Do I need a new case?
My current case just isn't keeping me happy. This is the second and last raidmax case(and psu) I will ever buy. Anyway, onward to my question.
__________________My motherboard seems to have some serious heating problems that has been limiting my systems ability to overclock. I thought getting a more expensive case with better air flow would combat this problem. Last week I found out about the new cooler Gemini II that not only cools the cpu but the motherboard chipsets as well. So now my question is. With a gemini II cooler do I need a really good case with cooling seeing as to how my heatsink would cool everything? I also noticed some cases are designed with the motherboard upside down. Would that effect my heatsink I'm planning to get? Edit: Just read a review another review on the cooler which was the complete opposite of the first review. Maybe I should just get a case with good air flow just to be the on the safe side. I'm thinking something like the P190 when it's released if it doesn't cost over 300.

I got the same motherboard and a e6700. maybe I can help... My mobo temps reported by probe2 is 45C under load and in an ambient temperature of 21-22C.
My proc is cooled by the crappy TT blue orb two... which of your components is getting too hot... I have contacted Asus about the temperature of the mobo because I thought it was running too hot too, but don't forget, it has "stack cool II".. he told me that it was normal for that board to run idle up to 52C Oh yeah, and for a case the antec p180b is slick... just read my sig....
