Is this repairable? (Fractal Define R3)

i think is the same as me, i have the psu on top , top fans help a lot ,like 2 on the front xd
 
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 :)
 
err, super bike aka honda CBR or something similar :)
 
aha :D hmm just done driving licence for car but motorcycles were never my cup of coffee, maybe later i will like them more
