This case makes my room a #@$# Valcano, whats a good case?

[diduknowthat]

I got slammed with heat on the last case when installing the board now being used here. The trick was to lower board+cpu temps alike by increasing the air flow. The board saw 48C idle since the case had two 80mm fans; one for the rear exhaust, one at the top, and nothing in the front or side.

I think the P180B has enough airflow with 3 120mm fans (2 in his case), and room for 2 more in the front

try this :

149$ my buddy has it and its fans are good and its cool in the case.

But then it will get too cold... and he will have to run his computer/heater more to keep the temperature comfortable!

In all seriousness, though, try that. Heat dosen't stop until it leaves the room, so give it somewhere to go. If you keep the door to that room closed, open it and see if it helps.

Don't need to open the window all the way. Just enough cold air to mingle with the warm air, and keep room temp at a nice level. How windy it is decides how far to open the window.

or open the window...play for 30 seconds, then close the window...play for another 30 seconds...then open it again...etc,etc,etc

ive had an air conditioning unit blow in clod air from vents in the back of my case

And how would that help? The heat still has to go somewhere. It's just coming out of the water cooling radiator instead.

he said it was loud, but you can correct me anyways

well i figured out that all this noise is coming out of this air cooling VIGOR fan

Just make sure that your system doesn't leak, or else you'll have a HUGE problem as the liquid will leak into the powersupply, and that's never good.

keep your case, and get a dangerden watercooling kit instead of that bigwater crap.

Can't find that exact case, but there a lot of cases which are very similar (have a 25cm front intake). Just look around.
