thing in the room

It is a bit loud but if you get 3-4 metres away you dont hear it

If I were you I would put 2 fans to front (1 to stock place) and second under the optical drive if you have enough place

then I would close the side perforations (holes for fans on the side panel)

And 1 to rear And 1 to top (also close 1 top perforation)

I did exactly like this. No top intake perforations on top, cover the side is make no diff.
Just too loud, temps is great.

Take out one of the fun no option , this is MSI MB, these series got heat prob with chipsett overheat/burn.

Dont need better PC, no need for upgrade.

Many people are chasing superb pc but often they dont need them, I dont know why, they just need the feeling they have new pc. Its right to rethink if its really necessary to buy a new one.

Many people who have older PCs are able to enjoy them much more, they make them better machines... Its all about (SW/HW) care... PC is like a car
