Thanks, im just using the stock cooler right now, and in BF3 temps get to about 83C with the case panels on, and about 74C max with the panels off for best cooling. Overall no issues, just runs hot.

I would definitely recommend H60 or 620 for the CPU, that will help with GPU and overall case temps as well. Apart from that I think you'll have trouble getting that GPU much cooler since it's blowing half the heat back down against the flow of the Air Pen fan. Better in the FT03-mini to take a GPU with fan at the end blowing up.

I completely agree, i am going to be getting either an h60, but im really looking into getting a zalman cnps20lq, just trying to see if theres room at the base to fit the radiator, its bulky. The fan on the 570 does just shoot the exhaust air downwards and does nothing to reduce temps but i got such an amazing deal on this card it doesn't matter to me wink.gif Thanks for the recommendations.

I don't think the zalman is worth the money man, get the Antec 620 or the H60, they're all made by asetek at the end of the day anyways.

Haha, that's a thought.  I would have to start driving more if I want WU's to be completed by the deadlines though.

 

And I want this to be a full fledged entertainment system.  I plan to have a projector or TV in the trunk along with being able to run emulators and other games.
