Hi
I have the Corsair Obisidian 550D for about a month. While its very nice, well built and quite silent (not super silent), I don't like the fact that the system produces a lot of heat!!!
The PC is under my desk and I feel a considerable amount of heat coming up especially while playing. I do live on a warm climate (30-40oC now during summer) and even if I turn on the air-condition, there is still heat coming up to me.
The configuration is a 7970 TOP, an i2400 and two fans blowing in and one blowing out. Do you have any idea how I would face the effect of heat coming up to me? Of course I don't want to change the 7970 or the i2400.
I was thinking of installing 2 fans on the side panel just to draw the heat to my left away from the desk, but then the noise would go higher...
