Hey guys,

I'm Looking to do some overclocking but my current Case i don't think is upto the job with good airflow etc etc.

So can somebody recommend a good case maybe with a side window, with plenty of space and good airflow ?

Also maybe some good fans to go with it has to be quite.

budget of about £50 for the case and about £30 for the fans ?


Thanks
 
Yeah I've got the cm690 dominator black case. Very good case, i7 920 @ 3.6 stock voltages. At idle on a mild day CPU temps are 26-28c, at load goes to 60-65 max. I have however add a couple of more fans with a fan controller.

Thats what i think i'll do just fill it up with fans :D

is it good the PSU loads at the bottom?
 
gives it higher efficiency because the heat from other components doesn't rise up and heat it up, also give more space for fans, radiators, etc at the top
 
Thinking of getting this onehttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-212-CM

But am i right in thinking when my PSU is in it will take up the one of the bottom fan holes ?
 
Would love my coolermaster cm690 to have a window, unfortunately you can't buy them on their own and definately not skillful enough to do a self mod. I've got Titan fennir CPU cooler but beware anything larger in terms of height +3 or 4mm won't fit. Got 4 120mm intake, 3 120 exhaust and 80mm exhaust fans. I like the xigmatek f1283s (120mm), very effective and relativly quiet.
 
i was gonna get the artic cooling freezer 7 pro rev.2 think tht will fit
Hi guys, I've accidentally broken the Intel heatsink retention bracket on my Artic Freezer 7 PRO Rev.2, and ordering a new one from https://www.arctic.ac/uk_en/freezer-7-pro-rev-2.html costs £7.99! Does anyone happen to only be using the AMD clips and wouldn't mind posting me their Intel one if I PayPal them the cost of sending? Alternatively, I don't need my AMD ones if anyone wants them
Thank you!
