i7 is perfectly fine for small form factor! Just use air cooling. Passive will not work. http://bit.ly/ZaK4XX Here is a low profile cooler from noctua. That'll probably do the trick.

More fans = more CFM without significantly affecting noise. 7 140mm fans at 700rpm? Tons of airflow. I run 4 140mm fans in my fractal design R4 case. I have one thermalright x-silent, and 3 fractal design silentseries R2 (I got these 3...

I added some photos I took before I got the fractal design R4. I'll add more later, with up to date configuration.

Good idea. Ill add those!

I don't really think spamming the forums or anything is ok, so I'm going to do this just once. http://techderp.net/2013/04/2013-state-of-hardware-affairs/ I made a silent PC build using a fractal design R4, SSD, geforce 660, and 4...

I have a fractal design r4 with 4 500rpm case fans and My gpu+ hard drive are too damn loud. I moved the whole box into a closet.

if you arent a heavy overvolter then the hyper 212 is fine
