Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 4:49 pm Post subject: Cooling Case |
|
|
I'm have trouble deciding and in need of a good cooling case that'll keep my computer around 65 degrees. Right now I have a Mid Tower Centurion and video card is 70-74 degrees. I have a Geforce 9800GT and my computer has 4 fans that run a little loud. 3 that flow air inside and 1 outside. My room is 76-78 degrees. I also have an ATX sized motherboard, 5.25" drives, and don't need anything showy. Thanks.
Edit: Budget = $60

I use cooler master :
(front one) I got it for cheap cause my freind works at www.overclockers.co.uk . Also the jet 7 fan come included with it:
Other than that , just the normal cooling paste on the cpu and I bought a cooler master hard drive cooler/fan control/Heat monitor wich would work nice but its not really needed. They come with 4 heat sensors u can place anywhere in ur pc to monitor diffrent parts of ur system.
Of course as I live in cold ass england I have not tested it as much as you would need. I recommend u check out http://overclockers.co.uk/ forums as theres guys who just sit and talk about this kind of thing all day there.
Some cooling guides can be found here:

Those are the most ugliest cases ever, very very ricer-ish.
This is one of the most beautiful cases I have ever seen:

Who care if it's ugly, at least it does its' job.
Just cause the case is ugly doesn't mean it won't help cool the PC down.
Quality =/= Design

I don't really know what's a good temperature to stay around, but my friend's room is the same temp and his GFX card stays about 60~

That's about 2.5x his budget.
+1 for the antec 300, but if you don't mind going $10 over budget this is amazing.
EDIT: OP, it depends highly on the card for how hot it gets. If you have a newer nVidia card, they seem to be sacrificing heat dissipation for low noise, higer end cards in the 9000 and GTX200 series running at an average of 75-78C or so, whereas ATi's latest (55nm, the newer 40nm cards run much cooler) not cards automatically crank up the fan, sacrificing low noise for heat dissipation, usually running more near 65C.
