Last question I promise before ordering hah can you recommend any different cases same price difference? want the best on offer for cooling not really fussed what it looks like tbh!

I have a i13 on my G4560 and it is overcooled really.

TBH a stock cooler will be enough for the i3, they are only 51w chips, but then again big coolers look better don't they

haha I may have budgetted him to be able to go with the I5, ill try it stock if it runs hot ill get an aftermarket cooler later thanks though!

I would be interested in getting your opinion on my own build though, the one in my siggy runs in a h440 case, and seems to be blowing out a quite a bit of hot air when playing games like h1z1? suppose mine is set up on 1440p mind! just seemed strange that it was running quite warm/loud when my headsets not on!

(sorry to hijack my own bloody thread to ask you another question mind!)

did you sort this?
what version of windows are you installing as Ive not had this problem with Windows 10

I will guess W7 as Win 8 and 10 shouldn't have the problem.
