|
 |
So I am looking to replace my old Chieftec Dragon which only supports 80mm fans and which I had to hack up to fit 92mm fans and a 120m fan.
Looking to get a Corsair Carbide 270R + 3x Arctic cooling 140mm fans.
The case comes with a 120 mm fan already included so I wanted to use 2x 140mm for intake at the front, 1x120mm exhaust at the back and 1x140mm as exhaust at the top.
I'm running an i5 4570 with a Cooler master 212 EVO and a KFA2 Geforce 1080 Sniper EXOC.
I think this case should be quieter and cooler than the current setup.
What are your thoughts on the case and fan configuration? PersonallyI like the case since it is not too expensive and offers a decent set of features with lots of fan placement options.

i cant really give you any recommendation, since i allways had cheap cases till i bought my one an only, that i still have and love..
So, i guess i just tell you what i got..
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower.
https://www.techspot.com/review/133-coolermaster-haf-932/
To be honest, this was one of my Best buys, the case is very Silent, its a lot of room and you can make cable managment, also the TEMPS are Wonderfull...
Also, after all these years with this Tower, the Big Fans are still silent and working like on day 1.
I cant complain really, i will use this Case till it falls appart..
My temps ATM (while watching a movie with madVR), so mostly Idle, besides the GPU..
Umm, WTF is going on with the CPU temp? 10c° ??? Well the cores display the Real temps, so i dont know, my room temp right now should be around 15C°.. yeah, its cold here, the Fuckers turned of the Heating 
Oh, im using NO Water, only AIR..
damn, the Corsair looks really nice..But its midi, nahh i hate midi..since i went FULL Big Tower, im never going back..so much rooom and Air..

15°C room temp? brrrr
and 10°C is ofc not true, try updating aida. or try a different program. if all show the same: the temp sensor is faulty (happens now and then, isnt a problem though)
back to topic:
the corsair is ok, used the older modell for an office pc for a friend. personally i just bought a fractal define r6 a week ago. compared to my old ass 15 years old big tower the idle temps are slightly higher, but under load its cooler. and silent, with the pre build 3 fans. it has massive free space, its quiet

NO! the top fan would kill the air flow. two in the front sucking inside, one on the back sucking it out again is enough for a decent air flow
temps on almost idle (browsing and watching a youtube vid on the second screen)
(using the 3 pre build in fans on my mobo connectors instead of the fan control of the case so the 3rd fan doesnt show up, but runs with the same speed)

good damnit, your right, the sensors aint stuck, but are borked, well, at least the TIN one and one of the cores..they are moving not equally.. Did the RealTemp sensor test..
Oh well, i still have 2 cores that show the right temp, need to focus on these now..
Ahh, the CPU is getting old, when i bought it, it just came out, the mighty Q9550..
Well, i guess the next thing i have to buy would be a CPU, RAM and Mobo..
Cause it sucks upgrading from an 775 Socket..
man, im soooo old school

Budget isnt exactly.high. 65 euro is about my limit. Since I still need to buy the fans for it.

Wait a bit longer save up the few bucks more and go with a fractal case. It will last you a good while.

Looked at a fractal design define c on amazon for 78 €. Seems like a good deal particularly since it already comes with 2 120mm fans.

Arukardo this one sounds great, only thing that bothers me is that it has a window and LED fans. Don't really like a lightshow but then again I don't run the computer overnight so might be tolerable.

My mobo does not have leds but my geforce 1080 does and i havent found a way to turn off the fan leds on it yet. But do feel free to snap a pic of it for me.

KFA powers the leds by the same cable which powers the fans itself, you cant deactivate them via software. you would need to cut of the specific wires
