I have this case... | http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7351/cimg0026w.jpg | http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7500/cimg0027e.jpg | http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5295/cimg0028w.jpg | Running this fan in the front...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835200048 This fan in the side...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835200044 And the stock 120 as an exhaust and my idle case temp is still 39, my room is 25. It is getting a little aggravating. Any ideas?

Generic cases generally have poor airflow design.

Can you run without the side panel?

 

[B-SNiZ]

actually, I took it off to install the 80 on the side and the temp went down. I was hoping the 80 would fix that. I would prefer not to leave it off though, my case fans are at 100 percent, it gets loud

 

[newt111]

If the side is open, you don't need to run at 100%

 

[B-SNiZ]

yes, but I would rather not, I'd get all sorts of dust and whatnot in there

Idle temps are very unreliable.Load is what matters.

 

[newt111]

Also how's your cable management?

Buying better fans would be helpful like some cheap 120mm Yate Loon medium or high speed fans from Petra's. Svc.com has a cheap CM 120 mm Blue led fan too.

where is the case temp sensor located?

 

[B-SNiZ]

Went up 1 degree with 100 cpu for 10 minutes, although with the gpu and ram going it will go up a bit more. All my cables are tucked towards the other side panel as much as possible, I have some strapped to the side of the drive bays and all the psu cables that are being used (its modular) are hanging towards the other panel and the bulk of them are behind the dvd drive. And shouldn't 75 cfm be good for the front? I don't know what the back is

 

[B-SNiZ]

I don't know where it is, apparently know one knows where gigabyte puts their damn sensors

 

[Bazmecc]

ah, so you're going from the motherboard temp... case fans don't really have that much effect on that temp, you'd have to find it and put a spot fan on it to lower it...don't worry about it, really

edit: although most of the time, they're near the PCI-e slots, so depending on the GFX cooling, it might be making it hotter...I know that my old 8800GTX made the mobo temp rise a few degrees because of the slot on one end that let hot air into the case

 

[B-SNiZ]

I think its accurate though, b/c the cpu cools down to 39 idle with the fan at full and it cant go lower than the case temp.

 

[Bazmecc]

sure it can, unless you're thinking of the CPU IHS temp?

my CPU IHS temp is 34°C, but my mobo temp is 41°C

 

[B-SNiZ]

ah, i see, well then I guess it'll be fine until my next build, thanks guys!

 

[col musstard]

does it really matter what your case temp is? as long as your component temps are good who cares how the case is?

 

[konspiracy]

Dude mod the side of your case and put one of those huge fans on there two 120mm fans. That's all these newer cases call improved airflow,they six 120mm fans . That's not improved airflow that's forced air flow lol
